Backlit Trade Show Displays
Light Up Your Booth and Draw More Attention
Backlit trade show displays are one of the easiest ways to stand out on the show floor. Bright, bold, and modern, they attract attention from across the aisle and give your brand an extra visual edge.
At Storm Displays, we build high-impact backlit systems that are lightweight, easy to set up, and custom-branded for your message. Whether you need a full backlit booth or just want to enhance your current setup, we’ll help you make it shine.
