For a long time, you had two frame options for trade show hanging signs (and none for backlit trade show hanging signs). The only backlit displays that have been offered in the past have been backwalls, towers, and counters. That’s changed now though. With some modifications and improvements, the tried and true SEG Frame System can now be used to make Backlit Trade Show Hanging Signs.
The average hanging sign for your typical trade show does not actually require the use of a truss system to suspend the sign above your booth. Smaller signs sized up to 20 or 30 feet only need the usage of standard cable rigging. By using the cable rigging, the sign is connected from the hanging sign itself to specific points on the convention center ceiling. The top of the hanging sign that connects in this way can also be called a bridle. However, when it comes to making as big of an impact as you can, you want your sign to, quite literally, tower above the competition.
Sometimes, the wide variety of templates just are not enough for some. Going full custom when it comes to your trade show display signage is the best way to showcase your specific style and helps accent your brand in a way that, on occasion, traditional display routes just can’t handle. Not so long ago, we worked to create such signage. A customer was looking to create as 12 foot wide by 4 foot high trade show hanging sign. While this could have been more than large enough to market his booth, there was more to his vision. This customer also wanted a smaller sign inside of the aforementioned sign.
Planning ahead for trade shows can turn into quite the ordeal if you are not already prepared and anticipating the bumps in the road. Numerous headaches and additional stressors can occur. The last thing you need as you are preparing for another exhibition is to have an issue with signage that you initially thought you would not even have to consider.
With the variation of hanging signs, the process of selecting which style, size, and even material can often seem like a daunting task. With most geometric shapes at your fingertips, how can one truly govern which trade show hanging sign is right for their specific exhibition booth? Two key components to remember when addressing this question relate to the location of your booth as well as how large the square footage of your booth is.
