How Do You Choose Between Event Booth Display Options?
Choose an event booth display by venue first: a 10x10 canopy tent ($759.69 logo-only, $973.69 full custom) anchors an outdoor booth, and an 8 x 8 ft step and repeat backdrop ($492.19) anchors an indoor one. Add a retractable banner stand from $213.99, a 6 ft table throw at $213.99 and a feather flag from $203.29.
Choose an event booth display by the venue first and the viewing distance second. Outdoors, a printed canopy tent anchors the space; indoors, a backdrop or tension fabric display does. Then add a banner stand for close messages, a table throw for the table and a feather flag for distance.
A professional setup usually has three layers. An anchor piece establishes the booth and carries the brand from far away. Mid range pieces, like banner stands and table covers, carry offers and services at conversation distance. An attention piece, like a flag, pulls people in from across the lot or the hall. The event display packages page plans all three as one brand system.
How Do the Main Event Booth Displays Compare?
The six common event booth displays differ in where they work, what they cost and how fast they are produced. Every price below is the starting configuration on the product page, and every turnaround is that product's own production time after artwork approval.
| Display | Starting price | Size | Production | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10x10 Event Tent | $759.69 logo-only, $973.69 full custom | 10 ft x 10 ft | 3 to 4 business days | Outdoor anchor |
| Step and Repeat Backdrop | $492.19 | 8 ft W x 8 ft H | Next business day | Indoor back wall, photo spot |
| Standard Retractable | $213.99 | 23 x 66 in to 47 x 81 in | Next business day | One standing message |
| Tension Fabric Stand | $449.39 | 36 x 90 in | Next business day | Seamless indoor graphic |
| 6ft Table Throw | $213.99 | Fits a 72 x 30 x 30 in table | Next business day | The table front and sides |
| Feather Angled Flag | $203.29 | 9 ft to 18 ft | Next business day | Visibility from a distance |
Shipping is a flat $10 per order to any US address, so a booth ordered together ships for one flat rate.
When Is a Canopy Tent the Right Anchor?
A canopy tent is the right anchor for any outdoor booth: farmers markets, festivals, races, outdoor expos and tailgates. It gives your team shade and puts your brand on a roof people can see over a crowd.
The 10x10 Event Tent is $759.69 as a logo-only canopy, one solid color with your logo in black or white, and $973.69 with full color seam to seam printing. Both come on the V6 value frame with ropes, stakes and a carry bag. The canopy is printed on 6oz weatherproof polyester. Larger 10x15 and 10x20 tents and printed walls are on the canopy tents page, and the canopy frame guide compares the five frame tiers.
When Is a Backdrop or Tension Fabric Display Better?
A backdrop or tension fabric display is better indoors, where the booth already has a back wall line and a roof would be in the way. It turns a bare pipe and drape space into a branded wall.
The Step and Repeat Backdrop is $492.19 at 8 ft wide by 8 ft high, with 9 ft and 10 ft wide sizes. It uses telescoping 1.625 in poles and 9oz wrinkle free dye sub fabric, and it doubles as a photo wall. The Tension Fabric Stand is $449.39 at 36 x 90 in, with a 48 x 90 in size. Its pillowcase graphic slides over an interlocking aluminum frame with a steel base plate, no tools required.
Where Do Banner Stands, Table Throws and Flags Fit?
Banner stands, table throws and flags fill in around the anchor. A banner stand carries one message at eye level, a table throw turns a plain folding table into branded space, and a feather flag reaches people who are still walking past.
- Retractable banner stand. The Standard Retractable is $213.99 and comes in five sizes from 23 x 66 in to 47 x 81 in, with a travel bag. The graphic rolls into the base for transport. See every stand on the banner stands page.
- Table throw. The 6ft Table Throw is $213.99, printed seam to seam on 8.8 oz polyester, in a 3-sided open back or 4-sided closed back cut. The 4ft is $181.89 and the 8ft is $246.09.
- Feather flag. The Feather Angled Flag is $203.29 at the 9 ft size, with sizes up to 18 ft and several base options. It works indoors and outdoors.
Which Event Booth Display Should You Start With?
Start with the anchor that matches most of your events, then add one mid range piece and one attention piece. That three piece core covers most booths and grows as your event calendar does.
| If most of your events are | Start with | Then add |
|---|---|---|
| Outdoors | 10x10 Event Tent | 6ft Table Throw, Feather Angled Flag |
| Indoors | Step and Repeat Backdrop or Tension Fabric Stand | Standard Retractable, 6ft Table Throw |
| Both | 10x10 Event Tent | Standard Retractable, 6ft Table Throw |
For outdoor events, the Essentials Package bundles a 10x10 custom canopy and a matching 6ft fitted table cover for $1,059.29, produced in 3 to 4 business days. The other kits are on the tent packages page, and everything for indoor shows is on the trade show displays page.
How Do You Keep Every Piece on Brand?
Keep every piece on brand by ordering them together from one approved set of artwork. Logo sizes, colors and message order stay consistent across the canopy, the stand and the table.
Every order comes with a free proof after you order, and nothing prints until you approve it. Artwork is included with every canopy order. If you need artwork built for another piece, pick Design it for me on the product page for $29.99, free when the item is $499 or more. Planning a full booth at once? Start on the event display packages page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Choose by venue first, then by viewing distance. Outdoors, a printed canopy tent is the anchor; indoors, a backdrop or tension fabric display is. Then add a banner stand for messages people read up close, a table throw for the table, and a feather flag to be seen from across the venue.
A Table Top Banner Stand at $106.99 is the lowest priced display in the banner stand range, and an X-Stand starts at $117.69. For a full booth, a 6 ft table throw at $213.99 and a Standard Retractable at $213.99 cover the table and one standing message.
A canopy tent is better outdoors because it gives shade and a branded roof you can see from a distance. A backdrop is better indoors, where a booth has a back wall and no need for a roof. Many businesses that do both kinds of events own one of each.
Banner stands, backdrops, tension fabric displays, table throws and feather flags are produced the next business day after artwork approval. Custom canopy tents and tent packages take 3 to 4 business days. Shipping is a flat $10 per order to any US address.
