The Spotted Chicken Studio, a first-time exhibitor, occupied a 10'x10' booth. The exhibitor used the existing pipe and drape to support her own flame retardant yellow drapes and vinyl banner showcasing the company name. The flooring was made of lightweight 2' x 2' interlocking foam squares in a light oak pattern. Display racks were custom designed of pine and stained to blend with the flooring. Adhesive strips were attached to the display racks to hold the greeting cards in place. Artwork was enlarged and mounted on foam board and hung at the top of two display racks to add visual interest. The booth number sign was printed in a coordinating color, mounted on foam board and hung with a ribbon matching the drape color. The exhibitor provided her own table, draped with colorful cloths, her own black chairs and small black display table, which picked up the black that is used in the art and displays.

This was the third show for Kate Parker Papers. The exhibitor occupied a 10'x10' booth. The flooring was a white carpet rented from Freeman. The fabric for the walls was made from green linen from an upholstery store, and the 2 black and white fabric panels in the front are printed silk from the same store. The printed silk was also used to enhance the exhibitor's own sign. The lighting was clamp on lights, hung from the top of the existing pipe and drape. The chairs were purchased online and shipped to the show. The exhibitor purchased the flowers from a street vendor in NYC. The table was rented from Freeman and the exhibitor used her own tablecloth. The round tables and the chairs were shipped to Javits and assembled at the show. The samples are pasted on black foam board. One trick this exhibitor used was to ship the frames with the product pre-assembled to the show.

This was Wedding Belle Favors first time exhibiting at the show. This is a 10'x10' booth. For the walls, the exhibitor added pink and white striped cotton fabric drapes clamping them onto the existing pape and drape with bulldog clips. Similar fabrics were used to cover the welcome display tables. Placed in the back corners of the booth, they displayed a number of products. Other accent pieces included a pink parasol, a paper lantern, and a silver glitter "welcome" sign. To increase and better facilitate viewing of the custom order favor album, the exhibitor set up both an easel with the album on the welcome table, and a display of the album on the opposite front table of the booth, providing easy view from both directions.

This was the first time Dransfield & Ross exhibited at the National Stationery Show. The exhibitor occupied a 10' x 12' booth. The booth was constructed of horizontal white pine planks stained beige. The same wood planks were used for the flooring and were painted a highgloss superwhite. The cantilevered shelves were purchased from Ikea. Lighting tracks ran along the top of the walls and overhead pinspot lights were also installed. All of the merchandise was displayed in color blocks. The company's own sign, placed in the center of the back wall was a good size - easy to read from the aisle.

Here is an example of an exhibitor who relied on the standard booth package; pipe and drape. This was CriDoG Design's first trade show and the company exhibited in an 8' x 10' space. The exhibitor mounted imagery on 1/2' fire proof foam board covered with fire proof fabric and rented gray carpeting that worked with the booth's color scheme. Cards were displayed in card racks on one side of the booth, with enlarged images of the cards on the other side and the entire collection was displayed on the back wall. The foam board was hung off the pipe and drape provided, using the "S" hooks available on-site at the Show.
Sher Rajah Publishing, from the U.K., was a first time exhibitor in the National Stationery Show. This exhibitor purchased the hardwall booth package, available to international exhibitors, for the 60 sq. ft. space. This booth package included a street style sign, light trough/bar with four 50 watt halogen light heads and carpeting. The exhibitor hung voile curtains over the hardwall to soften the look. The exhibitor also opted to pay extra for additional lighting to further enhance the look of the booth and highlight the cards. The table was ordered through Freeman and was used to hold sample cards and a dish of English mints. A large display of peonies was bought locally.	!
This clever rendition of a 1950’s kitchen is from the creative mind behind Motormouthpress. The exhibitor aimed to showcase her cards in an environment that would convey the sensibilities behind her food-themed cards. The booth is made from pink foam board walls ordered from Manny Stone. The exhibitor specifically requested that Manny Stone create a box shape for the refrigerator, and a shallow shelf for the cabinets. Ahead of the Show, the exhibitor designed the booth in Adobe Illustrator in panoramic view at half size. She then took her kitchen design to a vinyl sign shop, and requested that the design be printed at 200% . The sign was printed out, rolled up, and shipped to the Show. When the exhibitor arrived for set-up, she and her sister spent 6 hours transferring the vinyl to the pink walls – with great results! The next day of set-up was spent displaying the cards. Note that some of the cards are displayed as if stuck with magnets on the “fridge,” while others are on top of the kitchen counters and cabinets. The teal carpet was ordered through Freeman, and the red chair, which matches the trim in the tablecloth was ordered from an online diner furniture provider. “I wanted a visual break from the pink and white walls,” said the exhibitor. The little table is actually two shelves (needed for storage) bought at Kmart in NYC. The exhibitor, who wore a cute little ‘50s apron during the Show, said “It was important to create a space that felt larger than the 80 square feet that we had, but that was, at the same time, warm and inviting, not intimidating.” Pendamonium, a second time exhibitor occupied a 10'x12' booth. The exhibitor used variations of green in order to allow the colorful product to stand out. The lime green fabric drapes (sprayed to be fire retardant) were used for the back walls. The 3 tables on the sides and at the back of the booth were rented from Freeman and covered in the same fabric. The flooring was made of canvas and painted in varying colors of lime green with large polka dots. The white shelving was an easy fold-open style. Two lights were placed at the front of the booth. Two lime green folding garden chairs were purchased at an import store, and the letters spelling out the company name were purchased from a craft store, and then spraypainted bright white to match the display.
