Most Booths Only Need Three Things
Walk any trade show floor and the booths that look professional are almost always using the same three products: a backdrop banner behind the booth, a retractable stand near the entrance or aisle, and a table runner covering the table linen. You don't need a custom build-out to look established — you need these three, ordered in matching branding.
1. Backdrop Banners — The Photo Wall
A backdrop banner is the large banner that hangs or stands behind your booth — it's also what attendees stand in front of for photos, so it does double duty as branding and as a step-and-repeat if you print a repeating logo pattern. Priced at $4 per sq ft:
| Size | Sq Ft | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 6′ × 8′ | 48 | $192.00 |
| 8′ × 8′ (most popular) | 64 | $256.00 |
| 8′ × 10′ | 80 | $320.00 |
| 9′ × 9′ | 81 | $324.00 |
Add $60 for pole pockets top & bottom if you're mounting on a framed display system instead of grommets.
2. Retractable Banner Stands — The Attention-Grabber
A retractable stand near the aisle or your booth's entrance is what catches someone walking by. We sell it as a complete kit — $189 flat for the printed 80″ × 33.5″ banner, the aluminum retractable stand, and a carry bag — so there's no separate hardware purchase to remember.
3. Table Runners — The Finishing Touch
A plain table skirt or bare linen makes even a well-designed booth look unfinished. A printed table runner sized to your table fixes that instantly, and it's the cheapest of the three:
| Size | Fits | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 24″ × 72″ | 6ft table | $40.00 |
| 30″ × 72″ | 7ft table | $50.00 |
| 36″ × 72″ | 8ft table | $60.00 |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need all three, or can I order just one?
Order whatever your booth actually needs — plenty of exhibitors just order a banner stand for a small booth. The three together are simply the combination that covers backdrop, aisle visibility, and table presentation for a standard 10x10 booth.
Can the backdrop banner double as a step-and-repeat?
Yes — if you design it with a repeating logo pattern rather than one large graphic, a backdrop banner works exactly like a step-and-repeat photo wall.
Does the banner stand come with everything included?
Yes — the $189 price includes the printed banner, the aluminum retractable stand mechanism, and a carry bag. Nothing else to buy separately.
How fast can I get a full booth kit shipped?
Order before our daily cutoff and all three ship the same day via free FedEx Priority Overnight, typically arriving the next business day.
