Dallas Trade Show Booth Rentals

Custom exhibits and displays. One number, straight.

A full-service exhibit rental company for Dallas shows: booth design, custom fabrication, graphics, delivery, setup and dismantle under a single fixed price. The figure on the quote is the figure on the invoice — and the venue’s own charges are worked out with you before you sign anything.

Booth builders first, rental company second

Plenty of trade show booth builders in Dallas are really brokers — the design goes to one shop, the fabrication to another, and your booth is whatever comes back. We build in-house: designers, fabricators, print and metal shop under one roof, which is the only way a fixed price can survive contact with a real build. The projects below set the bar your Dallas booth is measured against.

Also built for Genea, Dunnhumby, Chili Piper, LHH, Calm and Spekit.

The Dallas deal

Priced like Texas expects: up front, in writing, done

Exhibit estimates in this industry are opening bids — the real total assembles itself later out of labour hours, change orders and show-site extras. We took the opposite bet: publish the full number, put it in the contract, and win the exhibitors who are tired of pretending an estimate is a price.

01

The whole job, one figure

Booth design, custom fabrication, graphics, furniture, lighting, delivery, setup, teardown and a dedicated project manager — priced as one number that appears twice: on your quote and on your invoice.

02

Built and lit before it leaves

Every Dallas booth goes up complete at our facility first — walls, graphics, power, screens — and you approve photographs of it standing. What reaches the show floor has already worked once.

03

Venue charges, mapped early

Space, electrical, drayage and rigging come from the venue on its own invoice, whoever you hire. We put real figures against each line for your show before you commit, and file the orders while advance rates apply.

04

Setup, delivery, support

Freight to the dock, supervised installation, an on-call team through show days, and dismantle when it ends. If a panel scuffs on Tuesday, someone owns fixing it Tuesday — not a subcontractor three phone calls away.

Dallas pricing

Published prices, not “call for a quote”

Fixed, all-inclusive figures for custom exhibit rentals and trade show displays in Dallas. Any footprint below can be built to your brand — these are the real ranges, printed, which almost no exhibit company in Texas is willing to do.

The second invoice

Where exhibit budgets actually die

Not at the venue — the venue’s charges are published and land on its own invoice whoever builds your booth. Budgets die in the exhibit house’s second invoice: the one after the show, where the labour ran long, the third design round became a change order, and the reprint from the late logo file showed up at $60 a square foot. One 20×20 island in Dallas, priced both ways:

Typical exhibit house
Quoted before you signed$27,500
Setup & teardown labour over estimate+ $3,400
Design rounds billed as change orders+ $2,000
Graphics reprints, late artwork+ $1,300
Supervision hours+ $900

28% above the quote

Exactly the quote

And on the venue’s invoice either way: space, electrical, drayage, rigging, cleaning, internet. Those belong to the show — an exhibit company claiming to absorb them has priced them in somewhere you can’t see. We estimate each line for your specific booth up front and file the orders before advance rates expire.

We quote higher and cost less. A number that intends to grow doesn’t get printed on a public page. This one is.

Where Dallas shows actually happen

Dallas isn’t a venue. It’s five of them.

In most convention cities, “the show is in Dallas” tells you where to send the truck. Here it doesn’t. Shows spread across a metroplex — downtown, the Market Center campus, Irving, Grapevine, Fort Worth — and every operational detail follows from the building, not the city. Confirm the venue before you book anything else.

Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center

Downtown · the big national meetings

Dallas’s main hall — and currently in the middle of a multi-year expansion, which means hall availability and move-in logistics genuinely shift from one edition of a show to the next. What worked for your booth’s freight last cycle may not this cycle; we re-verify per show rather than assume.

Dallas Market Center

Its own campus · market weeks & Lightovation

A separate wholesale campus with its own rhythm of recurring markets. Exhibitors here return several times a year, which changes the economics: a booth designed for re-use across market weeks earns its cost back differently than a one-show build. We design for the cadence.

Irving, Grapevine & Fort Worth

Corporate conferences · association meetings

The Irving Convention Center, the Gaylord Texan and the Fort Worth Convention Center carry a heavy corporate-event load. Hotel-venue shows run tighter docks and stricter move-in windows than exhibit halls — the booth is the same, the logistics are not.

What we run for you here
  • Venue confirmation before freight or labour is committed
  • Floor plan submission and approvals
  • Dock scheduling to the building’s target times
  • Electrical, rigging and drayage orders at advance rates
  • COI and contractor paperwork per venue
  • Supervised setup, show-day support, dismantle
Worth knowing before you plan

Dallas labour costs sit well below the coastal markets, which is one reason a Texas show is kinder to a budget than the same footprint in San Francisco or Chicago. Each show’s general contractor still sets the rules for its floor — setup crews and supervision are inside our fixed price either way.

The Texas circuit

One fixed model, everywhere your Texas year goes

Companies that exhibit in Dallas rarely exhibit only in Dallas. The same team is usually in Houston for the energy calendar, Austin for tech, San Antonio for the association meetings — four cities, and traditionally four rounds of local vendors and re-quoted budgets a year.

