Custom Booth Fabrication for Every Exhibit Size

We fabricate components for compact inline exhibits, larger peninsula and island booths, and custom double deck exhibit structures. Booth size, open sides, height, structural requirements and reuse goals shape the production approach.

Our Custom Booth Fabrication Process

Eight connected stages, with production milestones, component labeling and installation handoff planned around your approved scope.

01

Design Review & Engineering

Review approved drawings, dimensions and connections; identify engineering or venue approvals and agree on production milestones and decision dates.

02

Material Selection

Confirm materials, finishes and hardware against budget, durability and reuse goals. Consider component sizes, replaceable graphics and packing needs.

03

Fabrication & Manufacturing

Manufacture specified components through woodworking, metal fabrication, CNC machining and assembly, using the approved production information.

04

Graphic Production & Integration

Produce agreed graphics after artwork and proofs are approved, and coordinate panel fit, SEG fabric, lightboxes and specified lighting or AV provisions.

05

Quality Inspection

Review relevant dimensions, finishes, joints, graphic alignment and hardware. Record outstanding adjustments against the approved specifications.

06

Pre-Show Dry Assembly

Dry-fit or assemble the agreed sections to check connections, access and fit. Confirm the test extent and any physical or remote review before packing.

07

Packaging & Logistics Preparation

Protect and label components, prepare the packing list and inventory, and organize hardware and crates around the intended installation sequence.

08

Delivery & Installation Support

Hand off component labels, assembly information and outstanding requirements to the agreed freight and installation plan. Confirm responsibilities and separately ordered show services.

What Determines the Right Fabrication Approach?

Material & Finish

Balance brand appearance with durability, cleaning, edge protection and how visible surfaces will perform during transport and repeated use.

Structural Complexity

Curves, cantilevers, unusual geometry and overhead features can change engineering, fabrication methods, connection details and approval needs.

Weight & Freight

Heavier is not always better. Component weight and packed dimensions affect handling, crate planning, exhibit freight planning and event material-handling costs.

Installation Labor

Component sizes, labeling, repeatable connections and access to hardware influence installation sequence and on-site labor.

Reuse Plan

A one-show feature and a multi-event exhibit may call for different materials, modular connections, replaceable graphics and storage protection.

Budget & Schedule

Material availability, procurement, finish processes, graphic approval and technical decisions must fit the production schedule and agreed budget.

Pre-Show Assembly Checks in Las Vegas

These production photographs show dry-fitting and component review. The agreed check may cover connections, graphic alignment, finishes, hardware and lighting or AV provisions. Confirm the test extent and any physical or remote review during planning; outstanding adjustments are recorded before packing.

Custom Booth Fabrication FAQs

How long does custom booth fabrication take?

The schedule depends on approved drawings, booth size, materials, finishes, procurement, artwork readiness and the pre-build scope. Share your move-in date and approval deadline so production milestones can be reviewed. We confirm the schedule after assessing the requirements; there is no single lead time for every booth.

Can you fabricate from another designer's drawings?

Yes. Send the approved concept, dimensioned drawings, material specifications and relevant show requirements for review. We assess buildability, connections, component sizes and missing details before confirming scope. A rendering alone may not contain enough production information; technical development or engineering may be required.

What materials do you use?

Depending on the approved specification, fabrication can combine wood-based panels and millwork, metal frames, laminates, painted finishes, printed rigid or fabric graphics, SEG systems and integrated lighting. We review appearance, durability, weight, installation access and reuse needs before confirming materials.

Do you pre-build booths before shipping?

Pre-show assembly or dry-fitting is planned around the exhibit and agreed scope. Checks may cover component fit, graphics alignment, finishes, hardware and lighting or AV provisions. Confirm which sections will be assembled and tested, and any in-person or remote review. A full test build is not assumed for every project.

Can fabricated components be reused?

Yes, when reuse is planned into the fabrication approach. Share future show dates and booth footprints so component sizes, durable finishes, replaceable graphics, connection methods, packing and storage can be considered. Suitability still depends on component condition and each event's layout and requirements.

Do you handle transportation and installation?

Exhibitsmax can coordinate packing, transportation, installation and dismantling under the agreed project scope. The proposal identifies included work and the handoff to carriers and show-site teams. Material handling, electrical, rigging, designated trades and other venue services may require separate orders and charges.
