Where Can I Buy Trade Show Display Hardware and Graphics Separately?
If you already own a trade show display frame, banner stand, backwall, or exhibit system, you may not need to purchase an entirely new display every time you want to update your branding. Trade show display hardware and graphics can often be purchased separately, making it easier and more affordable to refresh your booth for new products, promotions, events, or branding campaigns.
At Capital Exhibits, we offer a variety of trade show display hardware and custom graphics separately, allowing businesses to replace only the component they need.
Why Buy Trade Show Hardware and Graphics Separately?
Purchasing hardware and graphics separately can save money and extend the life of your trade show display.
For example, if your existing frame is still in excellent condition but your company has updated its logo or branding, there is no reason to purchase an entirely new display. You can simply order a replacement graphic designed to fit your existing hardware.
Likewise, if your graphic is still usable but your display hardware has become damaged or you want to upgrade your booth configuration, you can purchase new hardware separately.
This approach is especially useful for businesses that attend multiple trade shows throughout the year.
Where Can I Buy Trade Show Display Hardware?
There are many types of trade show display hardware available separately, depending on your booth configuration and application.
Some popular options include:
- Retractable banner stand hardware
- Roll-up banner stands
- X banner stand hardware
- Fabric display frames
- Pop-up display frames
- Backdrop hardware
- SEG fabric display frames
- Lightbox display frames
- Hanging banner hardware
- Trade show counter hardware
- Modular exhibit systems
- Tabletop display hardware
- Outdoor banner stand hardware
If you already have your graphics, purchasing replacement or additional hardware can allow you to create different booth configurations without starting from scratch.
Where Can I Buy Trade Show Graphics Separately?
Custom trade show graphics are available for many different types of display systems. Depending on your hardware, you may be able to order:
- Retractable banner graphics
- Fabric backwall graphics
- SEG graphics
- Pop-up display graphics
- Step-and-repeat graphics
- Hanging banner graphics
- Table throw graphics
- Backlit fabric graphics
- X banner graphics
- Outdoor banner graphics
- Replacement exhibit graphics
When ordering graphics separately, the most important consideration is compatibility. The graphic must be produced to the correct dimensions and finishing specifications for your existing hardware.
Can I Replace Only the Graphic on My Existing Display?
In many cases, yes.
For example, a business may have a retractable banner stand that is several years old but still works perfectly. Instead of purchasing a new banner stand, the company can order a replacement printed banner.
The same concept applies to fabric displays, pop-up displays, SEG frames, and other exhibit systems.
Before ordering, provide the manufacturer, model, dimensions, or photos of your existing hardware. This can help ensure that the replacement graphic is manufactured correctly.
What Information Do I Need to Order a Replacement Graphic?
If you want to purchase a graphic separately, it is helpful to have:
- The display manufacturer's name
- The display model or product name
- The graphic dimensions
- A photo of your existing hardware
- The type of graphic material, if known
- The required finishing, such as silicone edging, pole pockets, hook-and-loop, or other attachments
If you're unsure about the specifications, a display company may be able to help identify the correct graphic based on photographs and measurements.
What About Buying Trade Show Hardware Without Graphics?
You can also purchase display hardware without printed graphics if you already have your artwork or plan to have graphics produced separately.
This can be particularly useful for businesses that:
- Reuse the same hardware for multiple events
- Have an in-house graphic designer
- Work with a separate printing company
- Need replacement hardware
- Want to keep extra hardware available
- Frequently change their booth graphics
Buying hardware separately can also make it easier to build a customized trade show display based on your budget and event requirements.
Don't Forget to Check the Graphic Size
One of the biggest mistakes when ordering trade show graphics separately is assuming that a standard size will fit every display.
For example, two 10-foot fabric displays may look similar but use different frame dimensions or graphic attachment systems. A replacement graphic that is even slightly different in size may not install correctly.
Always verify the exact hardware and graphic specifications before placing your order.
Capital Exhibits: Trade Show Hardware and Graphics
At Capital Exhibits, we help businesses purchase trade show display hardware, custom graphics, and replacement graphics separately.
Whether you need a new retractable banner stand without a graphic, a replacement banner for an existing stand, custom fabric graphics for a backwall, or hardware for a complete trade show display, purchasing individual components can be a cost-effective way to maintain and update your exhibit.
Our team can also help determine what type of graphic you need based on your existing display hardware.
Build Your Trade Show Display Your Way
You don't always have to purchase a complete trade show display package. Buying hardware and graphics separately gives you more flexibility, helps reduce replacement costs, and allows you to update your branding without replacing equipment that you already own.
