Double-Deck Exhibit Rental — PACK EXPO International, Chicago

Design overview

Use the design as a starting point, then scope it for your show.

Designed for exhibitors headed to the biennial Chicago edition of PACK EXPO International at McCormick Place, this 20x20 double-deck exhibit rental turns a 400 square foot island into a two-level meeting and demo environment without giving away the aisle-level selling space that makes a smaller island work. The lower deck is organized around a modular aluminum structural grid with clear reception approach on two corners, a controlled demo edge, and a front LED video wall wall that can carry launch loops, product proof points, and timed presentations instead of static print alone. The upper deck is intentionally compact rather than oversized, which keeps the stair run efficient, preserves ground-floor visibility, and creates a private hospitality zone for qualified conversations above the show-floor noise. For packaged goods, processing, automation, and industrial exhibitors that need product storytelling and executive meetings in one footprint, that split-level plan solves a real space problem instead of just adding height for drama. The system story is the reason this design works. modular aluminum frame spans handle the deck-support geometry while LED video wall tiles cover the primary presentation wall so motion graphics live inside the architecture instead of hanging on as an afterthought. modular aluminum infill and lightbox surfaces can take the secondary message bands, while the deck rail and stair geometry stay disciplined enough to remain inside common general-contractor line-of-sight expectations for neighboring exhibitors. That matters at crowded halls where a double-deck exhibit cannot afford sloppy sight obstructions, overscaled rail graphics, or stair placement that blocks the natural front-corner approach. The result is a show-floor plan that reads engineered, not improvised. For buyers, this 20x20 double-deck rental is priced and planned as a modular program. The cost conversation starts with frame footage, LED tile count, crate count, stair fabrication, deck-load engineering, labor hours, and venue-specific material handling rather than a vague allowance. A working budget typically moves with approximately 148 linear feet of frame, 18 LED tiles, 4 packed crates, one primary stair, one service stair return, and labor assumptions near 34 install hours plus dismantle, drayage, electrical drops, and hanging-sign coordination if the program adds overhead branding. That engineering-first breakdown gives buyers a faster way to compare this design against a single-level island that may look cheaper online but often loses back when meetings, LED messaging, and hospitality all have to fit on one plane. For teams that need a double-deck trade show exhibit rental with practical circulation, LED storytelling, and a second-level meeting zone they can actually use, this design gives TSER a stronger answer for PACK EXPO, IMTS, and other heavy-traffic convention programs. It is built for exhibitors who want modular aluminum discipline, modular aluminum compatibility, and a quote process rooted in scope variables instead of guesswork.
