Size guide

Sizing for a Trade Show Display

Quick answer

The most common trade show display sizes are 8, 10, and 12 feet wide by 8 feet tall. A standard 10x10 booth fits an 8x8 or 10x8 backdrop comfortably. For wider inline or double booths, 12x8 or larger works best. Always confirm booth dimensions and ceiling height before ordering.

The size of your trade show display depends on your booth space and event budget. Before ordering, confirm your venue booth dimensions and ceiling height. If your ceiling is only 8 feet high, a 10-foot tall backdrop will not fit. For narrow or skinny booth setups, we have slim-profile options, ask us about narrow booth configurations when you get pricing.

For a trade show display, you want to use every inch of your booth space so prospects can read your backdrop from a distance and are drawn in to stop.

Size	Best For
8' x 8'	Standard 10x10 booth
10' x 8'	Inline booths, wider single-booth setups
12' x 8'	Double booth, island setups
20' x 8'+	Large inline, peninsula, custom builds
