Exhibitors tight on time count on quality, colourful pop up stands so they can be equipped for displays within a few minutes. Time has become a more valuable commodity than ever before, and the need to save your time equates to being an important total cost reducing measure. For all those mixed up in business of demonstrating for conventions and trade shows, new choices of powerful pop up banner stands have become mainstays of sales and promotion presentations.
Employees aren’t checking in to a inn the night before the Exhibition. Most people involved in shows in exhibition halls are simply no longer willing to donate the evening before a trade show by arriving on their own time. Further more, employers can not afford the expense of the additional nights accommodations as well as dinners so that a event may be readied in advance. Personnel need to be able to hit the floor running the morning of the actual exhibit and be able to create a complete display inside of one hour. This might not have been accomplished prior to the introduction of the pop up stand.
The way to guarantee a vibrant portable exhibit utilizing pop up stands should be to fill up the given space of unit with a selection of styles, structures and colours. Pop Up stands come in a number of variations and a full selection of sizes. What is recognized as the classic pop up display usually has a smooth curve built within its structure in order to enable both steady balance and a compelling design. If desired, this structure can be found in a straight front narrow format. This framework is covered by a vivid image which can contain photography, illustrations and written content. A classic pop up display can be produced to be double sided, therefore enabling either a concave or convex curve design in your exhibit. Ideally, these displays are going to be situated so as to be viewed in both front and back. Basic pop up stands are available in sizes up to 3000 mm wide and 2100 millimeters high, however bespoke options are available. This means they are big enough to easily function as backdrops for an exhibition cubicle. Pop up stands may be easily linked together producing as large a display as wished. Massive amphitheatre effects can be produced using pop up displays, however they need to have a greater degree of structural stability.

Deciding on the best Pop-Up Stand For You

So, ok you realize what a pop-up stand is, how on earth do you choose the best pop-up stand to match the needs you have?

Well the first thing you need to understand is how the sizes work on a Pop-Up stand. As opposed to everything else in life, which is calculated using either metric or imperial measurements, pop-up stands have their own unique measurement system!

Pop-Up stands are grouped and sized by the number of sections or ‘boxes’, which make up the shell of the Pop-Up stand.

Mostly pop-up stands tend to be three ‘boxes’ tall (that is the very first measurement) and usually come as normal in widths of one, 2, three, 4 & five ‘boxes’ wide. It is also worthy of noting that Pop-Up stands may come up to 5 ‘boxes’ tall and can be linked creating a virtually limitless length (as well as shapes!).

Next you should determine is whether or not you would like a curved or straight stand. The most popular choice is the curved unit(about 85% of sales) but that does not imply the straight version is not right for you. The best way to decide is to think about where your stand is going to be placed, if it’s in a corner then a curved is better, if it is along a wall structure and you have only a little space then the straight is most likely better suited.

Lastly, you should choose whether you would like a material or printed graphic option. The main difference between the 2 isn’t in the stand but the actual panels which are fixed to the face of it. Most people pick the printed graphic option because of the more professional look, which may be achieved with a huge personalised graphic. The material alternative is better suited for applications where the user would like the ability to regularly change their own graphics (usually by utilizing Velcro) for instance inside a foyer, college or even library.

Be very careful when you compare what seems like a like for like product, frequently they aren’t the same height or width! Several suppliers will pass off a mini or midi stand as the full size unit. So if for example, you are comparing 3×3 stands remember that the ‘boxes’ may be different dimensions among different products and brands. If in doubt always ask for the size of the stand in millimetres.

Only a few short years ago Pop-Up stands ended up quite infamous for being a nightmare to assemble, however nowadays as long as you recognize what you are searching for you can get some incredibly great stands which will ‘go up’ without a glitch in under two mins!

Right now there are a huge variety of Pop-Up stands on the market all of which fluctuate in quality of manufacture. Yes that is right possibly the best piece of information I can provide you with regarding Pop-Up Stands is that they aren’t all exactly the same! Numerous companies will wash over this particular simple fact since they’re attempting to sell you their cheapest possible stand so as to become more competitive or generate a better margin.

Think before you buy, ask plenty of questions and ensure you are getting a like for like quote for a proper comparison.

The Flexible World of A Pop Up Stand

Pop up structures include the ability to join together utilizing ‘ghost’ panels. These are individual panels, exactly the same width as any other panel on the original stand but rather than being attached to the main frame, the graphic is actually utilized like a joining panel in between two individual structures. This gives the impression of one  continuous stand. This gives you lots of alternatives and great flexibility when you imagine the permutations that could be built. For instance, 2 curved stands may be combined, 1 facing the front and also 1 in reverse. This can build a snake like pop-up screen that will develop an easy in and out curve. This can also be twin sided should you decide make use of it as a focal point to your event.

It is possible to also create some different designs by combining pop-up frames at 90 degree angles to create displays that may fit completely into the corner within your event space.

Even though the majority of portable exhibition stands are 2.2m high, you can find taller stands out there that could offer extra visual presence for your exhibit without taking up any additional floor area. Pop Up stands can be purchased up to 3m high off the shelf and some companies offer a bespoke service so you could go higher, this is certain to stand out amongst displays which are almost all standard height. In addition , it offers you a lot more flexibility for the design because you are in possession of much more visible area to work with.

Whether or not you choose to utilize a basic sized pop-up screen or perhaps a distinctive bespoke stand, you will find several accessories that you just could apply to your display to make it more than simply a space to exhibit your graphics. You will discover show shelving that might be integrated into a display as well as literature shelves to display business pamphlets and booklets. Lighting is also important and is easily fitted to the stands.

No matter which pop up stand you purchase, the most important factor is that you use it well and create an exhibit that is astounding and represents your business perfectly.

The Pop Up Stand with a Bit of a Curve – Introducing the L Shaped Pop Up Stand.

For years in order to create a “L” Shaped Curved wall for a clients show or event I have had to mess around with two different pop up stands and join them with ghost panels. At last somebody has designed and made a ready curved pop up stand  – the L Shaped Pop Up Stand. HOOOOOOOORRRRRRRAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!

The L Shaped Pop Up Stand is just as easy to use as a normal pop up and is transported just the same but the advantage of this new type of stand is that it is just one unit therefore cheaper!!

I can honestly say I will over period of a trading year source and supply over 30 clients who request such a stand for their exhibition or event. The L shape allows them to create a two walled display and is nice and curved so creating a smooth finish. Also the L is a great room divider. I have used them before to create interview bays for an event with graphics the whole way around the unit. As mentioned before in order for me to create the shape previously it would need two pop up stands plus extra ghost panels to join the two together and this could, dependant on size and make be a costly exercise.The price of the L shaped Pop Up Stand is about the same as a normal pop up stand!

The Show Store supplies the L shaped Pop Up Stand and it comes complete with full colour graphics. Just like the Supremacy Pop Up the transit case and lights have to be purchased separately – so be aware! The Stand comes in 3 sizes – 3×3, 3×4 or 3×5 and don’t forget they can be linked together just like any other pop up stand to create some weird and wonderful shapes.
