Trade Booth Design Trivia 3

Question 1

Which graphic file format is preferred when sending large-format booth graphics to a print vendor?

Accepted Answer

PDF with embedded fonts and bleeds

Answer

PDF files with embedded fonts, outlined text, and proper bleed settings ensure color accuracy and prevent font-substitution errors in large-format printing.

Question 2

What is the recommended viewing distance rule of thumb for determining minimum font size on trade booth graphics?

Accepted Answer

1 point per foot of viewing distance

Answer

A common guideline is 1 point of font size per foot of intended viewing distance, so text meant to be read at 20 feet should be at least 20 points.

Question 3

What percentage of the booth's total wall space is generally recommended for graphics versus open/product display area?

Accepted Answer

50% graphics, 50% open

Answer

A 50/50 balance between graphic panels and open or product display areas prevents visual clutter while maintaining brand presence.

Question 4

What is 'EAC' in the context of international trade show exhibiting?

Accepted Answer

Exhibitor Appointed Contractor

An EAC (Exhibitor Appointed Contractor) is a non-official contractor hired by the exhibitor to perform tasks instead of the show's exclusive contractor.

Question 5

Which color scheme is most effective for trade booth backgrounds when attempting to attract attention from a crowded show floor?

Accepted Answer

High-contrast complementary colors

Answer

High-contrast complementary color pairings (e.g., blue and orange) create visual tension that draws the eye from a distance on a busy show floor.
