  • Exhibiting with a Table Top Display

    May 22, 2026

    Quick answer: A table top display sits on a standard 6 or 8 foot table and gives you a branded backdrop for much less than a full size booth. Table top displays are a great way to exhibit on a tight budget, as long as the other exhibitors at your show are using them too.

    Is a table top display right for my show?

    Before choosing a table top display, find out what other exhibitors at your show will be using. At a show where most booths are table tops, a table top display fits right in. At a show full of 10 foot backwalls, you do not want to be the little guy on the scene.

    What types of table top displays are there?

    Type How it works Best for
    Pop-up table top A collapsible frame that opens in seconds and holds graphic panels The industry standard. Easy setup, and the graphics are easy to replace
    Panel or tri-fold (Breeze) Hinged flat panels that unfold on the table The lowest graphics cost at the table top level
    Fabric (Xpressions) Dye-sub fabric graphics stretched across a pop-up frame A three-dimensional look that stands out from flat backdrops

    Where should my staff stand?

    People often position themselves in the wrong place. As a general rule, your booth staff should stand in front of the table during the show. Your staff should be engaging potential customers, not hiding behind a display.

    What else do I need with a table top display?

    A branded table cover finishes the space. The table is a large part of what visitors see, and a cover with your logo is one of the most cost effective ways to bring your branding to the front of your booth.

    Common questions

    Are table top displays easy to transport?

    Yes. They are among the most portable displays available, and they are quick to set up.

    Can I change the graphics later?

    Yes. On a pop-up table top, the graphics can be replaced without buying a new frame.
