Exhibit Booths  

We have come a long way since the early “Trade Faires” that were popular in England and parts of America in the 18 th Century. Way back then the materials used for building exhibit booths for these “Faires” were often brought in by animal drawn carts and then constructed or assembled on site. What we call exhibit booths today compares with the tent type exhibit booths used in those days.

Exhibit booths were filled with both weird and wonderful things in the 18 th Century. Crowds were drawn to the exhibit booths to look at the beautiful woven fabrics or hand made lace on display. Almost anything could be found on sale in these exhibit booths.

At these “Faires” one could often spot a group of children huddled together as they watched and listened to Punch and Judy puppet shows. Exhibit booths used for Punch and Judy performances from the time of the late 18 th century were easy to transport and people knew them by the name “fit-up”. These performance exhibit booths were often decorated from top to bottom. Broad red and white stripes painted on Punch and Judy performance exhibit booths became well known as a decorative feature.

Throughout the 18 th Century these “Faires” played and important part in the lives of the people. There were also people from all walks of life who were attracted to the many side shows such as fortune tellers and card readers whose exhibit booths were often clad with mysterious items and paraphernalia.

Life has sped up exponentially since the 18 th Century and setting up exhibit booths today can be done with the assistance of specialists like the SD Sign Co who are up to speed and catering for the needs of today’s exhibiters booths at trade fairs.

Achieving eye catching displays in exhibit booths is an art!

Choosing display stands from the SD Sign Co’s range makes this easy to achieve and there is a wide selection of display stands to choose from that could find a functional niche in most exhibit booths.
