How far in advance should I order trade show graphics?

Standard lead time is 2–3 weeks from approved artwork. Rush production at 5–7 days is available on most products. Same-week emergency printing is possible for booth panels and banners — call us. For shows requiring custom fabricated structures, allow 4–6 weeks.

Can you install at the convention center?

Yes. We're a credentialed install vendor at LVCC, Mandalay Bay, and Caesars Forum. We coordinate directly with show services, handle freight, and meet drayage windows so your team isn't dealing with logistics on show day.

What's the price difference between fabric and vinyl backdrops?

Fabric SEG (silicone edge graphics) typically run 20–35% more than equivalent vinyl banners but pack smaller, install faster, and look more premium under booth lighting. For repeat shows, fabric pays back within 2–3 uses through reduced shipping cost alone.

Do you handle on-site changes?

Yes. We have a same-day reprint capability for booths that arrive damaged or with last-minute artwork changes. Local pickup at our shop or rush delivery to the convention floor.

Trade Show & Convention Graphics in Las Vegas

From CES to NAB to ConExpo — we print the booths, banners, and backdrops that show up on the floor in Las Vegas. This is the playbook for getting yours done right.

Las Vegas hosts more major trade shows than any other city in the country, and the print logistics behind them are unforgiving. Lead times are tight, install windows are short, and a missed shipment from an out-of-town vendor means an empty booth on day one. We live in this. Our shop is 12 minutes from the Las Vegas Convention Center and we've produced graphics for hundreds of shows across LVCC, Mandalay Bay, the Sands Expo, and Caesars Forum. This guide covers what to order, when to order it, and how to avoid the mistakes that turn a $50,000 booth investment into a missed first morning.
