Crowd Control

Crowd Control Barriers for Trade Shows, Events and Public Venues

Unbranded rope barriers and plain stanchions manage crowds. Crowd control barriers with custom printed graphics manage crowds and market your brand at the same time. Every attendee who passes through a line, queue, or restricted area becomes an impression for your business.

At Capital Exhibits, we carry the full EZ Barrier range in indoor and outdoor configurations, small and large sizes, single and double-sided graphic options, and white or black back fabric choices to match any event environment.

Crowd control barriers are often used alongside custom outdoor banners and outdoor signs to create a fully branded event environment that guides and informs attendees.

EZ Barrier Configurations We Carry

• EZ Barrier Large Indoor Single-Sided with White Back Fabric: A large format indoor crowd control barrier with a custom printed single-sided graphic and white back fabric. Best suited for indoor trade show floors, conference venues, and event spaces where the back of the barrier faces a wall or is not visible to attendees.
• EZ Barrier Large Indoor Double-Sided: The same large format indoor barrier with custom printed graphics on both sides. The right choice when your barrier is positioned in an open space where attendees approach from both directions.
• EZ Barrier Large Outdoor Single-Sided with Black Back Fabric: A large format outdoor barrier with a single-sided graphic and black back fabric designed for outdoor event environments. The black back fabric provides a clean, finished look on the reverse side without a printed graphic.
• EZ Barrier Large Outdoor Single-Sided with White Back Fabric The same large format outdoor barrier with white back fabric on the reverse side. A good choice for outdoor events where the back of the barrier is visible and a lighter finish is preferred.
• EZ Barrier Large Outdoor Double-Sided: A large format outdoor barrier with custom printed graphics on both sides. Best used when the barrier is freestanding in an open outdoor space with foot traffic approaching from multiple directions.
• EZ Barrier Small Outdoor Single-Sided with Black Back Fabric: A smaller format outdoor barrier for events where a full large barrier is more than the space requires. Single-sided with black back fabric for a clean reverse finish.
• EZ Barrier Small Outdoor Single-Sided with White Back Fabric: The same small outdoor barrier with white back fabric on the reverse side.
• EZ Barrier Small Outdoor Double-Sided: A small format outdoor barrier with custom printed graphics on both sides for maximum brand visibility in tighter outdoor spaces.

For indoor events and exhibitions, barriers are often paired with step and repeat banners to create branded entry points and photo-ready queue areas.

What to Know Before You Buy

Indoor vs. outdoor: Indoor EZ Barriers are designed for controlled venue environments. Outdoor configurations are built with materials suited to wind and weather exposure. Always choose the outdoor version for any open-air event regardless of expected conditions.

Single-sided vs. double-sided: If your barrier backs up to a wall or another barrier, single-sided is all you need. If your barrier is freestanding in an open space with attendees approaching from both directions, double-sided gives you graphic coverage on both faces.

Back fabric color: Single-sided barriers include a back fabric in white or black. Black back fabric gives a cleaner, more finished look when the reverse side is visible. White back fabric works well in brighter environments where a lighter finish is preferred.

Graphic design for barriers: Barrier graphics need to be simple and legible from a distance. Your brand name, logo, and a single key message work best. Avoid small text or complex imagery that loses impact at the sizes and viewing distances typical of crowd control applications. Submit files in CMYK at 150 DPI or higher.

If you're organizing a full booth or activation space, consider combining barriers with trade show table covers to maintain consistent branding across all touchpoints.
