Layout plans
Top-down plans drawn to scale. Pick the one you like and builders quote that layout.
Plans illustrate common layouts, not a builder's design. Your show's rules on height and sight lines apply.
Planning this size
Plan a 20×40 trade show booth as two halves: one facing each main aisle, joined by a shared storage or meeting core. A long hanging sign or two smaller ones marks both ends.
Fewer builders list 20×40 as a standard size than 20×20 or 20×30, so send your brief early. Rentals are common, since a structure this size is costly to store.
What it costs
Every quote is built from the same lines. Some are paid once, some at every show. Ask each builder to price every line separately so you can compare like for like.
| Cost line | What it covers | Paid | Published range |
|---|---|---|---|

| Graphics | Printed fabric, panels and signage in your brand | Depends | Quoted |
| Lighting and AV | Lights, screens, video walls, often rented per show | Depends | LED walls and interactive demos: often 20% to 30% of a tech-forward budget Steadfast Displays |
| Flooring and furniture | Carpet or tiles, stools, tables, display cases | Every show | Quoted |
| Shipping and handling | Freight to the venue and the show's material handling charge | Every show | Drayage $1,000 to $10,000+ Classic Exhibits |
| Install and dismantle | Labor to build the booth before opening and take it down after | Every show | $2,000 to $20,000 Classic Exhibits |
| Show services | Electrics, internet, rigging for hanging signs, cleaning, ordered from the show | Every show | Electrical and internet $500 to $5,000 Classic Exhibits |
| Storage | Keeping an owned booth at the builder's warehouse between shows | Every show | $200 to $2,000 a month Classic Exhibits |
Design ideas
Treat each long side as its own entrance.
Storage or meeting rooms in the middle serve both halves.
Visible from both directions along the aisle.
A small presentation area draws a crowd at set times.
