Trade shows, pop-ups, and live events require signage that’s lightweight, affordable, easy to transport, and easy to install — without sacrificing visual impact. Corrugated products have become a go-to solution for trade show signage and event decor thanks to its versatility, sustainability, and customization potential.

Trade show signage and event decor play a critical role in attracting foot traffic, communicating value propositions, and reinforcing brand recognition in crowded environments. From temporary pop-up events to large-scale trade shows, corrugated products provide a flexible, sustainable alternative to traditional materials like metal, plastic, and foam board.

From branded displays, product pedestals, wayfinding signs, and event giveaways, corrugated products offer a smarter alternative to traditional materials.

Types of Corrugated Trade Show & Event Signage and Décor

Corrugated trade show and event signage and decor includes temporary display structures, branded surfaces, and decorative elements designed to attract attention, guide attendees, and communicate key brand messages. While many factors contribute to your event’s success, the value of well-executed decorations cannot be overstated.

Decorations set the tone for your event, deliver your brand message, convey your core values, and build relationships with your customers, clients, and other constituents.

Branded Display Signs

Use corrugated display signs to create bold backdrops, feature product messaging, and highlight promotions that draw attendees into your booth.

Directional & Wayfinding Signage

Directional signage helps attendees locate your booth quickly and improves the overall event experience — especially in large venues.

Product Pedestals & Display Structures

Corrugated pedestals that can be made with square tube boxes or stacking shipping boxes for a more visual design add visual depth to booths and elevate featured products while remaining lightweight and easy to assemble.

Hanging Signs & Overhead Displays

Lightweight corrugated hanging signage allows brands to communicate USPs and booth numbers from a distance without heavy rigging.

Branded Packaging & Event Giveaways

Custom corrugated packaging can be used for event swag, samples, and giveaways — extending brand visibility beyond the show floor. Mailer boxes are a popular choice, while gable boxes offer a fun, functional option that allows attendees to carry your branding throughout the event.

These surfaces can be printed on to display your logo, event information, QR codes, brand messaging, and more.

Sustainable Signage for Trade Shows & Events

Sustainability is increasingly important for event marketing teams looking to reduce waste without sacrificing design impact. Corrugated products support sustainable event strategies by minimizing material usage and minimizing or eliminating the need for long-term storage.

Corrugated solutions tie directly to:

• Single-use waste reduction
• Recyclability
• Little to no long-term storage needed
• Lower carbon footprint

Compared to traditional signage materials, corrugated solutions offer a lower environmental footprint while maintaining durability for short-term and multi-day events.
