Every aisle at PPAI sells branded merchandise. Your booth is the only piece of it that isn’t for sale — so it had better look like the best thing on the floor.
Fixed-price PPAI exhibits — design, fabrication, graphics, freight, installation and dismantle in one number that doesn’t move. Pre-built, lit and photo-approved before it ships, so the booth that greets twelve thousand distributors at Mandalay Bay has already stood up once, powered and checked, on our floor.
Filters the booths below — every one shows its Las Vegas price.
PPAI buyers are promotional consultants who look at branded product all day, every day. They can judge decoration quality from the aisle and they know exactly what a cheap backwall looks like — it’s often one of the products they sell. The work below is what we build for consumer, retail and merchandise brands: product walls that read from twenty feet, sample counters at the right height for handling, and somewhere to sit down and write the order, with every project moving through one team from first rendering to dismantle.

PPAI fills the Mandalay Bay Convention Center — a hotel-campus venue at the south end of the Strip, not a standalone hall — with distributor consultants who came to shortlist suppliers for the year. The conference runs on the Monday; the exhibit hall opens Tuesday through Thursday. It’s one of the first big shows on the January calendar, which means the entire build sits in the holidays. Where your booth lands, how fast a buyer can handle your samples, and whether your freight cleared the year-end shutdown all decide more than the graphics do. The most expensive PPAI mistake isn’t a bad booth; it’s one still being built between Christmas and New Year.
Mandalay Bay’s exhibit halls sit inside a resort complex, and freight moves through its docks on Freeman’s marshalling schedule rather than straight off the street. That changes routing, dock timing and how long an install crew waits for a forklift. Sightlines are long and the ceilings generous, so height and lighting carry across the hall. We plan the booth to the hall, book the dock target time to your booth size, and put a supervisor on the door.
Distributors come to touch product — decoration quality, print registration, fabric hand, how the lid closes. A booth that works here behaves like a showroom: product walls that read from the aisle, sample counters at handling height with room for two buyers at once, lighting that flatters colour rather than washing it out, and a table where a line sheet can be worked through. We plan those before the finishes, because a buyer who can’t handle the sample doesn’t shortlist the supplier.
A second-week-of-January show means the advance-order deadlines land in mid-November, and everything after them — freight, approvals, last-minute graphics — runs through Thanksgiving, the Christmas week shutdown and New Year. The real deadline for a locked design is mid-November. Miss it and you’re not late, you’re paying floor rates for electrical and material handling while chasing a truck through the two weeks of the year when nothing moves.
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 Las Vegas 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 second-week-of-January show that puts the binding constraint in mid-November, with Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year all sitting between it and move-in — so the calendar is far tighter than the number of weeks suggests.
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.”

“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.”