We price trade show booth rentals across Texas on the same published, fixed model. Design the booth once for Dallas and its Houston or Austin price is a lookup, not a renegotiation — same structure, same graphics files, same project manager on the phone in every city.

01

Design once, run statewide

The booth built for your Dallas show travels the rest of your Texas calendar — reconfigured to each hall’s rules and footprint, never redrawn from zero by a new local shop.

02

Every city, a printed price

Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio each carry a known fixed figure per footprint. Your whole exhibiting year fits on one budget sheet finance can actually approve.

03

One team keeps the file

Show-services history, graphics specs, the note about which hall’s dock ran late — it all stays with one project manager instead of scattering across four vendors’ inboxes.

In their words

What event managers say after the show

★★★★★
“They never just build the booth and disappear — I always know I have someone on call and ready to jump in when the unexpected inevitably happens. That level of responsiveness makes a huge difference in high-pressure event environments.”
Amanda Horner · Three years of Adobe Summit booths · Google Review
★★★★★
“I’ve worked with Pure Exhibits for almost a year now, and have had such a great experience! They are our go-to for trade shows, and create memorable booths that represent our brand well. The team is incredibly responsive and reliable.”

January exhibitor? Count backwards and your approvals fall inside the holidays, when print floors everywhere run short-staffed. Treat mid-November as the real design deadline.

Working backwards

Plan from the cutoff, not the show date

The date that governs your costs isn’t opening day — it’s the advance-order deadline about eight weeks before it. Nothing visibly breaks when it passes; the same electrical and drayage orders just start costing floor rates. Read the plan in reverse and that cutoff, not the show, is what everything hangs from.

−6 MONTHSShow confirmed, budget fixed in writing, design work opens.
−4 MONTHSVenue confirmed and floor plan filed for approval.
−10 WEEKSFinal artwork locked and handed to the print shop.
−8 WEEKSAdvance-rate deadline for electrical, rigging and drayage. Past here, floor rates.

Rush and last-minute

About four weeks, same price as six months

Vendor collapsed? Show moved up? Because design, fabrication and print share one building, we can take a Dallas booth from approval to the show floor in roughly four weeks — pre-built, photo-verified, and at the identical fixed price a long lead time would get. Rush is a scheduling problem, not a surcharge.

  • Approval to show floor in about four weeks
  • Assembled and photographed before it ships
  • 10×10 through 20×40 available on compressed timelines
  • Zero rush premium — the printed price holds
Questions exhibitors actually ask

Dallas booth rental FAQs

How much does it cost to rent a trade show booth in Dallas?
Printed above: $13,000–$15,500 for a 10×10, up to $60,500–$71,500 for a 30×40 — one fixed figure covering design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, freight, setup, teardown and project management. The venue separately bills space, electrical, drayage and rigging; we put numbers on those lines for your show before you sign.
Are you a booth builder or a rental company?
A builder that rents. Designers, fabricators and the print shop are ours, in one facility — the rental model just means you don’t buy and warehouse the structure. That’s also why the price can be fixed: no subcontractor chain, nobody else’s overruns to pass along.
Is shipping and freight included in the price?
Yes — delivery to your Dallas venue and return freight after the show are inside the fixed number, never a separate line. Your booth also ships only after standing complete at our facility with your photo sign-off, which is why what arrives at the dock goes up without drama.
Do you cover shows outside Dallas — Houston, Austin, San Antonio?
All of Texas, on the same published fixed-price model. Booths that run a statewide calendar keep their design, graphics and project manager across every city — each city’s price is a lookup, so the whole year budgets in one sitting.
Which Dallas venue will my show be in, and does it matter?
It matters more here than in single-venue cities. “Dallas” can mean the Kay Bailey Hutchison center downtown, the Market Center campus, Irving, the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine or Fort Worth — different docks, different rules, different move-in windows. We confirm the building first and plan freight and labour to it, not to the city.
Do you do exhibition stands?
Yes — exhibition stand, trade show booth and exhibit display all describe what we build. International exhibitors bringing a European stand design to a Dallas show should note US conventions differ on power, rigging and contractor rules; we adapt the design to the US floor and handle the paperwork.
Will a rented booth look rented?
Not if the graphics, lighting and layout are designed for you — which here they always are. The structure underneath is modular; everything a visitor sees is yours. The projects in the gallery above are rentals, and you approve photographs of your actual booth before it ships.
What does “setup, delivery and support” actually cover?
Freight to your venue’s dock in its target window, a supervised crew installing in your move-in slot, our team reachable through every show day, then dismantle and outbound freight when it closes. One phone number covers all of it — the booth is never “someone else’s part of the job.”
Can you make a show that’s four weeks out?
Usually, for footprints through 20×40. Everything happens under one roof, so compressed timelines are a scheduling exercise rather than an upcharge — the fixed price is identical to a six-month lead. Call rather than email if you’re inside a month; same-day answers move faster.
What if something breaks or goes missing during move-in?
Our supervisor is on the floor for your install and stays reachable through the show. Because the booth already stood complete at our facility, missing-part surprises are rare — and when show-floor life happens anyway, the person who built it is the one fixing it, not a broker relaying messages.
