1. Simple Setup & Teardown

A lot of time is spent during trade shows and industry conventions doing the manual labor of setting up the display in the morning and tearing it down every night. This setup and closing time means more labor and money spent on logistics—especially for the more intricate and advanced displays—instead of the booth’s primary purpose of drawing in people.


Setup and teardown are much easier with a pop-up container display, as the container is a safe and secure storage location. Stop wasting time setting up tents and cardboard displays, and consider a sturdy and secure structure that makes closing as easy as bringing everything inside and locking the doors!

2. Portability

Another reason container displays are so popular as trade show booths is their versatility and mobility. After all, these containers are engineered to transport cargo around the world safely, so the naturally portable structure can transport trade show supplies!


At the end of the convention, owners must pack everything up and send it somewhere else, which requires arranging storage and transportation. You can easily pack up your container booth and transport it the same way thousands of containers are shipped worldwide every day. Save time on labor and logistical headaches with a container trade show display!

3. Stand Out From the Crowd

Consider the primary objective of a trade show display—to grab and maintain the attention of visitors and attendees. You’ll see a lot of similar displays in trade shows—tents and temporary structures that look like they were constructed from cardboard.


If you come across an eight-foot-six-inch-tall, 10 to 20-foot-long steel structure, you’ll probably pause and take a closer look at this unique display. A steel pop-up container display instantly grabs the attention and draws in attendees thanks to an outside-the-box display.


Now, you can see how a pop-up container display makes trade shows easier for everyone.
