5 Tips for Decorating an Exhibition Tent

Whether you are organizing a local merchandise promotional exhibition, or some handmade crafts expo, or even an international trade fair like Canton Fair, your exhibition tent design will be the key to your success. Properly designed, the tent is both practical and cozy; improperly designed, the chaotic layout will make your first impression of the exhibition greatly reduced. Advance exhibition planning and design gives you time to make any necessary adjustments before the convention begins.

What is Exhibition Tent

Exhibition tent is a kind of large-span temporary pavilion combined with aluminum alloy frame and double-layer PVC tarpaulin, which can be quickly disassembled and assembled. It meets DIN 4102B1 flame retardant and EN13782 wind load standards, is lightweight and reusable, and meets the safety and compliance requirements of large-scale exhibitions.

5 Tips for Decorating an Exhibition Tent

• 1.Choose a color scheme. The exhibition tents you buy from commercial  tent suppliers are usually white, but clever use of color on the inside of signs and tents will make your products and services more appealing to your audience’s eyes.

For example, banners with white letters and red backgrounds, booths decorated in red, and red borders on some smaller signs and price tags will look eye-catching and attractive.

• 2. Choose the booth that best displays your goods. For example, a square table with its back against the side wall of the tent, draped in color-coordinated fabric, on which you can display some small goods or crafts. Add a tiered platform for more display space.

At the same time, you need to leave 3 to 4 meters of access between the booths to avoid congestion when there are many people. Things look better when they are hung up, like textile products, which can be hung up using the frame of the canopy.

• 3.Design an attractive entrance to make your exhibition tent Place flush tables on either side in front of the canopy opening and put your samples or colorful brochures as a creative way to catch the audience’s eye.

Hang some brightly colored items from the beams above the canopy opening, such as bells or festive ornaments. If the show can provide electricity, design a lighted area in front of the tent using small colored lights or small spotlights.

• 4.Identify one or two elegant accessories that will make the interior of your exhibition tent more aesthetically pleasing in a pragmatic way without detracting from your main purpose – selling or communicating.

For example, if you’re exhibiting jewelry, provide a mirror with an ornate frame so customers can try on a necklace to see if it fits them. For some more commercialized exhibition space design, you can arrange some elegant flower arrangement or infectious airbrush in some space, and you can use high-tech airbrush technology to spray the company logo or the theme you want to show on the triangle of the exhibition tent.

• 5.Leave some rest space for better work. If you have a folding chair to sit down and rest in between activities, then your one-day high-intensity exhibition work will be more efficient. If your task in the convention requires you to stand for a long time, you can leave a small corner on the floor of the tent so that you can rest your legs and body.

At the same time you can install an air conditioning system for your MICE tent. MICE tents below 4 meters can be installed with a direct-blowing central air conditioning system, while MICE tents above 5 meters can be installed with a ducted air conditioning system.

How to Choose the Exhibition Tent?

When choosing a exhibition tent, first clarify the event attributes and passenger flow scale, then match the appropriate structure and span. The following suggestions are based on industry load specifications and actual operation data for quick reference.

• For B2B trade shows or large-scale expositions, it is suitable to use a Clear Span tent with a span of 1040 m. The internal column-free structure facilitates the arrangement of standard 3 × 3 m booths; for dense flow of people, an area of 1.52 ㎡ per person can be reserved to keep the passageway smooth.
• For short-term events such as outdoor food festivals and art fairs, the 4 × 4 m Pagoda Spire or the flexible Stretch Canopy can be used, which is highly recognizable and easy to connect with the booths; if there are more than 30 booths, the Pagoda Array Corridor can be used to protect against the rain and to guide the flow of traffic.
• Brand flash mobs and immersive launches are suited to the 1,530m diameter Geodesic Dome or a fully transparent glass marquee, with a spherical structure that generates its own buzz; and a translucent curtain wall with light projection that reduces set-up costs and amplifies social media exposure.
• For car shows or luxury goods roadshows seeking a high-end image, the Atrium Tent with glass walls is available, with common sizes starting at 20 × 40 m and external air conditioning and LEDs; its lifting point load of ≥ 250 kg allows for the safe suspension of car platforms or lighting trusses.

Size estimation can be based on “1 m² per person for seating and 0.6 m² per person for standing”, with 1015% reserved for backstage and access; floor loading needs to be ≥ 0.3 t/m² to support the aluminum alloy frame and counterweights.

If you need to take into account rapid deployment and long-term use, Gaxtent provides EN 13782 certified Clear Span and Dome series, 6061T6 aircraft aluminum frame can be erected in one hour by two people; the brand also supports customized color film, ABS wall and glass door systems, providing one-stop solutions for exhibition operators.
