Custom booth production usually takes 1–2 weeks, plus time for design approval. We recommend starting early to allow time for revisions, permits, and logistics.
11. What materials are best for building a SHOT Show Las Vegas booth?
We use aluminum systems, tension fabric, laminated wood, acrylics, and LED panels. These are light, strong, and fire-rated. They also allow quick setup and clean finishes. All materials follow venue safety codes.

Use motion or interaction to draw attention. Try:
