Expo West is a sampling show. People leave with armfuls of product and strong opinions about what’s sustainable. Merch that’s reusable and well made fits the room. Disposable plastic doesn’t.

Four pieces we’d bring.

Custom tote bags
People collect samples all day. A strong canvas tote is used right there on the floor, then at the grocery store for years.

Custom water bottles
A refillable bottle matches what this audience already cares about, and it’s used every day.
Custom lip balm
Custom lip balm is small, useful and on-theme for a better-for-you crowd.

Custom pouches
A zip pouch keeps small samples and essentials together. Pick recycled or natural fabrics to match the show.
Booth tips for Expo West.
- 01Reusable over disposable
This audience reads materials. Recycled fabrics, natural canvas and refillables say the right thing about your brand.
- 02Carry the samples
A bag that holds what people collect gets used on the floor all day, which is the best placement you can buy.
- 03Match your pack
If your product has a strong look, borrow it. Merch in your packaging colors gets recognized from across the aisle.
- 04Order early for custom colors
Matched fabric and ink colors add time. Brief us around six months out if you want an exact color match.
- 01Brief
You tell us the event, audience and budget.
- 02Mockups
Concepts with your logo, plus a clear quote.
- 03Production
Sourced, made and checked before it ships.
- 04Delivered
