It began months ago with an email from “Marketing Trainee”, who was clearly not a native English speaker, looking to piece together a trade show display package that left us scratching our heads. After weeks of discussing exactly what they are hoping to achieve with their presentation, requirements they have regarding easily produced, interchanged graphics, and a shipping case / podium that all of their custom package could fit in, we finally settled on a solution. The client company, which turned out to be a global healthcare provider, was so impressed with this solution, that they purchased several of these packages initially, and continue to purchase more as the need arises.
Here’s what they had to say:
“I just wanted to tell you that we are very happy with the new table top booths. Attached is a picture with our “home printed” additional posters. We are now all set for the upcoming exhibit season.Best wishes and thank you for your support in this project.”
“Pat-pat-pat…” Yep, that’s the spot.

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.

Now available are (2) 200 watt halogen lights, (5) 75 watt incandescent lights or (2) LED lights.
