Folding Panel DisplaysFolding Panel Displays are the tried and true system for simple elegant trade show exhibit presentations. Folding panel displays provide a middle ground between the large custom fabricated exhibit and the lightweight popup exhibit. Most folding panel displays are made of the same materials. By using high density corrugated sandwiched between a moisture barrier and providing a hinge system, folding panel displays create about the simplest exhibit solution known. Folding panel displays were an outgrowth of the custom exhibit builders who found that they frequently were building similar sized panels for all of their custom display sales. By simply hinging these panels together and waiting to cover them until an order specified a substrate, folding panel displays were born. Exhibit builders decided to pre-build these similar sized panels during the slack times so that when the busy time came they could output more custom exhibits because the surfaces were pre-built. The result was more and more pre-built surfaces of varying sizes were being built and a whole new marketing solution was created. By simply hinging these surfaces together and waiting to cover them until an order specified a substrate, folding panel displays were born. Folding panel displays usually seems to work better for the product oriented display because of its capability to be load bearing for shelves and counter tops. It also has the capability to better implement the use of alcove counters built in to the back wall and backlit headers, light boxes and the capability of being reversible. Because the exhibits are folding panel displays with velcro compatible material on both sides different colors can be selected for the back and the exhibits reversed to give you a different look with the same investment at next year's show. The disadvantage of a folding panel display is that it is usually packed in larger shipping containers, is heavier and is not as easily used for large format photomural type graphics. Because of its weight it may be harder for smaller individuals to set up because of the weight and the fact that the top section must be lifted up and set in alignment pins on the bottom section. Of all the panel displays available to the consumer our panel system has proven over the years to be the easiest to use and most cost effective solution for the consumer who needs a folding panel unit. Some suggestions to keep in mind regard these systems. UPS has dictated the surface sizes in most cases. Because of UPS shipping size restrictions most of these individual surfaces are not much wider than 25" and not much longer than 45". Because of this and the fact that in order for the booth to remain stable when set up it need a base about 1/3 the width of the height, it is hard to build a 10x10 foot show space with smooth uninterrupted surfaces for large format graphics. It is suggested that if large format graphics are your goal that you consider a popup exhibit rather than this type of system. Freight charges for these types of systems are going to be greater than the lightweight popup units or products such as the Big Fabric Graphic System. Generally UPS ground charges are in the range of $45 - $125 depending on the amount of accessories in each case which affects the weight, and the distance to which you would be shipping the products. We also recommend that in the case where you need to ship other products to your show that you use other shipping cases and trade show cases so as not to damage the trade show display panels. In most cases unlike the popup exhibit units which can be hand carried into a show, show restrictions are going to cause you to pre-ship and have your booth put in storage. Drayage will then be required at the show to bring your exhibit to the floor space you have rented. Add instant impact wherever you need it. Our lightweight Exhibit System gives
