40 ft Trade Show Displays

40ft Trade Show Displays & Large-Format Island Exhibits

At 40 feet, you're not just buying a display, you're building an environment. A 40ft trade show display commands attention across an entire exhibit hall and gives you enough space to create dedicated zones for product demos, client meetings, brand storytelling, and staff operations, all within a single cohesive exhibit.Capital Exhibits carries large-format modular island systems at this scale, built for brands that exhibit seriously and need a display that performs across multiple shows.

If you're evaluating slightly smaller island booths, explore our 30ft trade show displays or 20x20 trade show displays for more flexible large-format options.

The Modco 27, 40x20 Island System

The Modco 27 is a 40x20 modular island exhibit system designed for brands that need a large, configurable floor presence without the rigidity of a fully custom build.

Key features of the Modco 27:

• Modular construction: components reconfigure between shows, giving you layout flexibility without starting from scratch each time.
• Custom graphic package included: full custom printing on all graphic surfaces, submitted and produced as part of the complete package.
• Hardware only option available: if you handle your own graphics or work with a designer, order hardware only and supply your own print files.
• Scalable: the Modco system is designed to scale down for smaller shows, protecting your investment across events of different sizes.

What to Know Before You Order a 40ft Exhibit

This requires a conversation first: A 40ft island system involves freight planning, show drayage, installation logistics, and potentially union labor requirements depending on your venue. Call us at 703-489-0791 before placing your order. our team will make sure everything is accounted for before your display ships.

Installation planning: Large modular island systems typically require a crew of three or more and four to eight hours of setup time. Some venues require union labor for island exhibits at this scale. Always check your show's exhibitor manual well in advance.

Shipping and drayage: The Modco 27 ships in multiple freight cases. Factor show drayage costs into your total budget, these are charged by the show venue and vary by event.

Graphics. At 40 feet, artwork quality is critical. Submit all files in CMYK at 150 DPI or higher at final print size. Our team reviews every file before it goes to press and will flag any issues before production begins.

Scalability. The Modco modular system is built to reconfigure for smaller footprints, useful if you attend shows of different sizes throughout the year. Ask our team which configurations the Modco 27 supports at smaller footprints.

To maximize visibility across a large island booth, many exhibitors add cube hanging trade show banners for overhead branding visible from across the show floor.
