“Full service” should mean nothing left on your desk

Every exhibit company in Anaheim calls itself full-service. Here’s the test: after you approve the design, how many vendors, forms and invoices still have your name on them? With us, the answer is one vendor, zero forms, and an invoice you’ve already seen — because it’s the quote.

01

Everything, one figure

Design, millwork and fabrication, graphics, displays, furniture, lighting, freight, supervised install, dismantle and management — a single fixed price that reads the same on the quote and the final invoice.

02

Stood up before it ships

Your booth is assembled complete at our facility — powered, lit, graphics on — and photographed for your approval. The show floor gets a build that has already worked once.

03

The venue’s lines, forecast

Space, electrical, drayage and rigging come to you on the convention center’s invoice no matter who builds the booth. We put honest estimates on each line before you commit and file at advance rates.

04

California-ready paperwork

COI, EAC, fire-marshal submissions for covered or multi-level structures, union labour coordination — the compliance layer California adds is handled by us, on our calendar, not yours.

The second invoice

Two prices exist for every booth. You only see one up front.

There’s the price that wins the job, and the price you’ve actually paid once the show closes — after the labour clock, the change orders and the emergency reprints have done their work. The venue isn’t the culprit; its charges are tariffed and arrive on its own invoice regardless. The gap lives entirely in the exhibit house’s billing. One 20×20 island in Anaheim, both prices shown:

Typical exhibit house
Quoted before you signed$32,500
Install & dismantle labour, over estimate+ $3,900
Design revisions as change orders+ $2,400
Reprints and late-artwork fees+ $1,400
Supervision, billed hourly+ $1,000
Actually paid$41,200
27% above the quote
Pure Exhibits
Quoted before you signed$33,500
Install & dismantle labourIncluded
Design revisionsUnlimited
Graphics productionIncluded
SupervisionIncluded
Actually paid$33,500
Exactly the quote

On the convention center’s invoice either way: space, electrical, drayage, rigging, cleaning, internet — tariffed venue charges no honest exhibit company claims to absorb. Ours is the company that forecasts them for your booth before you sign and places every order while advance rates hold.

We quote higher and cost less. The second price and the first one are the same number here — that’s the entire pitch.

Anaheim Convention Center

The West Coast’s biggest hall, and its quirks

The Anaheim Convention Center is the largest exhibit facility on the West Coast — a long run of connected halls plus the newer ACC North building, sitting in a walkable hotel district a block from the Disneyland resort. Big, busy and well-run — with three local realities worth planning around rather than discovering.

Main halls vs ACC North

Connected halls · separate north building

The main halls run as one long floor; ACC North is its own multi-level building with different access and freight logistics. The same show can use both, and which one holds your booth changes dock timing and install sequence — we confirm hall first, plan second.

California’s compliance layer

Fire marshal · covered & multi-level structures

California enforces exhibit rules with unusual rigour: covered booths, enclosed rooms and second storeys need fire-marshal review, and the submissions carry lead time. It’s routine when filed early and expensive when remembered late — filing it is our job.

A resort district floor

Katella Ave docks · hotel-walk crowds

Attendees walk in from the surrounding hotels, so the floor fills early and stays full — good for traffic, demanding on booth staffing and restock. Freight, meanwhile, works a compact dock apron on enforced windows; the target time is not a suggestion.

What we run for you here
  • Hall confirmation, then the plan — not the reverse
  • Floor plan and fire-marshal submissions, filed early
  • Dock target times booked and met
  • Electrical, rigging and drayage at advance rates
  • Union labour coordination and supervision
  • Dismantle and outbound freight when it closes
Worth knowing before you plan

Anaheim is a union show town and California adds a compliance layer most states skip — but its labour rates still sit below San Francisco’s, and the venue’s operations are among the smoothest in the country when the paperwork lands on time. Ours does.

The Anaheim brief

Here, attendees don’t view products. They play them and taste them.

Anaheim’s flagship floors are sensory. At NAMM the product is sound — thousands of instruments demoed simultaneously in one building. At Natural Products Expo West it’s taste — tens of thousands of samples served across three days. Booths designed as visual displays fail on both floors, because the visitor came to use the product, and the booth’s real job is making that possible.

01

Sound, contained

Demo rooms with genuine acoustic treatment, so your instrument or system can be heard over a hall full of competitors’ — and so your conversations survive the noise floor. At NAMM, isolation is the product display.

02

Sampling, compliant

Food-safe counters, refrigeration, hand-wash points and the health-permit paperwork sampling requires. An Expo West booth is a small food-service operation, and we build it as one.

03

Back-of-house that keeps up

Demo floors burn through stock. Hidden storage, restock access that doesn’t cross the customer path, and staff space to reset — the unglamorous square footage that keeps a busy booth working at hour seven.

