7 Must-Have Print Products to Dominate Your Next Trade Show

Trade shows and events are your brand’s stage. You’ve got seconds to make an impression—so what you bring to your booth matters. At CatalogKings, we know the secret to grabbing attention, starting conversations, and leaving a lasting impact lies in high-quality print materials.

 

Ready to shine on the showroom floor? Here are 7 essential print products to bring with you—and why they matter.

1. Large Format Displays: Be Seen, Be Remembered

Bold visuals stop traffic. From retractable banners to full-wall fabric displays, large format printing gives you the visual real estate to dominate your space.

 

      Perfect for:

  • Defining your booth
  • Branding your back wall
  • Creating Instagram-worthy visuals

2. Custom Table Throws & Signage: Make Every Inch Count

Don’t leave your table naked! Branded table covers and tabletop signs are an easy way to build brand cohesion and stay top-of-mind.

 

      Options include:

  • Printed table throws

  • Foamcore signs
  • Easel signs or pop-up displays

3. Brochures & Info Sheets: Your Pitch, in Print

Even if visitors forget what you said, they’ll remember what you handed them. Brochures give your pitch a second life—and can drive conversions post-event.

 

      Best practices:

  • Keep it clean and skimmable

  • Use QR codes to drive digital engagement

  • Include pricing or service tiers

4. Business Cards: The Networking Powerhouse

Yes, still essential. But they shouldn’t be boring. Premium stock, soft-touch finishes, or creative shapes can elevate your card to mini-billboard status.

 

      Add flair with:

  • Spot gloss or metallic accents
  • Die-cut logos
  • Vertical layouts

5. Event-Ready Swag Packaging

Branded giveaways work best when they look intentional. Don’t just toss freebies on the table—package them in custom-printed boxes, pouches, or tote bags.

 

      Ideas include:

  • Sample kits in branded mailer boxes

  • Sticker packs with custom envelopes

  • Tote bags with full-color logo printing

6. Folders & Sales Kits: Impress VIP Prospects

Meeting potential partners or high-value clients? Hand them a professionally printed folder filled with your pitch materials. It signals professionalism and leaves a lasting impression.

 

      What to include:

  • Product sheets

  • Testimonials

  • Business card slotted into the folder flap

7. Takeaway Stickers, Magnets & More

 

Want brand exposure long after the show? Make your branding sticky—literally. Branded magnets and stickers are easy to distribute and often land on laptops, fridges, or water bottles.

 

Bonus:

They’re fun and get shared more than brochures.
