FAQs

Everything you wanted to know about designing, building, and shipping a custom exhibit, answered by our team.

Our custom exhibits are built from a wide range of materials including aluminum and steel, wood, laminates, acrylics, plastics, tension fabric, and specialty finishes. Because fabrication happens in-house, including our own metalwork, we can match materials to your design intent, durability needs, and budget. The result is an exhibit that looks the way it was designed and holds up show after show.

The biggest cost drivers are booth size, structural complexity, materials, and features like AV integration, lighting, and custom fabricated elements. Shipping weight, installation labor, and how many shows the exhibit needs to support also play a role. We design with your total program cost in mind, not just the build price, so you know what ownership looks like.

Yes. We engineer many of our custom exhibits to scale across footprints, so the same investment can work as a 10′×20′ at one show and an island at the next. It’s one of the most effective ways to stretch your exhibit budget across a full show schedule.

Absolutely. Many of our clients pair custom fabricated features with modular systems or rental components to balance impact and budget. This hybrid approach lets you invest in the elements that define your brand while staying flexible on the rest.

Yes. Design, engineering, and fabrication, including carpentry and metalwork, all happen under one roof at our Chicago facility. That means tighter quality control, fewer handoffs, faster revisions, and one accountable partner from concept through the show floor.
