The Booth That Sets Up in Minutes and Turns Heads for Days

If you want maximum impact with minimum hassle, a pop-up display for trade shows is hard to beat. These clever, collapsible displays expand from a compact case into a full, seamless backdrop in a matter of minutes; no tools, no crew, no headache. One person can set the whole thing up before the coffee gets cold. For exhibitors who value speed, portability, and a polished look, the pop-up is a proven workhorse.

At Godfrey Group, we've been designing and building trade show exhibits since 1970, and the pop-up display remains one of the smartest ways to show up big without weighing yourself down.

Why a Pop Up Display Trade Show Setup Just Works

The magic is in the mechanism. An accordion-style frame springs open and locks into place, and your graphics attach to create a smooth, professional backdrop that looks like it took hours to build. Here's why exhibitors keep reaching for them:

  • Setup in minutes. The collapsible frame expands fast and locks solid. One person, no tools, done in minutes.
  • Genuinely portable. The whole display packs into a wheeled case you can roll through the convention center yourself.
  • Lightweight on your budget. Lower shipping weight means lower shipping costs—and many cases double as a shipping container.
  • Seamless, vivid graphics. Modern fabric pop-ups give you an edge-to-edge, wrinkle-free surface with rich, eye-catching color.
  • Reusable and refreshable. Swap the graphics when your message changes and keep the same reliable frame for years.

Sizes to Fit Any Space You Book

Whether you're anchoring a small inline spot or filling a wider footprint, there's a trade show pop up display sized for the job:

  • 8x10 pop up trade show display: A compact, budget-friendly option that still delivers a full, professional backwall for smaller inline booths.
  • 10x10 pop up trade show display: The go-to standard. A clean, bold backdrop that makes the most common inline space feel branded and intentional.
  • 10x20 pop up trade show display: Twice the width and twice the presence. Ideal for telling a bigger story, adding a monitor, or creating room for product and conversation.

Not sure which size fits your space or your goals? That's what we're here for. We'll help you match the right trade show pop up display to your booth, your budget, and your brand.

More Than Just a Backdrop

Trade show pop up displays are wonderfully flexible. Beyond the classic straight or curved backwall, you can build out a complete presence with coordinated pieces:

  • Curved pop-ups that soften your space and draw the eye
  • Podiums and counters that double as literature stations or demo space
  • Matching banner stands to frame your booth and reinforce your message
  • Backlit and accent lighting to make your graphics glow

Combine these elements and your pop-up becomes the anchor of a cohesive, head-turning booth that looks far more custom than it costs.

The Godfrey Group Difference

Here's where we stand apart. We don't just drop a pop-up kit in a box and wish you luck. We combine reliable stock components with our own in-house graphic design and custom production for a true turnkey experience. Design, printing, setup guidance, shipping, storage—it all lives under one roof.

That means one team that knows your booth inside and out, graphics that are printed sharp and true to your brand, and a display that arrives on time, on target, and within budget. For over 50 years, we've done exactly that for companies large and small.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to set up a pop up display for a trade show? 

Most pop up displays go from case to complete in just a few minutes. The frame expands and locks on its own, then the graphics attach; typically no tools required and easily handled by one person.

Are pop-up displays durable enough for repeat shows? 

Yes. The frames are engineered to expand and collapse hundreds of times, and the fabric graphics resist wrinkles and wear. With basic care, a quality pop up lasts for years of shows.

Can I change the graphics later? 

Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of a pop up is that you can swap in fresh graphics for a new campaign or rebrand while keeping the same frame, saving you money over time.

How portable are they, really? 

Very. The entire display packs into a wheeled travel case that most exhibitors can transport and roll in themselves, which also helps keep shipping costs down.
