Trade Show Printing FAQ

Focus on key elements like banners (retractable or hanging), backdrops, table covers, and handouts (brochures, flyers, and business cards). High-quality, impactful displays like pop-up booths and fabric tension backdrops are great for making a strong visual statement

Always use high-resolution images and graphics (300 DPI or higher) to prevent pixelation. For large-format printing like banners, make sure your files are scaled correctly. Work with a designer familiar with print production, and always request a proof before final printing.

Retractable banners are versatile and easy to set up, while tension fabric backdrops provide a sleek, professional look. Pop-up displays offer quick assembly with large, eye-catching graphics. The best choice depends on your booth size, the visibility you need, and your budget.

Use the same colors, fonts, and logos on every printed item. Ensure your printer has your exact color codes (like CMYK or Pantone) for consistent color matching. You can also request printed samples to confirm colors and quality before producing in bulk.

Ideally, start planning your order 4-6 weeks before your event. This allows time for design, proofing, printing, and shipping. Rushed orders may incur additional costs, and you want to avoid last-minute stress.

Matte finishes are popular for items like brochures and business cards as they reduce glare and are easier to read. Gloss finishes work well for vibrant, colorful images, making them stand out. UV coating is a great option if you need extra durability for materials that will be handled often.

Yes! Invest in durable, modular displays like fabric backdrops and high-quality banners that can be easily stored and transported. Opt for designs that are versatile enough to fit different booth sizes, and consider creating interchangeable graphic panels to update your message without reordering an entire display.
