 Exhibitors the world over give out boring plastic water bottles branded with ho-hum paper labels. But with The Branded Bottle, your logo is screened directly onto a stylish wine-bottle-shaped container. The bottles come in two sizes, 500 and 800 milliliters, and four colors: clear, warm red, cobalt blue, and smoke gray. The company can even create a customized bottle color from hundreds of Pantone tints. Various cap colors are also available to complement your logo and bottle.

 When is a wall not just a wall? When it’s an Air-Wall. The inflatable modular wall system from Air Dimensional Design Inc. features flat or curved pieces that measure 8-by-10 feet. In your exhibit, they can be floor mounted to act as dividers or walls, or suspended from the ceiling with included hooks to function as projection screens. The lightweight, easy-to-install Air-Walls cut shipping and I&D costs compared to typical walls and projection systems, and create an avant-garde look in your booth.

Make your rear-projection screen as unique as your in-booth video presentations with the Vikuiti film from 3M Co. The flexible, self-adhesive film offers a customizable alternative to a basic rear-projection screen. It adheres to any transparent surface, such as a clear-glass or clear-plastic wall, can be cut to any size or shape — such as your company logo or product outline — and requires no brackets, wires, or frames. Plus, it leaves no adhesive residue when removed.

 Offering exhibit visitors a hot beverage is a good idea. Giving them a reusable, branded giveaway that also protects them from hot cups is even better. The Cup Couture Cupcoats are insulated covers for disposable cups. The chic covers come in a variety of patterns and colors, and can be branded with a company name, logo, and color. Their sturdy materials mean the Cupcoats can be used again and again, putting your company’s name
in the palm of attendees’ hands.
