The Neo Pop Up Stand is the Latest Offering from Space Display

With demand for low cost pop up stands increasing, the UK is seeing an emergence of economy pop up stands from manufacturers in the Far East. We take a look at the Neo pop up stand which is sold by Space Display UK Limited to see if this display stacks-up to similar economy stands from other manufacturers.

The Neo pop up stand is an economy pop up display stand which bears a close resemblance to the Xpress pop up stand from Ultima Displays in terms of the yellow plastic hubs combined with silver frame tubing.

The Neo pop up stand uses a square extruded tube rather than the round tubing used on the majority of pop up stands found on the UK market today. Traditionally, we associate such square tubing with cheaper Chinese manufactured imports or very old systems and as such we think that the selection of such shape extruded profile is a mistake.

The Neo pop up stand uses magnetic locking arms as is the case on competing pop up stands from Plex Display and Ultima which makes locking the frame in the upright position fast and simple. The graphic hanging kits on the Neo Pop Up Display are the magnetic type as employed on Ultima Express pop up stands. Although functional, the design of the hangers looks a little rough but as a low-cost economy type pop up display, this is to be expected.

The Neo pop up stand comes supplied in a choice of only two sizes being 3×3 and 3×4 in a curved shape only. As a one-off display solution, this is acceptable given that most stands sold are this configuration and size however for exhibitors who are buying-into kit with a view to expand later, it is restrictive.

The display is shipped with a wheeled case, hinged top and a pair of lights at a discount price available for resale through a number of distributors at low prices. It is worth noting however that similar systems from more established brands are also available for purchase online at equivalent prices. The purchase of an Express pop up system if available at a similar cost would be a better investment in our opinion.

For the exhibition and events calendar, the summer holidays is usually a time in which suppliers of pop up stands enjoy a relatively quiet workload. The school holidays and the events calendar are inexplicably linked, thus many suppliers of pop up stands are prepared to do some great deals.

Pop Up Stands which some suppliers sell for around £1,000 can be picked up at literally half the cost and of course the slow-down enables many pop up stand suppliers to re-organise warehouses leading to offers on end of line displays and availability of clearance stock at wholesale prices.

As well as grabbing a pop up stand at a bargain price, you can always beat the rush which occurs when many unprepared businesses leave the organisation of their new display stand until the 11th hours before that all-important show starts in September.

If you are deliberating about purchasing a pop up stand then we would advise to search carefully. Google is a great place to start and you should first decide on the product you require and get like for like quotations from as many suppliers of pop up stands as you can find.

Pop-up displays are also the most versatile and easy to transport exhibitions stands, allowing for endless re-use at a great price. “Depending on the size of your pop-up stand, it is also advisable to place your display in a more high traffic area, near refreshments or even near the entrance to the exhibition hall; so even if you’re display isn’t the biggest, it will be the most viewed”.

Pop-up displays come in a range of sizes depending on budget and requirements, users can opt for an L-shaped pop-up display, or a curved pop-up display with a magnetic locking system to hold the stand firmly in place.
