How much do your exhibits weigh?
On average our 10' units weigh 95 lbs. fully packed and can ship on any airline. Some airlines charge a $40-80 fee due to 50-70 lb. limits.
Which display is best for me, a floor model or table top?
Most people find floor displays the most effective, and they feel they get the most impact for the investment. The floor models usually create larger, more attractive, eye-catching displays than the tabletops. Additionally, you avoid the renting or search for tables to use. The 10' pop-up is probably the most popular display in the industry.
What warranty comes with your trade show displays?
ShowStopper Exhibits offers a limited lifetime warranty on the frame of every trade show display we sell. This means for as long as you own the display if the frame is ever damaged or ruined we will repair or replace the frame at no charge.
Note: If you ever sell or give away your display the warranty does not follow the display to the second owner.
