Custom Designed Exhibits Process

Anatomy of a design…

At Moose Exhibits, we specialize in creating custom trade show exhibits—and the key to success is our process. We guide you step by step, collaborating closely to bring your vision to life. Our goal is to deliver a display that not only captures attention but also sets you apart from the competition.

The steps below highlight the level of detail and expertise we provide, all leading to one outcome: a show-stopping custom booth designed to maximize your impact on the trade show floor.

Step 1 – White Model 

White models provide a quick, cost-effective way to preview the overall flow and functionality of your space before moving into detailed design.

We may even start with a sketch to convert thoughts to visuals.  A white model is a quick way to design flow and functionality for the initial design.   Once this is established, we will begin design drawings

Step 2 – Design Drawings

Frame models give everyone—designers, project managers, and the I&D team—a shared visual of the skeletal structure, ensuring alignment from start to finish.

Now that the flow and functionality direction has been established, it’s time to start adding details.  This is where the design is adjusted until we arrive at the final layout. 

Step 3 – Electrical Layout 

Every design package includes an electrical layout, confirming that power is ordered correctly and cords are placed in the right locations before flooring is installed. 

Our electrical plans are designed with all necessary layout information to be submitted with your electrical order. 

Step 4 – Elevation Layout

Graphic elevations are clearly outlined so your designer can size and prepare every graphic with precision, reducing costly errors.

Step 5 – Final Build Drawing

Once your graphic designer submits the proofs and they are approved the Jpegs will be sent to design and the graphics mapped out in accordance to the graphics designers file designations.

After proofs are approved, graphic JPEGs are applied to the model and labeled, simplifying installation and keeping the process on track.

Step 6 – Final Layout

Your project concludes with a complete set of build drawings, including the graphic layout—these serve as the master reference for production, pull, prep, pack, and installation.

Then we watch your creation come to life on the showroom floor.
