Pop-Up Booths

Pop-Up booths are a great way to make a splash at your next trade show. They are great looking and easy to set up. You can also carry them into the venue, instead of paying to have them delivered from receiving to your booth area.
There are many different brands of pop-up booth, and we can make replacement panels for any of them. We find it best that you ship the booth to us so that we can be sure everything fits together perfectly.

You'll find our panels look great on your booth, at about half the price of panels from the booth manufacturer!
One strategy for those on a budget is to buy a used pop-up booth (you can find them on EBay and at used booth dealers) and have us make the new graphics. We also have a booth that we sell for $2500.

BIG Backlit!



Here's an interesting job we did recently for Armadillo Arts in Iowa City, Iowa. The customer wanted to put a display in a space that was a large window. We produced a large backlit graphic, and they built a box over the window to hold the graphic. Sunlight is all that is required to do the lighting, since the museum is open only during the day.


Pictured here is Will Thomson, who designed the exhibit.


The east window in the Grand Gallery as installed (image size 53" x 104") is an enlargement of a 1900 photo of a Meskwaki lodge at Tama, from the State Historical Society of Iowa. The Meskwaki left Des Moines County as a result of the Black Hawk Treaty in the 1830s.


In the same museum, we produced a backlit tabletop graphic, shown here viewed from above.
The interactive map unit is entitled "A topographic history of Des Moines County" and features a backlit map and several stations that show different aspects of county development: ghost towns, railroad and stage lines, early mills and factories, historic sites and natural areas.

Banner Hangers

Putting up your banner is often as much work as having it printed. Fortunately, we've been down this road before, and we can offer solutions.One of the best options we have found is our aluminum banner hanger, pictured below. It's light, sturdy, and attractive.

We also have banner hangers in plastic for those on a budget. Both flip open to accept the banner, and flip shut to hold it. Plastic plugs finish off the ends for a clean look, and clips slide into a channel on the top to accept a hook, or just about any other hanging method.
No matter what you want to hang, these banner hangers are easy to use, light weight, and portable. Give us your thoughts on how you might use these banner hangers!

Skiing, Vinyl Banners, and MeatHeads



We recently did a vinyl banner for a ski resort here in New Hampshire and their MeatHead Ski Weekend. Here are a few images that our designer, Bob took while he hit the slopes.







Check out the guy in the tree! Wow!









Here is the banner we designed for the event.



For winter banners, we use our "Across the Street" vinyl, which is good down to -20 degrees farenheit. Most vinyls will shatter at temperatures below -5 degrees, which we get fairly often in these parts. Like, last night! If you are using banners outside in the dead of winter, we have a material that will survive.

Bring Them In!


It's tough times out there in retail, but we can help. With today's technology, even the smallest store can create great looking signage that helps you move the merchandise.

You can create your signs in your favorite program, we support just about everything, including the Microsoft programs that come with most computers. There are great photos available for free or at very low cost online, do a search for "free stock photos" and you'll find them. Our favorite is dreamstime.com, which has millions of very good photos available for a few dollars each.
