One of the biggest problems with traditional pop-up displays is that many of the materials are destined for the landfill. Many options are emerging with this issue in mind, and the Xpressions are no exception. Xpressions display systems offer an affordable and sustainable solution, leading the way in a positive direction for the trade show industry.

Xpressions SNAP! and Xpressions Xpress offer an alternative graphic fabric, produced from recycled soda bottles. Tradtional pop-up graphics are plastic encapsulated prints which cannot be recycled, however this alternative material is completely recyclable once no longer needed. Unlike many pop-up displays, Xpressions do not include magnets, which also are not recyclable.

The overall design of the Xpression displays result in a lower carbon footprint. Since it is extremely lightweight, they are easier and cheaper to transport. The Xpression SNAP kits weigh as little as 5.5 pounds! Traditional pop-up displays are far heavier and can fit in two cases or more.

3. Utilize your Facebook and Twitter accounts before shows. Announce your location and promote contests or prizes through social media.

Typically when ordering a trade show display you have the option of printing your graphics using an ink jet or dye sublimation process. Although both create a strong visual depiction of your design there are many differences that your company must consider before choosing your graphic option.

Not all, but many of the more popular trade show displays such as banner stands and Alumalite displays, have an to use ink jet or dye sublimation graphic printing.

The main difference between the two printing processes is how the images or graphics are laid out on the material that will be used for your display.

Ink jet graphics are much like that of a regular color printer you may find at home or your office. The ink is laid out through individual dots on to the material.

Dye sublimation printing involves a more detailed process where your graphics are directly printed into a fabric-like material. This method allows the dye colors to vaporize under extreme heat and permeate the material before they return to a solid form.

This techinique gives dye sublimation printing a more defined look. If you look close enough to ink jet prints you will start to recognize the individual dots. Dye sublimation printing also allows yields a more vibrant and colorful print.

The disadvantage of dye sublimation is that the price is usually higher due to the process and material it is printed on. Ink jet graphics, when used in booths similar to pop up displays, are coated with a laminate that will give them a longer life span if taken care of properly.

As people worldwide are celebrating the Earth Day, Trade Show Emporium provides you with a brief list of how to make your existing and future trade show displays environmentally friendly.

Purchasing a green trade show display is the first and biggest step one takes to become environmentally friendly with their booth. Environmentally friendly trade show displays are made from socially responsible materials such as bamboo, recycled plastics and aluminum, water-based inks, carpet, fabrics and LED lights.

At the show there are several options to make your display greener. Reduce literature by printing less or printing on recycled paper. After your show is over you can recycle materials through a local agency, or at designated places in the convention center. When you are finished with your display unplug as many electronics items as you can. Items, such as lights, monitors, DVD players and many more still consume electricity even when turned off. Overtime all items added up will save a great deal of energy consumption.

Instead of sending back unused materials, recycle them locally. It will eliminate the need to ship, and reduce carbon eliminate waste. Also employing local talent reduces the carbon footprint created by traveling with your own sales team.

After your display is finished use a trade show display recycling service that will ensure the process of your display and supply you with a detailed report of materials processed.
