What are Modular Trade Show Displays?
We build custom modular booths — exhibits made from a system of reusable, interchangeable components (frames, panels, counters, and graphics) that can be reconfigured into different layouts rather than rebuilt from scratch for every show. This system is engineered to drive efficiency from our modular components while delivering the creativity and uniqueness of fully custom parts. These booths scale to fit any footprint, using the same core components reconfigured for each size – from compact 10×10 inline displays to large 30×30 island exhibits. Our design team is trained to create beautiful, hybrid custom-modular booths that make a real impact on the show floor without breaking the bank

Benefits of Modular Trade Show Displays
Modular trade show booths have several advantages compared to custom built booths. As these displays are built for reconstruction, they give increased flexibility and ease of transport.
- Reconfigurable to any booth size — from 10×10 inline to 30×30 island — using the same core components
- Lower long-term costs, since reusable parts eliminate rebuilding a new booth for every show
- Faster setup and teardown, thanks to components engineered for quick reassembly rather than custom construction each time
- Efficient shipping and installs, with modular pieces that pack and travel smarter than a one-piece custom build
- Support for large backlit graphics, giving you the same high-impact visual presence as a custom booth
- Full range of customization options, letting you mix, match, and refresh graphics, panels, and accessories as your brand evolves
What to Expect When Creating Your Custom Modular Display with Exponents
Award-Winning Trade Show Displays
Exponents specializes in building custom modular displays, from smaller 10′ x 10′ inline displays to larger island exhibits.
Our modular trade show display models, including custom trade show accessories and high-quality graphics, are cost-effective solutions — and they look great!
Modular exhibits are best suited for exhibitors exhibiting in multiple shows with different layouts – such as moving from a 20×20 booth at one show, to a 10×10 or 20×30 exhibit at the next.
By using the same exhibit components in multiple configurations, you can save substantially on your trade show marketing budget.
Customized Exhibiting Solutions
While modular trade show displays can be selected from a range of catalog designs, we can even custom-make it for you. So the convenience of a modular trade show display does come at the cost of personalization.
We can help you showcase your brand in the most spectacular way with practical displays that wear your brand story. Our team of specialists will use our foreknowledge of the show to create a differentiated booth that leaves a lasting impression on every onlooker. And since it is all modular you can change the structure a few shows down the line to suit your changing brand needs.
Rental and Purchase Options
If you are not looking at a long horizon, you can rent our modular trade show displays at fraction of the cost. We can assist you with the structure along with necessary accessories and peripherals like shelves and screens so you don’t have to go to multiple vendors. There is no better way to save! If you are unsure, let our experts guide you through the decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a modular display be reconfigured for different booth sizes (10x10, 20x20, 20x30, etc.)?
Yes. Our modular designs are built to expand and contract, so the same core components can scale from a 10×10 inline booth up to a 20×30 island (or anywhere in between). Rather than starting from scratch for every show, you can reuse and reconfigure elements as your footprint needs change, keeping your brand consistent while adapting to each venue’s space.
Is renting or buying a modular display more cost-effective?
It depends on how often you exhibit. If you’re attending one or two shows a year, renting typically costs less upfront and comes with zero storage, maintenance, or refurbishment costs between events. If you’re exhibiting frequently or need a dedicated look for a flagship show, buying can pay off over time. However, it also means covering storage, transport, and upkeep yourself. Either way, Exponents’ fixed, all-inclusive pricing means you’ll know the full cost before you commit, with no post-show surprises.
What's included in a modular display rental (structure, graphics, accessories)?
Every rental includes the booth structure, custom graphics, and standard accessories such as counters, shelving, and lighting, all under one fixed, all-inclusive price. Design, shipping, installation, and dismantle are built in too, so there’s nothing extra to plan for once the quote is signed.
How long does it take to design and produce a modular display?
Timelines vary based on booth size, customization, and show date, but every project starts with a discovery call to define your goals. From there, you’ll typically have a 3D design proposal and fixed-price quote in hand within 3-4 business days. Once your design is approved, graphics production and fabrication move forward in parallel to keep the schedule on track. Your booth is fully assembled and tested at our warehouse before it ever ships, so nothing is left to chance on show day.
Do you provide setup and dismantle services at the show?
Yes, setup and dismantle are included in every rental. Our crew installs your booth to spec before the show and handles complete teardown and pack-out afterward, so there’s nothing left for your team to manage on either end.
What's the typical rental period for a modular display?
Most rentals are structured around a single show. Your booth is designed, built, shipped, installed, and dismantled specifically for that event, then returned to our facility once it’s over. If you exhibit at multiple shows a year, we also offer flexible, multi-show rental agreements so you’re not starting from scratch (or paying full price) each time.
What support does Exponents provide for modular booth rentals?
Every modular booth rental includes:
● A dedicated project manager as your single point of contact, start to finish
● A 3D design proposal and in-house graphics production
● A full pre-show trial build
● On-site installation and dismantle handled by our own crew
● One fixed, all-inclusive price with no post-show surprises
