How to Make Your Standard Booth Stand Out with a Lightbox Display

  • May, 25, 2025

If you’re exhibiting with a standard booth at your next trade show, you’re not alone. Many first-time exhibitors start with the organizer-provided 10x10ft or 10x20ft booths, also known as “standard booths” or “inline booths.” But here’s the reality: without a thoughtful upgrade, these booths tend to look alike—and often go unnoticed.

That’s where strategic lighting and custom visuals come into play.

A Real Case: 10x20ft Dual-Aisle Standard Booth with Lightbox Upgrade

In one of our recent projects, we worked with a client who booked a 10x20ft double-opening booth. While most surrounding exhibitors simply hung printed posters on their back walls, we designed a solution using two 10x10ft SEG lightboxes combined with a 10x10ft fabric print in the center.

The result? A fully illuminated, cohesive back wall that didn’t just display their brand—it made their booth glow from across the aisle.

Why Lighting Matters More Than You Think

Exhibition centers often have uneven lighting. While organizers provide basic lighting for general areas, individual booths can look dim and flat. Our team has tested this in multiple shows: booths with integrated lightboxes attract 4–5x more foot traffic compared to unlit ones.

Lighting draws attention. It highlights your products, elevates your brand’s presence, and communicates professionalism. If you’ve already invested in developing a strong product or service, showcasing it in the right light (literally) makes all the difference.

Custom Illuminated Fascia: Stand Out from the Header

Standard booth headers typically show your company name and booth number printed on a basic white board. This is a missed opportunity.

We provide customized lightbox logos and illuminated company name panels that replace this generic look with a professional branded display. This simple upgrade enhances your visual identity and builds instant trust with visitors.
