As the name implies, portable and pop up trade show displays are typically smaller, lightweight and easy to transport. These displays can save you time and money because they’re convenient, quick and easy to assemble and easy to update graphics when that need arises. While both portables and pop ups are generally shippable by Fed Ex or UPS, a pop up display assembles in just minutes where a portable is more elegant but my take 30 to 60 minutes for assemble.
