Canton Fair (China Import and Export Fair) Booth Design & Build Guide
How to build for this show: Consumer design language
Most exhibitors at Canton Fair (China Import and Export Fair) come from the Consumer Electronics & Consumer Goods sector, so the booth should follow that industry's spatial grammar:
- ·The workhorse pairing is a themed set plus a product wall: the set carries immersion, the wall carries information density
- ·White lacquer and metal as the base, diffusion film to brighten — a clean, retail-grade finish
- ·Accent light first: spot the products so each one reads as stage-lit
- ·Lead with a large lifestyle video wall as the brand's first visual, then let the product wall catch the interest it creates
- ·Don't waste the structural columns — wrap them as brand content panels; two columns are two ad placements

With BoothAI the design and quotation step collapses into a single day, so the time goes where it matters — approvals and logistics.
