If you have ever walked into a trade show and thought wow, that booth looks sharp… well, that is the magic of good exhibition displays. And yes, it takes more than a few signs stuck to a wall. It takes the right print gear, the right setup, and a bit of charm. At Clover Displays, we keep it simple. We print things that make your space look good. That is our thing. Not welding. Not heavy metal frames. Just clean, bold, custom prints that help your brand pop.
This guide walks you through the most popular exhibition solutions in Australia right now. The ones people actually use. The ones that pack small, set up fast, and look like you spent a whole weekend planning when you really didn’t.
Let’s break it down.
1. Pull Up Banners
Simple. Fast. Easy to carry.
Pull up banners are still one of the easiest display tools you can use. You pop them out of the bag, pull the graphic up, hook the pole in place and boom… you look organised. They work for trade shows, shops, school events, pretty much anywhere you need a quick brand hit without dragging in heavy gear.
Clover Displays prints these on a strong satin polyester film that resists curling and tearing, so the banner stays straight even after long use. The print colours stay bright because they use UV-resistant, eco-friendly inks. You also get a carry bag, which makes life a lot simpler when you need to move between events.
Why people love them:
- Light and easy to carry
- Perfect for tight booth spaces
- Quick setup in under a minute
- Clean, professional print finish
- Options for Premium, Luxury or Double-Sided styles
Tips:
- Keep wording short
- Use high contrast colours
- Test the banner height before the event day
2. Adjustable Media Walls
Big and bold, but surprisingly simple
Media walls are crowd-pleasers. They look fancy, like something you would see at a red carpet entrance. But the adjustable ones are extra handy. You can resize them to match your stand, which is great when you move between events with different booth sizes.
Best for: product launches, photo walls, expos, brand backdrops.
What Clover Displays prints:
Stretched fabric skins with clear, tight, sharp colour. You get the frame too, but the print is the hero.
Why adjustable walls help:
- One wall for many events
- Smooth fabric print that does not glare
- Professional look
- Packs down small
3. Stretch Fabric Media Walls
Sleek, smooth, and very modern
If you want that clean, curved, seamless style, stretch fabric walls hit the sweet spot. No creases. No shiny vinyl. Just soft, rich colour that sits nice in photos.
Good for: brand teams, photo booths, conference stands.
Quick notes:
- Easy to slide over the frame like a pillowcase
- Fabric is washable
- Carry bag included
- Prints look crisp at any size
Pro tip: Place a light about two metres away. The wall glows like magic.
4. Fabric Banners
Versatile, light, and super stylish
Fabric banners are great when you want something softer than vinyl. They drape well and look clean from far away and close up. Many people use them for indoor events, window displays, or hanging backdrops.
Why fabric is loved:
- No glare under lights
- Vibrant print colours
- Gentle folds look natural, not messy
- Stores easily without cracking
You can hang them with rods, stands, clips or however you like. Very forgiving.
5. Stretch Fabric Display Stands
The show-stoppers
These are the tall, sculpted stands you see at sleek booths. Some are curved. Some are angled. Some look like fancy shapes you cannot quite name. They draw the eye, which is the whole point.
Best uses:
- Product highlights
- Sales points
- Reception desks
- Entrance displays
Why they pop:
- Smooth edges
- Soft curves
- Double sided print options
- Stable but still portable
People love touching them too, which is funny but true.
6. Table Throws
Quick booth upgrade
Put a nice printed throw over your table and suddenly your booth looks intentional and tidy. No more messy cords or uneven boxes hiding under the table.
Styles:
- Fitted
- Loose
- Stretch
- Open back or closed back
Why they work:
- Very quick brand presence
- Makes your booth look finished
- Works with any table size
A good table throw can save even the most chaotic stall. Trust me.
7. Printed Market Umbrellas
Shade plus branding equals win
Outdoor events can be rough. Sun. Wind. Random weather moods. Printed market umbrellas do two jobs. They shade your space and also show off your brand.
Great for: markets, cafés, outdoor expos, school events.
Benefits:
- Large print area
- Visible from far away
- Weather friendly
- Simple to pack down
If you want gentle brand exposure without yelling, umbrellas do it well.
8. Crowd Control Barriers
Add order without losing style
You know those rope barriers at events that guide people? That is these. But when you add custom barrier sleeves, you get branding space that would otherwise be wasted.
Why they help:
- Keep queues neat
- Add brand visibility
- Good for busy events
- Soft fabric sleeves are easy to swap
You can use them indoors or outdoors.
9. Ropes and Pegs
Handy small extras you always forget you need
Events can get windy. Or uneven. Or just a bit unpredictable. Ropes and pegs help secure tents, signs, and other display bits so your day goes smoothly.
Why every exhibitor should have them:
- Cheap
- Light
- Saves your display from tipping
- Quick backup in emergencies
Think of them as the duct tape of event gear.
10. Triangle Signs
Simple on the outside, clever on the inside
Triangle signs sit on the ground or table and catch attention from three sides. Very handy for directional signs, price lists, menus, reminders, or quick brand pops.
Perks:
- Sturdy
- Easy to set up
- Stands by itself
- Great for walkways and entry paths
People often read them without realising, which is the best kind of marketing.
11. Bannerbug Media Walls
Big backdrop. Zero fuss.
Bannerbug Media Walls feel a bit like someone stretched a pull up banner until it turned into a full backdrop. Same simple roll-up style. Same smooth setup. Just… wider. These walls make life easy when you want a clean photo area but you do not want to deal with big frames or fabric sleeves.
Why people pick Bannerbug:
- Pull up system on a larger scale
- Super quick setup
- Neat and tidy print finish
- Strong cassette base that lasts ages
- Great for expos, interviews, launches and tight bump-in times
The graphic heights and widths come in different sizes, so you can match the look you want. And since the whole thing rolls away into the cassette, you get a wall that travels light but looks polished when it stands up.
Tiny tip: keep the artwork bold. These walls shine when the design is simple and wide.
