How much does a trade show booth cost?
A STANDARD trade show booth starts at €5,999 net in size S, €7,999 in size M and €10,999 in size L – each per trade show appearance. The PLUS, PRO and MAX tiers add €1,000, €2,000 and €3,000 respectively. All prices are net fixed prices excl. VAT.
How much does a trade show booth cost per square metre?
Depending on size and package, a STANDARD trade show booth is roughly €375 to €670 net per m². Larger stands are cheaper per square metre. The decisive figure is always the package fixed price per trade show appearance, not a pure per-square-metre rate.
What is included in the fixed price?
The fixed price includes the booth system, full-wall graphics (printing included), lighting, carpet, storage room depending on the package, logistics and transport, setup and dismantling, and project management. Optional add-ons such as graphic design, counters or TV are available separately and transparently.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. EXPRESS BOOTH works with transparent net fixed prices per trade show appearance. The stated price is binding and includes setup and dismantling, logistics, banner and lighting. Only optional extras such as graphic design or additional furniture are itemised separately and clearly in advance.
Is it worth renting or buying a trade show booth?
Renting is worth it for plannable, recurring trade show appearances without internal effort for storage, setup and dismantling – with a fixed price from €5,999 net per event and up to 20% subscription discount. Buying can pay off if you exhibit very frequently in an identical stand format and need full design control. For most exhibitors, renting at a fixed price is more economical and lower-risk.

How do I get an affordable trade show booth?
The most affordable professional route is a rented system stand at a fixed price: no purchase cost, no storage, no own setup crew. At EXPRESS BOOTH, affordable booths start at €5,999 net in size S, all-inclusive with print, lighting, carpet, logistics and assembly. Exhibitors attending several shows per year cut the price by up to 20% with the EXPRESS subscription. Only pop-up displays are cheaper, but they play in a different visual league.
How much can I save with the EXPRESS subscription?
With the EXPRESS subscription the fixed price per event decreases: EXPRESS PRO from 3 appearances per year 10% off (from €1,599 net/year), EXPRESS BUSINESS for 4–6 appearances 15% (€3,000 net/year) and EXPRESS ENTERPRISE from 7 appearances 20% (€6,000 net/year). Important: the subscription pays off once the discount exceeds the annual fee, in size S that means from 3 (PRO), 4 (BUSINESS) or 6 appearances (ENTERPRISE). For fewer shows, booking individually is cheaper.
