Custom Display Manufacturing Capabilities

A great tagline for custom exhibits, homes, and vehicles is “if you can dream it, we can build it.” Although that is essentially true, cost and manufacturing capabilities do limit the possibilities to a degree. If I dream of a custom booth with 24k gold handrails, interactive touch screen walls, custom built wood furniture, and a built in arcade, although it is possible to fabricate, I may not be able to afford it, or it may take too long to build. As we continue to go behind the scenes of the trade show industry, now is good time to cover our custom display manufacturing capabilities! Let’s get into it!

How are Custom Displays Made?

As we continue to take a look behind the scenes of the trade show industry, let’s take a step back and look at the nuts and bolts of what makes it work. In this post we are going to answer the question: How are Custom Displays Made? If you are in the custom display market, make sure to read this post in depth while you are searching for the perfect custom display builder. If you are unfamiliar with the custom display process, think about the custom home building process as a reference.

Ask yourself, are you looking for a display that essentially looks like all the others, with slight modifications to make it your own? Or are you looking for a unique, one of a kind custom booth that is perfectly tailored to your company? Just like in the home building world, the custom display is going to cost more, take longer to build, and require teamwork between the builder, project coordinator, and customer. However, it has the ability to set your company apart from all others. Let’s dive into the process to understand how we build our custom trade show booths!

What does Made in USA really mean?

When a product is marked “Made in USA” that means it was all made in the USA.  Why would anyone question a statement so clear and simple? Well, like most things in life it isn’t that simple.

However, there are many products available that are really Made in the US. For customers shopping around, let’s go behind the scenes of the trade show industry so you know exactly what you are buying! What does Made in USA really mean?
