Las Vegas trade show services
Las Vegas hosts more of the country’s largest trade shows than any other city. InkExpo plans, produces and delivers the graphics that represent you there, and stays on call until the show closes.
Most of our projects still start the same way they did when we opened. Someone calls with a show date, a booth number and an idea that isn’t quite finished yet. Our job is to turn that into something standing on the carpet, lit and ready, the morning the doors open.
We don’t sell a booth out of a catalog and call it yours. We start with your space, your products and the people you want to stop in the aisle, and we build around that. Back walls and backlit towers, counters with storage built in, meeting rooms, flooring and the graphics on every surface.
It’s designed here, printed here and built here, then set up in our shop before it ever goes near a loading dock.
The same goes for signage. Hanging signs you can find from across the hall, lobby and storefront signs, wayfinding for events, and the banners that go up the night before a show.
A lot of our clients come to us for a booth and end up handing us everything else with their name on it.
A booth has one job. It has to be ready when the doors open. Everything we do works backward from that date.
You learn the buildings. How each hall runs move-in, where freight gets held up, which rules get enforced on the floor and which deadlines really are final. You learn to read the exhibitor manual before the rendering, because a beautiful booth that’s two feet too tall comes down on move-in day.
You also watch the work change. Heavy laminated panels and hard crates gave way to printed fabric that packs into a case and comes out without a wrinkle. We’ve built through all of it, and those lessons go into everything we make now.
A good booth isn’t a one-show purchase. We build ours to be taken down, stored, repaired and set up again. A 10 × 20 can become a 10 × 10 when the schedule calls for it, or take on a new look with nothing more than new graphics.
When the show ends we pack it out, check every piece and keep it here until you need it again. That’s how we measure the work. Did you call us again for the next show?
One team handles your show from planning to teardown, so you have one person to call and one company accountable for the result.
We review your space, the exhibitor manual and your goals, then recommend what to produce for inline, corner, peninsula and island booths.
Fabric backwalls, banner stands, counters, hanging signs, flooring, literature and everything else your booth needs, produced to one color standard.
Crated and labeled to your general contractor’s spec, delivered to the advance warehouse or straight to your booth during move-in.
Something damaged, missing or wrong once the doors open? We reprint the same day and courier it to your booth.
Every piece is tagged and mapped to your booth plan, and we work alongside your exhibit house or the show’s labor so installs go fast.
We keep your graphics between shows, inspect and repair them, update what has changed and deliver them to the next event.
The rules that cost first-time exhibitors the most, and how we handle each one for you.
Your general service contractor accepts freight at an advance warehouse weeks before the show, or only during your targeted move-in window at the show dock. Arrive outside the window and you pay to wait.
How we handle it: We schedule delivery around your window, or deliver across town when time is short.
Show freight is billed by weight, per trip, with minimums. Heavy crates and several small shipments add up quickly.
How we handle it: We favor lightweight fabric graphics and pack your kit to keep weight and crate count down.
Overhead signs need a rigging order placed well before the show, with dimensions and weights on file.
How we handle it: We deliver hanging signs built to spec with the weights you need, and remind you before the deadline.
Height limits, fire-rated materials, hand-carry allowances and who may install what all vary by show and by hall.
How we handle it: We read the exhibitor manual with you so what arrives is what you are allowed to put up.
We deliver to every major convention venue in the city, timed to your move-in window and labeled for your hall and booth.

Send your booth size, floor plan and exhibitor manual. We flag venue rules, height limits and the hanging sign deadline, and send a proposal.
Files are checked and proofed. Fabric strike-offs are available when brand color is critical.
Everything is produced, inspected, tagged and packed to match your booth plan.
Crated and labeled to your contractor’s spec, arriving inside the advance window.
Local delivery timed to your move-in slot, for kits that skip the warehouse or last-minute additions.
Damaged banner, new speaker, a typo on the counter: we reprint the same day and bring it to your booth.
We produce behind the scenes for companies that build booths and run events year-round.
Your name on the label and the paperwork. Blind shipping to your client’s booth.
Contract pricing, net-30 terms and stored brand standards for each of your clients.
One person who knows your accounts, your hardware and your deadlines.
For a new custom build, start about 12 weeks before the show so there is time for design, approvals, fabrication and a test build. New graphics on a booth you already own can be done in about 30 days, and faster when needed.
We design it. You get a 3D rendering of the booth with your graphics before anything is built. If you have an agency or exhibit house, we work from their design instead.
Yes. We design modular booths so the same frames and components can be set up as a 10 × 10, a 10 × 20 or part of a larger island, with graphics made for each layout.
Often, yes. We can reprint the fabric graphics, add counters, towers or lighting, and repair the frame, which costs far less than a new build.
Yes, for most banners, signs, counter wraps and printed pieces. Call early in the day; we print, finish and courier to your booth or the show-site dock.
Yes. Send us your exhibitor kit shipping labels or the warehouse address and we crate, label and ship inside the advance window.
Installation rules vary by show and venue. We coordinate with your exhibit house or the show’s contracted labor, and we kit every piece so installs go quickly.
Send a physical sample or the original files. We match color across fabric, vinyl and paper, with strike-offs for sign-off when it matters.
Yes. Tell us the hardware make and model or send photos and measurements, and we build graphics to fit.
Send us the show, your booth size and your dates. We’ll come back with recommendations, a timeline and a proposal.
