Food manufacturers walk this floor with a plant problem to solve. Your booth has to look like a solution, not a sales pitch.
Fixed-price Food Production Solutions Show exhibits — design, fabrication, graphics, freight, union labour coordination, installation and dismantle in one number that doesn’t move. Pre-built, lit and photo-approved before it ships, so the booth that greets food processors, co-packers and plant engineers in Chicago has already stood up once, powered and checked, on our floor.
Filters the booths below — every one shows its Chicago price.
FPSS is organised around how a food business grows — product development, compliance, production and scale — and the people walking it are operations, quality and engineering leaders who evaluate equipment for a living. They expect to see stainless up close, watch a line run and ask hard questions about sanitation and throughput. The work below is what we build for packaging, processing and industrial technology companies: structures engineered around working equipment and a clean, food-grade finish, with every project moving through one team from first rendering to dismantle.

FPSS is a new show — the successor to EATS and PROCESS EXPO, rebuilt by Messe Frankfurt and the Food Processing Suppliers Association around four Solution Zones that follow a manufacturer’s journey rather than a product category. There is no last-year floor plan, no traffic pattern to rely on and no colleague who exhibited here before. That rewards exhibitors who plan from McCormick Place’s rules rather than from habit, and it makes the zone your booth is placed in the first design decision, not the last.
Whatever the show is called, the building doesn’t change: union trades own their scope, freight enters through the marshalling yard against an assigned target date and drayage is billed by the hundredweight. Heavy processing equipment and wash-down demos raise the stakes on all three. We plan crate weights, floor loading and utility routing to the hall on your contract, and book the target date so nothing waits in the yard.
The floor is sorted by where a manufacturer is in its growth, so a booth in the compliance zone talks to quality managers while one in the production zone talks to plant engineers. The same equipment needs a different story in each. We design the message, the demo and the meeting space to the zone you’ve been placed in — and for live equipment, we size the power, water and drainage orders through the show and venue at advance rates.
An October show puts the advance-order cutoff in the first week of September, straight after the summer holidays and inside the same window as PACK EXPO planning for many of the same suppliers. The real deadline for a locked design is early September; miss it and electrical, drayage and rigging move to floor rates while your competitors’ booths are already built.
Booth space, electrical, drayage, rigging and cleaning are billed to every exhibitor directly by the show, the venue or the show’s general contractor — no exhibit house can absorb them and none should claim to. What we do is calculate them for your exact booth before you commit, and file every order at advance rather than floor rates.
Trade show invoices have a habit of growing between quote and show: labour hours over estimate, revisions rebilled as change orders, graphics reprints, supervision time nobody flagged. Our model is the opposite — the number you approve is the number you pay, contractually. Design revisions are unlimited until you approve. The quote and the final invoice are the same document.
Design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, lighting, freight, installation, dismantle and project management in a single fixed price.
Your booth stands fully assembled and lit at our 65,000 sq ft facility, and you approve photographs of the actual build — not a render.
Space, electrical, drayage and rigging calculated for your exact booth before you commit — so the total is a number, not a range.
COI, EAC, electrical, network, rigging, freight windows — filed at advance rates, mapped to every exhibitor-manual deadline. Nothing lands on your desk three days before it’s due.
We quote higher and cost less. That’s the whole argument, and it’s why every booth below is published with its price rather than hidden behind a “request a quote” form.
Every booth below is priced for Chicago and available as a custom build for your brand — rented, not bought. Use the finder at the top of the page to narrow by size and budget.

The advance-order cutoff lands roughly eight weeks before the show — the exact date is in the facts strip at the top of this page, and it updates automatically each edition. For a late-October show that puts the binding constraint in the first week of September, when your team is just back from summer and PACK EXPO deadlines are competing for the same attention.
Put these to every exhibit house you’re comparing — including us. They separate the vendors that stand behind a number from the ones whose estimate is an opening position. Our answers are printed here so you can hold us to them.
“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.”
“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.”
“It’s always a pleasure to work with Utsav. The process is simple, straightforward, and high quality. I have worked with them for 3 years now and will continue!”
“Their team is incredibly flexible throughout the design process and truly collaborative in bringing ideas to life. I highly recommend Pure Exhibits to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and experienced exhibit partner.”
