Knowing exactly what your trade show booth design will look like once it is built and installed is imperative. IGE exhibit booth designers apply their many years of experience using state-of-the-art tools to provide you with the perspective needed to understand how the final structure will appear.

One-of-a-Kind Custom Trade Show Booth Design

Our clients come to us inspired by numerous designs, materials and layouts. Each has different goals to reach and various budgets to work with. To develop a unique exhibit design, our team starts from scratch, beginning with an informal meet and greet. We want to know everything about your brand, its history, mission and vision for the future. What do you hope to achieve by attending a particular event? A client who plans on attending a trade show event to showcase a new product will require a different type of booth than a client interested in increasing sales.

It’s equally important that we learn about your audience when designing your exhibit booth for trade shows. Who buys your products and uses your services? What interests do they have? What problems are you trying to solve? The more we know about your customers, the better we can consider the visitor experience. Your exhibit may look great, but if it’s not attracting your audience and encouraging them to stay, it’s not doing its job.

Necessary Specifications

Once we have a better idea of who you are and who you are targeting, we can turn our attention to the details that affect the actual design of your trade show booth. What type of look and feel are you going for? How often will the structure be used and in what type of events? What sort of elements will be needed? In addition to the basics of a trade show booth (size, colors), what tone and message do you want to convey? What type of visitors do you want to attract and how do you want them to feel when they leave? Sometimes it can be difficult to communicate, but our design team understands this feedback and will ask the questions you might not know need to be addressed. This is how a truly custom exhibit comes to life.

With your budget in mind, we first consider the allotted space of your display and the visitor journey desired. We then integrate the right forms and determine the best materials to support the stand and messaging. Finally, our expert exhibit designers weave it all together to deliver a 3-D animation or rendering that accurately represents the finished structural concept. 

Addressing Each Detail

Once our design team has a firm understanding of your business and customers, we can begin space planning, choosing materials, constructing the visitor experience and more. Our team comes together and records every idea we have. We don’t hold back – better to shoot for the moon and land among the stars! No matter how silly or impractical it may sound, we share everything during our brainstorming sessions. Eventually, things start coming together to form the foundation for your custom trade show booth design.

Here at IGE Group, we design to impress and wouldn’t have it any other way. To help clients see our vision, our team renders a 3-D design of your custom trade show booth. In some cases, we develop an actual animation so clients can better visualize the attendee travel path and other details.  This offers clients a visual of what their exhibit design will look like from top to bottom. Displaying this information in a 3-D format provides a true-to-life example of what to expect, eliminating misunderstandings. If there is something you don’t like, let us know and we’ll make it right.

From Design to Reality

When the exhibit design has been approved by the client, our team rolls up its sleeves and begins the detailing process. What materials, tools and forms are needed? Will the layout be comfortable and accommodating for guests? What types of electricity and lighting are essential?

Detailing is a key part of building custom trade show displays because it forces our designers to go through every aspect before the physical work begins. All details are addressed and we make sure that we have the capabilities to execute lighting, electrical outlets, elevations, visual communications and more. If there is something that won’t work as it should, we’ll let you know right away so a proper substitute can be made.

In most cases, our design team is able to get the exhibit design to match exactly what was shown in the 3-D rendering. This process is just an extra step to ensure that we have all the right tools and equipment to achieve the design for your setting.

Building on Our Own Terms

Our team fully fabricates the final product in-house, using state-of-the-art equipment and CNC machinery. We have our own facility that offers us complete control of the process. This allows us to maintain high standards when building modular systems, portable exhibit components and custom exhibits. We also have access to high quality, versatile materials, such as lightweight substrates, large-format fabric graphics and dimensional signage.

Once the exhibit booth design is complete, our team ensures that all components work as they should. Finally, let us know what logistics you need. We can accommodate most shipping, installation, dismantling and storage needs, so you can focus on what you do best – selling your products and services!

