Exhibits and Large Scale Graphics are what we do!  On this page I will be highlighting systems.  There is more to exhibits and displays than the initial view.  We will look at set up, shipping, versatility, storage and message.

Perfect 20 

The Perfect 10 (and Perfect 20) Portable Hybrid Trade Show Display

combines lightweight aluminum extrusion and vibrant tension fabric graphics for an upscale, cost-effective trade show display. Its unique patent-pending "S" shape ensures that the Perfect 10 is much more than a pretty face. Every Perfect 10 is easy-to-assemble (attached knobs), packs in portable roto-molded cases, and includes options such as headers, counters, workstations, and monitor mounts.

My opinion-  I like the system!  It is easy to put together and is very convertable.  Graphics are fabric with velcro and can be changed out in 10 minutes.  Pack a few versions for the show and hit your new products like a pro.  I think it looks clean and new without all the flippercannery.  Useless stuff that looks a little cool but just takes up time getting it up and down.

Packaging-  The 10x20 system is in 5 clam shell cases.  They will be stacked on a pallet and shrink wrapped.  I think I like the tub better but if you only want to use 10 of the display this is the way to go.  This system is also packed incrediable well.  One of the best I have seen.  Well labeled and everything has a nice foam slot fitting. 

Directions- are really nice too.   They come in a hard copy book and digital also.  so you can keep a back up.  Ahhhh Technology.

Overall review-  a real keeper.  a Trade show exhibit that can change and grow with you.

Salesmate

The Salesmate is great for high impact in a fast and lightweight fashion. If you manage reps at your company then this system would be a stunner and practical too. The graphics can be easily changed out for different products. The graphics are dye sublimation so if they get dirty- wash them, yes, wash them. It is that easy. Costs range from $550 and up

Echo by ABEX

INCREDIBLY STRONG, YET ELEGANT. FUNCTIONAL, YET REFINED. http://www.echodisplay.com

The heart of the new Echo for Abex is an incredibly strong double-beam OctanormTM 2 3/8 in. square aluminum frame that reduces weight, allows graphic layering, AV options and provides structural integrity.

Echo dispels the myth that you can't take it with you. Echo's rigid aluminum frame can easily support up to a 32" monitor, yet a ten-foot Echo system with two counters and AIRTUB weighs in at less than 1200 pounds for reduced transportation and drayage costs.

The Echo AIRTUB is the world's most advanced exhibit packing system. The result of years of industrial research and design, the Echo AIRTUB weighs hundreds of pounds less than conventional wood crates while offering superior component protection in transit as well as reduced drayage and shipping costs. Numbered components and packing location facilitates parts location to reduce set-up time.

The Abex Colorwave LED System offers an economical LED color change system that comes with 10 pre-set color changing programs, as well as an infrared remote that allows you to change your lighting program on the fly while on the show floor.

 

 

-MY REVIEW- 

Cost-  10 foot exhibit is 12-15k

Set Up-  Can you work an allen wrench?  Most of the extrusion systems are pretty easy to set up but it will be easier with two people.  The graphics are super easy to add or change.  Feel free to change during the show to add spice.

Shipping-  Very nice molded shipping tub.  Abex has one of the best shipping tubs on the market.  Jigged out great and the pieces are always easy to organize by their labeling.  Tub has wheels for moving and they can be damaged just like all the rest. They are easy to replace.  tubs are usually 5' square and are great to stack.   Other cases available.

Outlook-  System is custom designed by a real live cool designer-Armen Gharabegian , ethos design  http://www.ethosdesign.net/web.html   THese types of display layouts remind me of the Web.  windows popping up and all.   This design is the best of the bunch.  The extrusion is Octanorm- also the best of the extrusions.  You won't get stuck at a show with a broken tension lock.  Both Abex and Octanorm have a long history of good solid production and you can't beat thier shipping tubs.
Allow extra time for ordering and delivery.  The production schedule normal but thier is no rushing abex.  Well for a rush charge you can, I guess, but they don't like it.  They have a good system in place and they do not like to deviate in the time allowed.  
Over all-  I really like this sytem.  It has all the right moves and it is easy to change out the graphics.  Great for 10' or larger.  

 

Information of system is from manufacturer website and not written or verified by this writer.  The opinion is all me!