In their words

Anaheim show calendar

When to start, by show

Anaheim’s anchors return every year, which makes planning kinder here than in rotation cities — the dates are known, so the only late exhibitor is a voluntary one. Runways below assume a custom build with fire-marshal review where the design needs it.

Verify months annually · rotating meetings not listed
ShowTypical monthVenueStart planning
The NAMM ShowJanuaryAnaheim Convention Center5–6 months
MD&M West / IME WestFebruaryAnaheim Convention Center4 months
Natural Products Expo WestMarchAnaheim Convention Center5 months

NAMM’s runway is honest, not padded: a January show means design approval before the holiday production freeze, and an acoustic demo room adds engineering and fire-marshal review on top. Sign off in early November and January is calm.

Working backwards

Read the plan the way costs do — from the deadline, backwards

One date on this timeline moves money: the advance-order close, about eight weeks before the show, after which the identical electrical, rigging and drayage orders bill at floor rates. Every other milestone is scheduled so that gate passes unnoticed.

−6 MONTHSBrief in, fixed price signed, design opens.
−4 MONTHSHall confirmed; layout and fire-marshal submissions filed.
−10 WEEKSGraphics locked and released to print.
−8 WEEKSAdvance-order close for show services. The only date that reprices.
−4 WEEKSDock target time reserved on the Katella apron.
−2 WEEKSBooth assembled and lit in our shop; photos to you for sign-off.
SHOW WEEKUnion crew installs in your window; you arrive to done.
Rush and last-minute

Three to four weeks, if it comes to that

A dropped vendor or a late budget doesn’t have to mean a bare 10×10 with a banner. With design, millwork and print under one roof, we take Anaheim booths from approval to the floor in three to four weeks — pre-assembled, photo-approved, and at the same published price a six-month lead would pay.

  • Three to four weeks, approval to show floor
  • Photo-verified assembly before shipping, rush or not
  • 10×10 through 20×40 on compressed timelines
  • No rush surcharge — the printed price is the price
Questions exhibitors actually ask

Anaheim booth rental FAQs

What does a trade show booth rental cost in Anaheim, CA?
$14,500–$17,000 for a 10×10 and up to $66,000–$78,000 for a 30×40 — fixed figures covering design, custom fabrication, graphics, furniture, freight, union labour coordination, install, dismantle and management. The convention center bills space, electrical, drayage and rigging separately; we forecast those for your booth before you sign.
Do you design booths, or just rent structures?
Design comes first — every project starts in our studio with a 3D concept drawn for your brand, revised without limit until you approve, at no separate design fee. The rental part only means you don’t buy and warehouse the structure afterwards. Designers and fabricators share our building, so the design you approve is the booth you get.
Can you produce trade show backdrops and backwalls?
Yes — full-height backwalls, tension-fabric backdrops and large-format graphic walls are part of nearly every inline booth we build, printed and finished in-house. If you need the backdrop as part of a complete 10×10 or 10×20 exhibit, that’s exactly what the smaller footprints in our pricing table are.
What makes a company genuinely “full service”?
Count what’s left on your desk after design approval. Genuinely full service means one vendor holds design, fabrication, graphics, freight, labour, show paperwork and on-floor supervision — and one fixed price holds all of it. If you’re still filing forms or reconciling invoices, part of the service was marketing.
Does it matter which hall my booth lands in?
At this venue, yes. The main halls and ACC North are different animals for freight, access and install sequencing — same show, different logistics. We confirm your hall before committing dock times or crew calls, and plan the install to the building you’re actually in.
We’re exhibiting at NAMM — anything special to know?
Two things. If your product makes sound, budget for a treated demo space — audibility is the whole game on that floor. And NAMM is mid-January, which puts design deadlines before the holiday production freeze: lock the design in early November and the show is easy.
Can you build sampling booths for Expo West?
Yes — food-safe serving counters, refrigeration, hand-wash stations, concealed restock storage and the sampling-permit paperwork the show and county require. A sampling booth is a small food-service operation with a brand wrapped around it, and it gets engineered as one.
Do covered booths or second storeys need special approval in California?
They do — ceilings, enclosed rooms and multi-level structures go through fire-marshal review, with real lead time attached. It’s a routine filing when it starts early, which is why it’s on our checklist at the four-month mark rather than a surprise at move-in.
Will a rented booth look rented?
Visitors see graphics, lighting, finishes and layout — all designed for you. The reusable part is the engineering underneath. Everything in the gallery above is a rental, and before yours ships you review photographs of the actual booth standing complete in our shop.
Who handles problems during move-in and the show?
Our supervisor runs your move-in on the floor and your project manager stays on call through the show. Pre-assembly catches most problems before the truck leaves — and for the ones a live show invents anyway, the team that built the booth is the team answering the phone.