IGE Group has designed thousands of custom exhibits and is confident designing one for you! Our experience specializing in the design and fabrication of trade show exhibit displays and exhibits will give you the edge needed to stand out on the showroom floor. Are you ready to impress your audience with an innovative custom exhibit built specifically for your brand? To learn more about custom designing your next exhibit, contact IGE today.

IGE facilities include custom exhibit fabrication capabilities. Our goal is to build every structure to match the exhibit design. A team of designers and builders prepare every detail of the exhibit in our headquarters facility. 

Most exhibitors have specific goals that mandate distinctive booth features. Some don’t always require product demonstration space, private areas for discreet discussions, or large LCD screens to display the most recent marketing campaign. Other elements, however, are simply necessary to create an effective trade show exhibit or display. After 25 years in the industry, IGE has mastered both the essentials and amenities to meet or exceed your trade show aspirations.

A Turnkey Exhibit House

With artful precision and dedication, we oversee every step of the custom exhibit fabrication process and can troubleshoot issues as they arise. Our team can easily interface with others, ensuring the correct execution of the approved design. By manufacturing the designs we create with materials we trust by our own experienced craftsmen, we eliminate unnecessary middlemen and potential miscommunication than can happen when pieces of a project are passed around.

We fabricate everything using CNC Machining. First, data points of the final design are fed into the CNC computer from a CAM program. This determines and controls precise cutting movements to the exact specifications. A sophisticated feedback system constantly monitors and adjusts the cutter’s speed and position. Then our skilled artisans assemble the finished pieces to create the final structure. 

Our modern, custom exhibit designs utilize organic and geometric shapes that demand flexible materials. The wide variety of laminate products available are perfect to work with for shaping, cutting and finishing, from counter-tops to the floor. IGE is also experienced using other materials, such as wood, tension fabric, aluminum systems and digital media solutions. 

Ever-important graphics are also printed in-house using a state-of-the-art flatbed digital printer. Large-scale banners, panel imagery, brand messaging and more is done alongside all other production components. 

A signature of IGE exhibit design and trade show booth fabrication is the use of LED lighting. Having implemented its application since its inception, we understand its benefits and limitations. We know how to install and use which LED fixtures, lamps or diffusers, and how to build the design in such a way that ensures the placement of each will create the desired effects and lighting accents.

Top 50 Exhibit Fabricators in the U.S.

InterGlobal Exhibits has made the list of “Top 50 Exhibit Fabricators in the U.S.” twice (2013 and 2017). Presented by Event Marketer, the leading online magazine focused on the event and exhibition industry, the “Top 50” designation applauded our work in making custom trade show exhibits. This affirms the direction of our organization and assures our clients we can compete with the best in the industry.

One of our main goals here at IGE is to “WOW” you. We want to amplify and elevate your brand presence, while delivering on-time and within budget. Our passion is in creating custom trade show exhibits, from design, to fabrication, transport, installation and storage.  We hope you will trust us to create your next event exhibit- contact us today to explore your next project!

Generally speaking, if a business only plans to exhibit once or twice a year, a trade show booth rental makes more sense than the more expensive investment of purchasing. On average, renting a custom exhibit costs about one-third to one-half the cost of purchasing an exhibit, so how much the booth will be used is a huge factor.

Not in a position or no need to actually buy a custom exhibit? No problem! IGE Group can customize a trade show exhibit rental for your next event. Other design firms may offer plain, cookie-cutter rentals, but we treat trade show rentals just like a custom exhibit designed for purchase. We recognize that you have a goal to accomplish. Whether you’re looking to launch a new product, generate brand awareness or increase sales, there is no reason you should have a beautiful, branded booth to help achieve those goals.

