5' Skybox Fabric Hanging Banner | Compact Trade Show Ceiling Display

A 5 ft. sign is the one that fits a 10x10 or a 10x20 without looking like it is trying to cover a bigger booth. It is high enough to be found from the entrance and the main aisle, and small enough that a show's height and footprint rules rarely get in the way. It is also the least expensive way into an overhead sign, which is usually the first thing an exhibitor adds after the back wall.

Width and face height are two separate choices

The figure in the name, 5 feet, is the width across the sign. The Height option sets how deep the printed band is: 24, 32, 36, 42, 48, 60 or 72 inches. That is the choice that moves the price. A 24 inch face is the cheapest way to get a 5 ft. sign over the booth; a 72 inch face is the one that still reads from the far side of the hall.

What is in the box

• Collapsible extruded aluminum frame with curved stabilizers and corner connectors. It goes together by hand, no tools.
• Dye-sublimated tension fabric graphic that slides over the frame like a pillowcase and zips closed along one edge.
• Rigging hardware set: hanging cable, chain, spring, eye hooks, large screws, hook loop locks and a screw tightener.
• Nylon carry bag.

Print options

Single-sided with white back fabric, single-sided with black back fabric, or double-sided. Single-sided prints the outer face and leaves the inside plain; a black back reads as a shadow from underneath, a white back stays light. Double-sided prints the inside as well, which earns its cost when people standing in your booth look up at it, or when the sign hangs where two aisles cross and is read from both directions.

Getting it hung

Convention centers almost always require their own certified riggers to hang anything from the ceiling. You hand them this kit and they put it up. Order the rigging labor through the show's exhibitor services kit, and order it before the advance deadline, because rigging is one of the line items that costs noticeably more arranged on site. Most shows also limit overhead signs to island booths and set a maximum height to the top of the sign. Both rules are in the exhibitor kit for your show; send it to us if you are not sure how to read it.

Artwork and reprints

The print template comes with your proof, cut for the face height you order. The graphic unzips off the frame, so a rebrand later is a new graphic on hardware you already own rather than a new sign. Ask us for a reprint price when that comes around.

The same size in another shape

This sign has three printed faces. The same 5 ft. span is also made as a 5 ft. round hanging sign and a 5 ft. square hanging sign. Round reads the same from every direction, square gives you four flat faces for separate logos or messages, and three faces sit well over a corner booth or where three aisles meet.

If the show is in Northeast Ohio

We are in Stow. We install exhibits at convention centers around Cleveland and Akron and store booth property between shows, so setup, freight and storage can come off your list. The overhead sign itself still goes up on the venue's own rigging crew.
