Pop-up backdrops, retractable banner stands, table throws, backlit graphics and event signage that travel well and set up fast.

Overview

Built forGreensboro businesses.

A trade show booth has seconds to earn attention. We produce display systems and event graphics for expos, conferences, career fairs and pop-up events — built to travel, set up quickly and look sharp under convention-hall lighting.

From a single retractable banner stand to a full backdrop with a matching table throw, we'll recommend hardware that fits your booth size, how often you'll use it and how you'll transport it. Fabric graphics pack small and resist creasing; rigid and backlit options add impact when you have more time to set up.

Because we also handle printing, promotional products and signage, we can coordinate everything your team needs for the event: literature, business cards, giveaways and directional signs, all matching your display.

Gate City Signs recently helped install large format wall graphics in our 1250 entrance. We were beyond pleased with their professionalism, prices, and customer service. They went back and forth with us to make sure that everything was perfect. The installers who came out were a joy to work with and detail oriented. We'll definitely be working with them again soon!

We have used Gate City Signs for multiple projects and we are always happy with their work. Recently they designed, produced, and installed a new monument sign for our highrise complex. The board and residents love it. Their service is first-rate and they are very professional and nice people to work with.

Gate City Signs and Graphics did an amazing job on our project. When I first started looking to replace some panels I wasn't sure who could help me since the panels were unique. They were more than happy to help me out and get the replacement done. The graphics on them are top quality, and they came in and installed them to make sure everything fit perfectly. I highly recommend their company.

FAQ

Trade Show Displays questions

Which display is best for my first trade show?

For most first-time exhibitors, a retractable banner stand and a printed table throw give a professional look at a modest budget. If you have a full 10×10 space, a fabric backdrop adds a lot of impact and still packs into a single bag.

Can I reuse my display hardware?

Yes. Most frames and stands are reusable, and fabric or banner graphics can be reprinted when your message changes, so you only pay for new graphics instead of new hardware.

How far ahead should I order for an event?

As early as you can — ideally a few weeks before the show so there's time for design, proofs and shipping. Contact us with your event date and we'll confirm a timeline that works.

Can you print matching handouts and giveaways?

Yes. We produce brochures, business cards, promotional products and event signage, so everything for your booth can be coordinated with your display graphics.
