How Much Does a Trade Show Display Cost?

"How much is a trade show display?" depends on which pieces you need. Here are Apex's real starting prices so you can budget honestly — no bundle gimmicks, no invented numbers. Custom canopies are priced instantly online; banner stands and backdrops are quoted per order.

Canopy prices are per unit and drop when you order three or more. "Graphic only" is the printed top on its own; the "full set" adds the aluminium frame and carry bag — the difference is explained on each product page.

Why some products are "priced on request"

Banner stands and backdrops are quoted per order rather than sold at a fixed online price. Request a quote with your artwork and quantity and we'll send pricing and a free proof before anything prints — no obligation.

Budgeting a complete booth

A full booth is the sum of its pieces, not a discounted bundle — each product keeps its own price and configuration. A simple outdoor setup might be a 10×10 canopy plus a table cover; a larger booth adds banner stands and a backdrop. See how the pieces fit together in the booth checklist, or browse recommended combinations on the booth packages page. For a full-booth total, request a quote listing everything you need.

Frequently asked questions

What's the cheapest way to start? A canopy graphic-only top or a pleated table cover are the lowest entry points; add pieces as your booth grows.

Do canopies get cheaper in bulk? Yes — the per-unit canopy price drops at three or more.

Are there package discounts? No hidden bundle price — packages are priced as their individual products. Ask for a quote on large or multi-item orders.
