When exhibiting at a trade show, most companies start with a standard booth — typically a 3x3m space surrounded by three simple panels and a header board. While this basic setup provides a clean canvas, it can easily get lost in a crowded hall if you don’t add unique elements to your trade show display.

Yesterday, our team visited the factory to set up a real-life 10x10ft portable booth, demonstrating how a few smart upgrades can make a standard booth shine. Here are some practical ways to make your modular booth eye-catching, professional, and memorable:

1、Use Custom Backdrops

The backdrop is the soul of your booth. Instead of leaving plain panels, hang a large printed canvas. For a standard booth, you can choose:

• One full-size 3x3m graphic,
• Or split it into three 1x3m panels,
• Or mix sizes, like one 2x3m panel with a 1x3m extension.

This flexible approach makes it easy to design a unique modular booth layout that fits your brand.

2、Add LED Strip Lights

Wrap one or two layers of LED light strips around the backdrop. This simple trick makes your graphics brighter and your booth more visible from a distance — a smart, low-cost way to upgrade any trade show display.

3、Apply Custom Kit Panels

Many exhibitors add printed kit boards with their logos, taglines, or product visuals. To make these stand out, you can add extra LED strips by yourself — we even provide an easy installation video so your team can set this up in minutes.

4、Install a Rotating Eye Lightbox

One of our favorite highlights is the Rotating Eye Lightbox — a clever sign where an eye graphic rotates automatically. This small moving feature attracts curious visitors and brings a fun vibe to an otherwise static standard booth.

By combining these simple ideas — printed backdrops, flexible modular panels, LED accents, and eye-catching moving signs — you can easily turn a plain 10x10ft portable booth into a trade show display that really stands out.
