Staff working trade show booths have many tasks and responsibilities they need to concern themselves with, without having to set up and break down the portable trade show booths and displays before and after each event. However, setting up and breaking down the trade show booths will probably be one of their tasks, so portable trade show components should be made lightweight and with ease of assembly and disassembly in mind. Also, setting up and breaking down trade show booths can be time consuming and, if additional staff are needed to perform those tasks, it means additional expense to the company.

As the name implies, portable trade show booths need to be quick and easy to set up and transport. Most portable trade show booths and displays have lightweight skeletal frames with laminate panels that attach to them with clips. Minimal or no tools are required for assembly and disassembly so these factors make it easy for the booth staff to set up, disassemble and transport the portable trade show components without the need for additional staff. In most cases, two people can easily set up an entire large trade show booth and related displays in less than an hour. When the system is disassembled, all of the components can be easily loaded in a van or pickup truck for easy transport.

Portable trade show display systems can be assembled together in different configurations that can include counters, alcoves, bridges and more. Most components can be assembled in a variety of ways to create a custom display based on the client's needs. Also, eye-catching accessories such as banners and pop up displays, can be set up in mere seconds and add great finishing touches to the overall look of the trade show booth.

Trade show booth flooring is also something that can be added to make the overall display more aesthetically pleasing. It may also be a necessity in some cases, such as outdoor displays, or when the trade show booth is set up on a floor that is unsuitable to demonstrate or display the product. Flooring such as SnapLock comes in lightweight panels that are fitted together using a male-female locking system. No tools or special skills are required to assemble the flooring and it can be assembled over virtually any floor or ground surface the trade show booth is set up on.

The cost of portable trade show booths and displays varies greatly, depending on size and features. Some portable trade show booths can seem quite expensive, but when you consider that additional staff will not have to be hired to set up the trade show booths, it will save money in the long run. Booth staff can easily assemble, disassemble and transport the entire systems without the need for additional set-up staff.
