Ultraflexx makes a printable carpet you can run in almost all the Grand Format machines, you could save a lot of money by just printing a graphic and applying it to the standard flooring you get at the show. They have special adhesives now specifically for carpet applications.

This is what you can print on or have printed on if you are outsourcing.

Too bad google cant tell me real life experiences from people in my industry who have dealt with these products from a wholesale distributor. But yeah.. I googled my heart out and saw some disappointing websites and noone that particularly advertised "wholesale or trade only"

Have you and your client done a cost analysis of what the long term cost of doing this is?

I was in the trade show world for a few years and shipping a 10x10 carpet around was considered cost prohibitive by just about everyone. One client wanted a custom look so they had carpet tiles shipped around. They didn't exhibit much but I remember just shipping the boxes out cost a few hundred bucks and that didn't even include drayage or additional labor cost. They thought they were saving because they happened to have the tiles from an office renovation. The reality is, whatever they "saved" was gone after the first show.

+1 to this! Especially for the drayage (materials handling costs for the venue to/from bring materials from the dock to the show floor). These fees can range on average from $97/$149 per hundred weight which gets rounded up the nearest hundred. If its a client that does small shows and small venues it becomes less of an issue. Labor is its on monster depending on the venue and more specifically if its a union location. There are some venues we setup exhibits at that will not allow anyone except the labor guys to touch anything and all we can do is supervise them at $100-$150 per hour per laborer. Sorry for the rant, but after being in the sign industry for 20 years and moving to the exhibit world, its a totally different mindset.