Why Custom Trade Show Exhibit Rentals Make the Cut

Not sure why you might need a custom trade show booth rental? Here are some benefits:

• Greater flexibility – Some marketing plans require varied sizes and structure configurations at various trade shows throughout the year. If your business includes frequent product roll-outs or seasonal campaigns, it’s best to change your exhibit layout and lighting often to highlight these. Customizing a trade show booth rental allows numerous adjustments without the expense and logistics of taking full ownership of the exhibit.
• Simple logistics – A rental exhibit doesn’t need dedicated storage space that can incur costly fees. When the event is finished, the rental is packed up and returned to to our facility.
• Reduced expenses – If your business only attends a couple of trade shows a year, it probably doesn’t make sense to own a permanent booth. Renting avoids ongoing ownership expenses, including insurance premiums and recurring maintenance and refurbishment costs.
• Trial and error – Another rental perk is having the opportunity to test things out to see what works and what doesn’t. This offers valuable insight into what features are worth the investment if/when you finally decide to purchase a custom exhibit.
• A wider range of options – Because you will only be using the rental for a show or two, you can enjoy options you might not consider in an owned booth. Have fun experimenting with various graphics, fabric displays, modular configurations and more.
• Test out accessories – It’s not just the booth you can rent, but also the accessories. Test drive workstations, tables, shelves, banner stands, kiosks, touchscreens and more to see what accessories you may want to add to your custom booth one day.

Premium Quality, Affordable Price Tag

When working with IGE, you can expect your custom exhibit rental to receive the same attention to detail and quality as any other client. We are committed to making sure you to stand out at the event, attract a wider audience and grow your business. Our rental inventory includes unique options derived from our stock of custom exhibits. Clients are no longer limited to one-size-fits-all display rentals. We use versatile structural properties that can be configured to meet your needs, including the size and layout of your booth space and the visitor journey you hope to create. Choose from traditional materials such as wood or laminate, or opt for something edgy, like aluminum or tension fabric.

As you are introduced to the world of rental exhibits, you’ll be amazed at what can be done! Here are some of the ways that you can customize your temporary trade show booth:

• Choose colors that reflect the color scheme of your brand
• Include distinctive elements that provide your brand personality, such as lighting, flooring, branding, furniture and more
• Achieve appropriate messaging by using directly applied vinyl (cannot be reused) or removable graphic panels (can be reused)
• Incorporate the latest technology, such as LED lighting, quality sound systems, touchscreen panels, and so forth
• Support your advertising media with LCD screens, interactive elements, digital touch screens, large format signage and more

5-Star Service – Our Clients Deserve the Best!

You don’t have to own the exhibit for it to be successful. With the right partner and custom exhibit rental, you can impress your audience and meet your objectives while saving money. You can save even more by planning your campaigns a year in advance and ordering double-sided printing when it’s available. It costs less to have a banner printed with a different campaign on each side than printing two separate banners. The process of creating a custom rental is similar to building an exhibit of your own. We get to know you,  your audience, design the layout and build the structure using the materials we have. Choose to rent the structure for multiple events or just once. Many of our clients tweak the design after each show as they learn what works or doesn’t.

When you contract with IGE, you use what you need for each show, then send it back without another thought. No storage, no maintenance, and no capital investment. We’ll handle all the logistics for you. Contact IGE Group to begin customizing your trade show rental today!

Visual Communication

Trade show display graphics should be your highest priority when devising your presence at any event. Your logo, message and all supporting visuals should be clean, clear and visually appealing. Branding a trade show display effectively also depends on placing the right elements in the right places and using each in a way that is harmonious with the rest of the exhibit and messaging. Furthermore, the quality of your trade show booth visuals and materials they are printed on is important. Are you only using them once, or will they need to be stored or used elsewhere?  You need to ensure they can withstand typical wear and tear.

Options

You don’t have to build a new exhibit to take advantage of killer graphics. Many of our clients update their trade show display graphics to keep visuals fresh and inviting. This is far less expensive than having a new booth built, and it can accommodate a branding overhaul.  On a related note, we offer a word of caution here: updating your display graphics only works when you are happy with the rest of the structure. Pretty pictures will not change the overall look or efficiency of the actual booth.

