Modular Displays

What Are Modular Display Units?

Unlike fabric pop up displays or panel-based backdrops, modular displays are built from an engineered frame system (often aluminum extrusion) combined with fabricated panels, counters, and lighting, shipped in reusable travel crates. Because the components are modular by design, the same core system can be reconfigured into a different booth footprint for your next show — a real advantage over displays that are locked into one fixed size and shape.

Key Benefits

• Scalable footprint as the same component family covers 10x10 up to 20x30 booth spaces
• Reconfigurable for future shows, rather than a single fixed-use structure
• Integrated lighting and counters built into the package, not purchased separately
• Durable travel crates designed for repeated freight shipping
• Custom design service available to tailor layout and graphics to your brand
  
  

Features & Customization

Modular exhibit displays are organized by booth footprint i.e. 10x10, 10x15, 10x20, 10x30, 20x20, 20x30, and 30x20, with multiple design variations available within each footprint so you can choose a layout that fits your budget and visual goals. 

A typical 10x10 package, for example, includes an engineered structural crate, two integrated LED lights, and a counter, all built for an inline booth layout. Larger footprints scale up with additional structural elements, more lighting, and expanded counter or shelving options.

Custom graphics are produced to match your engineered structure's exact panel dimensions, and our design team can be brought in to help lay out branding across a larger, multi-panel structure, which requires more planning than a single backdrop graphic. Production for these systems runs longer than simpler displays (typically 10-15 working days from proof approval), reflecting the more involved fabrication process.

Applications

Modular trade show booth displays are the right fit for:

• 10x20 and larger inline or island booths needing a substantial branded presence
• Businesses that attend the same major shows annually and want a reconfigurable, reusable investment
• Exhibitors who need integrated lighting and counter space built into the structure itself
• Companies scaling up from a portable pop up display to a more permanent exhibit program
  
  

Choosing the Right Custom Modular Portable Display

Start by measuring your actual booth footprint. H-Line systems are organized by exact size (10x10, 10x20, 20x20, etc.), so this narrows your options immediately. Within a given footprint, the different design series vary primarily in structural complexity, lighting, and included furniture, which is reflected in the price range (a 10x10 configuration can run anywhere from roughly $7,850 to $14,300 depending on the design). If this is a recurring investment for shows you'll attend multiple times a year, prioritize designs with more reconfigurable components so the system can adapt to different footprints down the line.

Because these are larger, more complex structures, plan for a longer production window than a standard pop up display, and budget time for design review given the increased number of graphic panels involved.

Why Choose Exhibits Solution

Our modular display systems come with access to our in-house design team for graphic layout across complex, multi-panel structures, plus the same responsive customer service and on-time delivery commitment we apply to every order. If a full modular system is more than your current show calendar needs, our Smart-Fit multi-panel displays offer many of the same integrated features like TV stands, literature racks, and lighting, at a more portable scale, or explore our trade show booth packages for a bundled alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a modular display and a pop up display?

Modular displays are engineered, reconfigurable structures built for larger booth footprints, while pop up displays are simpler, faster-assembling backdrops for smaller spaces.

What booth sizes do modular displays cover?

This collection covers footprints from 10x10 up to 20x30, including 10x15, 10x20, 10x30, 20x20, and 30x20 configurations.

Can a modular display be reconfigured for different shows?

Yes, because the components are modular, many systems can be rearranged into different booth footprints for future events.

How much does a modular display cost?

Pricing varies significantly by footprint and design complexity — a 10x10 configuration typically starts around $7,850, with larger footprints and more elaborate designs running well into the tens of thousands.

Does a modular display include lighting?

Yes, most packages include integrated LED lighting as part of the structure, not as a separate purchase.

How long does production take for a modular display?

Production typically takes 10-15 working days from proof approval, reflecting the more complex fabrication involved.

Do modular displays include storage or shipping cases?

Yes, these systems ship in durable, reusable travel crates designed for repeated freight shipping between shows

Can Exhibits Solution help design the graphics for a modular exhibit?

Yes, our in-house design team helps plan and lay out branding across the larger panel structure.

Is a modular display a good investment for a company that only does one show a year?

It depends on budget and goals modular systems are best suited to companies attending multiple shows or planning to reuse and reconfigure the structure over time.

What's included in a typical 10x10 modular display package?

A standard 10x10 package typically includes the structural crate, integrated LED lighting, and a counter, with variations by design series.
