Promotional Pop Up Counters (Automatic / Manual)

Pop Up Counters for Events and Exhibitions: Automatic and Manual

A promotional pop up counter is a portable exhibition counter that gives your stand a branded front desk for trade shows, retail promotions and events. We supply it in two versions, automatic with no assembly and manual, both custom printed and priced from EUR435 ex VAT.

What a pop up counter is and who uses it

A pop-up counter is a lightweight, foldable display counter that creates an instant welcome point for greeting visitors, lead capture and product demos. It folds into a hard-shell carry case, so it is easy to transport between venues.

The aluminium frame opens to a stable countertop, and the printed graphic wrap turns the unit into an eye-catching exhibition stand and display stand. We make this fabric counter for teams who need a professional display counter without the bulk of built furniture.

• Trade show exhibitors and conference sponsors who need a portable exhibition counter
• Retail and shopping-centre promo teams running sampling or launches
• University comms teams handling open-day wayfinding and a meet and greet area
• Hospitality venues wanting a quick podium for promotional events and recruitment fairs

Automatic vs manual: which to choose

The difference is set-up. The automatic pop up counter rises on a pneumatic gas strut mechanism in seconds without the need for tools, while the manual version assembles by hand at a lower price.

Choose the automatic pop-up counter if you exhibit often or set up solo, since it automatically rises in seconds and packs away just as fast. The manual counter suits teams happy with a little hands-on assembly and a tighter budget. The SURGE automatic pop up counter is our go-to for repeat trade shows.

What is included and the specifications to check

Each counter includes the foldable unit, a custom printed graphic and a hard-shell carry case. Before ordering, check the countertop size, portability and the print finish.

• Foldable counter unit, automatic or manual as selected
• Custom printed graphic wrap in tension fabric on a polyester base, with internal storage and a shelf for storage
• Hard-shell carry case, or carry bag on lighter models, to protect the print in transit

The aluminium build keeps the unit light and easy to transport. The polyester fabric is a durable textile with an extremely durable print, and the SEG silicone-edge graphic sits flush for a clean finish. The countertop gives a steady surface for laptops, brochures and samples.

Customising your graphics

We print full-colour custom printed graphics so you can showcase your brand at any event. Send print-ready artwork and our production team will check it before printing.

Keep the design simple so your headline and logo read at a distance across a busy floor. The fabric graphic can be washed and updated, which protects your investment when branding changes. If you would like design help, we can support your artwork.

Turnaround, delivery and outdoor use

We design, print and deliver across Ireland, with next-day options in Dublin where the schedule allows. These counters are built for indoor exhibition and promotional use.

The unit is best suited to indoor events. Brief outdoor use is possible in sheltered, supervised settings, but wind and rain are not ideal for the textile and frame.