Trade show booth technology is essential in our current electronic age.  Lights, sight and sound matter. Interactive trade show displays, digital engagement and immersive experiences are the new norm and even expected on some trade show circuits.  Given the expense of creating a custom booth, it’s important to ensure it includes trade show tech integrations and AV elements that increase its value.

Expertise

Through years of working in the exhibit industry, IGE has gained significant experience designing structures that accommodate even the most challenging digital demands. We partner with the most qualified Audio-Visual companies to ensure our displays incorporate the latest trade show technology and work together to elevate the brand experience. From simple interactive displays to sophisticated AV applications, we have the ability and expertise to deliver the digitally dynamic environment you envision for your trade show presence.

Consultation

Our extensive understanding of how best to integrate smart technology into an exhibit means we can create a design with the end result in mind. First, we will engage in thoughtful discussion to determine what products and solutions will achieve your desired result. Then we will advise you on what brands and technologies are reliable and which play well with others. Our valuable insight will get you up to speed on the latest innovations and trends so you can make informed decisions. Expect to have your questions answered and receive creative suggestions on how to incorporate technology into your booth. We will also let you know what to avoid or where to proceed with caution, which can save time, money and frustration.

Project Specifications

Our knowledge is imperative to accurately document what digital audio-visual integration products and services will be required for a proposed project. This is mandatory to avoid potential miscommunication or issues during the installation of your exhibit. Working together with architects and engineers, we will prepare the necessary contract paperwork and construction provisions. In short, our clear-cut specifications describe the type and quality of every product required for the project. These include functionality, installation and finishing while also addressing obligatory codes and standards.

Design & Engineering

Comprehensive, thoughtful system design and engineering in the beginning results in functional, reliable aesthetics in the end. This detail avoids costly mistakes, such as change orders, repetitive work or tearing up the display. Careful attention is given to the numerous details involved with smart technology and integrated systems. This ensures the tech is easy to use and delivers expected performance. Furthermore, this deliberate consideration allows for future expansion or upgrades to permanent structures. We plan in advance, from wiring infrastructure and hardware location, to control device placement, user interface design and power management. Blending machinery and electronic equipment with architectural elements and interiors is an art we have mastered.

Partnering with IGE provides you with the advantage of our expertise. Let us apply what we’ve learned to create a progressive, immersive, tech-savvy brand experience at your next event!

Presentation Partners

The retail display design executed in your store matters. How you present your product in a public environment can determine whether or not a consumer decides to purchase. Although aesthetics are important, there is also a methodology to these retail display designs. The amount of space and visitor flow both contribute to creating an experience in which someone feels confident and compelled to buy. These details must marry well with the presentation of the brand image and merchandise, all while enduring typical wear and tear.

IGE partners with expert craftsmen in the mill-work industry to design and produce beautiful, durable retail store displays. Our facilities include a warehouse, talented engineering and production teams, state-of-the-art equipment, and in-house CNC. This allows us the flexibility required to execute retail display projects with greater control and flawless precision. Our core retail display design capabilities include working with large format fabric graphics, lightweight substrates, dimensional signage and modular components. 

Experience

With over 20 years of retail display design experience, IGE has conceptualized and constructed retail store display fronts, product showcases, permanent brand installations and more. We also offer an extensive range of expertise to complete any sized project with relative ease and affordability.  Brand managers around the world trust IGE to design and create exceptional marketing environments that communicate their company and brand message. Our design excellence, expertise and resources ensures that the retail display design we produce captures the essence of your brand.

When you choose to work with IGE, we will conduct a deep dive into your brand and products to get a better sense of who you are. We need to know what sort of space you are working with, what your aspirations are and what sort of look and feel you want to achieve. Our retail display designers then collaborate to generate the most innovative solutions to your brand challenges. Our goal is to devise structures and systems that will entice an audience and make the competition stop in the aisles.
