Portable Trade Show Displays

Portable trade show displays are built to travel: lightweight frames, fabric graphics and carry bags or cases, so one person can bring the booth to the show and set it up without tools. Capital Exhibits offers tension fabric tube displays, fabric pop up displays, modular EZ Tube Connect kits and tabletop displays, all with custom printed graphics at wholesale prices.

Which portable display fits your booth?

• Tension fabric tube displays use aluminum tubes that slide or snap together, with a stretch fabric graphic that zips over the frame. Popular for 10x10 and 10x20 backwalls. Example: the 10ft Tension Fabric Tube Display.
• Fabric pop up displays use a collapsible frame that expands in one piece, with the graphic attached to the frame. A fast option for straight or curved backwalls.
• EZ Tube Connect and EZ Extend units are modular towers, circles and frames you can combine to shape a booth or extend a backwall.
• Tabletop displays sit on a 6ft or 8ft table for career fairs, conferences and small events.

How to choose

1. Measure your space. Match the display width to your booth: 8ft or 10ft for a 10x10, 20ft for a 10x20.
2. Decide how you travel. If you check the display as airline baggage or carry it alone, compare the packed size and weight listed on each product page.
3. Choose single- or double-sided. Double-sided graphics cover the back of the frame, which matters for open or island spaces.
4. Plan your graphics. Every order includes a free graphic review. See the artwork setup guide for templates and file requirements.

Portable trade show display FAQ

What is the most portable trade show display?

Tension fabric tube displays and tabletop displays are usually the lightest options, because the frame breaks down into short aluminum tubes and the graphic is fabric. Check each product page for its packed size and weight.

Can one person set up a portable display?

Most displays in this collection are designed for tool-free setup by one or two people. Each product page lists what is included and how it assembles.

Do portable displays come with graphics?

Graphic Package options include the frame and your custom printed graphic. Some products also offer the graphic or the hardware alone, for replacing one part.
