How EXPRESS compares

A low entry price says little. What matters is what actually stands at the show, and what gets added on top.

Five questions to ask of any quote

  • Are all walls printed, or only some surfaces?
  • Are setup and dismantling included, also at your venue?
  • What do lighting, flooring and print add?
  • How high are the logistics costs, and are they listed separately?
  • Who is your contact on site?

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about
trade show booth pricing & costs

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 as a rental price per show, for the whole show. The PLUS, PRO and MAX tiers add €1,000, €2,000 and €3,000 respectively. All prices are net rental prices excl. VAT and logistics costs. For logistics your quote gives an estimate, and we bill them at actual cost.
How much does a trade show booth cost per square metre?
A STANDARD trade show booth works out at roughly €305 to €670 net per m², depending on size: about €375 to €670 in size S and about €305 to €440 in size L. Larger stands are therefore cheaper per square metre. The decisive figure is always the package rental price per show, not a pure per-square-metre rate.
What is included in the rental price?
The rental price includes the booth system, full-wall graphics (printing included), lighting, carpet, storage room, setup and dismantling, and project management. Logistics costs for transport and delivery come on top. Your quote gives an estimate, and we bill them at actual cost. Optional add-ons such as graphic design, counters or TV are available separately and transparently.
How long does the rental price cover?
The whole show. The rental price covers setup the day before, every show day and dismantling after the show closes, whether the show runs two days or five. There is no daily rate.
Do I keep the printed walls after the show?
Yes. The printed fabrics are yours, and printing is included in the rental price. After the show we store them for your next show, or you take them with you. The stand system, lighting, flooring and extras are rented and come back to us after dismantling.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. EXPRESS BOOTH works with transparent net rental prices per show. The stated price is binding and includes setup and dismantling, the printed walls and lighting. Logistics costs come on top: estimated in your quote, billed at actual cost. 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 rental price from €5,999 net per show and up to 15% volume 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, including print, lighting, carpet and assembly, plus logistics costs. Exhibitors attending several shows per year cut the price by up to 15% with the volume discount. Only pop-up displays are cheaper, but they play in a different visual league.
How much do I save with several shows?
Booking several shows within one year lowers the price per stand: 5% from 2 shows, 10% from 3 and 15% from 5 or more, applied to the stand price. There is no annual fee and no minimum term. For a STANDARD stand in size S that is roughly €1,800 less across three shows.
How fast do I receive a quote – and how short-notice can the booth be delivered?
You receive your binding fixed-price quote within 24 hours (Mon–Fri) after your enquiry. Urgent? Reach us by phone Mon–Fri from 8 am to 5 pm German time (CET/CEST) at +49 7721 88588-0. Depending on location, date and availability, short-notice delivery is possible; we confirm availability, timing and your fixed price, then handle printing, logistics, setup and dismantling.
