What Are Exhibition Totems?

Freestanding totem displays are vertical units used to showcase branding, marketing messages, or product details at an exhibition, event or tradeshow, and retail environments. Designed to be tall and slim, the classic totem helps grab attention from a distance and makes your message unmissable.

Most totem display stands feature double-sided or 360-degree graphics, sturdy bases, and lightweight yet durable construction. Many include options for illuminated panels, interchangeable print graphics, and portable designs for an easy to assemble setup. Whether you need a classic cardboard totem or a more permanent fixture, there is a solution available.

The totem display is popular with marketing teams, event organisers, retailers, and exhibitors. Use a totem stand to highlight key information, direct foot traffic, launch products, or reinforce your brand presence. They work well in exhibition halls, shopping centres, conferences, showrooms, reception areas, and public events.

Benefits of a Totem Stand or Cardboard Display

Choosing a totem stand or cardboard display brings several clear advantages, making them a staple at trade shows and public events.

  • High Visibility: Their vertical design ensures your display stand and message stand out, even in crowded areas.
  • Space-Saving: A totem uses minimal floor space. Often, a stand is a three-sided single-wall structure, leaving more room for other displays or visitors.
  • Versatile Graphics: Easily update or change your print and artwork to keep displays fresh and relevant.
  • Portable and Lightweight: Most models, especially cardboard totem stands, are light to carry, easy to transport, and reposition as needed. Assembly is often simple with this triangle shape and easy fold mechanisms.
  • Durable Construction: Built to withstand busy venues and repeated use, ensuring high durability.
  • Multiple Applications: Use them indoors or outdoors, for promotions, wayfinding, product launches, or brand awareness.

Common settings for a totem display include:

  • Trade fairs and exhibitions
  • Shopping centres and retail stores
  • Reception areas and lobbies
  • Conferences and seminars
  • Product launches and promotional events

Types of Exhibition Totems

Totem display stands come in several styles, each with unique features to suit different needs, from a cost-effective cardboard display stand to premium digital units:

Fabric Totems: Lightweight and easy to set up, fabric totems use tensioned fabric graphics over an aluminium frame. These stretch fabric stands and stretch snake stands are ideal for vibrant, seamless visuals and quick graphic changes.

Illuminated Totems: LED-lit panels draw attention day and night. Illuminated totems highlight your message with a high-quality gloss finish, creating a professional, high-end appearance.

Rigid Panel Totems: Made from durable materials like PVC, aluminium composite, or heavy-duty carton, these rigid display stands offer robust support for long-term use. A classic totem display in this style is great for permanent installations or outdoor events.

Digital Totems: Incorporate digital screens to display animations, videos, or interactive content. You can integrate digital screens to engage audiences with dynamic messaging, perfect for tech-forward brands.

How do I care for and maintain my exhibition totem?
To keep your totem display in top condition, store it in its carry case when not in use. Wipe graphics with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Check for any loose parts before each event. Avoid placing cardboard waste bins or liquids near paper-based units.
