Frequently Asked Questions About Xibit Solutions

Xibit Solutions designs, builds, and rents trade show booths, and handles everything around them: graphics production, freight and drayage coordination, on-site installation and dismantling, storage between shows, and post-show support. Exhibitors work with one company across all exhibit services instead of coordinating separate design, fabrication, freight, and labor vendors.

Richard Spinella founded Xibit Solutions in 2001 and remains a Founding Partner. He entered the exhibit industry in 1987 building crates for a CES project, moved into account management at the largest general contractor for trade shows and events in the United States in 1993, and served as National Director of Exhibit Sales at Hoffend Xposition beginning in 1999. More on his background is on the Xibit Solutions about page.

Xibit Solutions has built booths for Porsche Design Eyewear, TP-Link, Norma Precision, Hispasat, CardCash, Elle Jewelry, and Keratage, among others. Client work spans technology, automotive, fashion, firearms, food and beverage, telecommunications, and industrial manufacturing. Examples across booth types and industries are in the trade show booth gallery.

Xibit Solutions was founded in September 2001 and has 20+ years in the trade show industry. The founding team brought more than 16 years of prior industry experience into the company, which puts nearly 40 years of combined industry knowledge behind its leadership.

Yes. Xibit Solutions won Best Booth Design at the 2014 Pawn Expo at the Mirage in Las Vegas for the CardCash booth, recognized by the National Pawnbrokers Association. Xibit Solutions also won Best of Show at WWD MAGIC for a 10’x20′ booth designed for Elle Jewelry.

Both. Xibit Solutions fabricates fully custom exhibits in its North Las Vegas facility and also offers custom-designed booth rentals for exhibitors who prefer not to own and store a booth. The same design team handles both, so a rental goes through the same concept, rendering, and approval process as a purchase.

No. Xibit Solutions configures its inventory of panels, truss, counters, shelving, lighting, and flooring into a layout designed for each client, then prints custom graphics for the entire booth. Attendees see a booth built around your brand rather than a stock kit.

Yes. Xibit Solutions produces all booth graphics and large-format printing in its North Las Vegas facility, covering backwalls, hanging signs, tension fabric lightboxes, floor graphics, banners, and dimensional lettering. Because production is in-house, replacement graphics can be printed quickly if something is damaged during a show.

Yes. Xibit Solutions holds contracts with trade show-approved union laborers in major exhibition cities and manages credentialing, scheduling, and jurisdictional compliance. Exhibitors do not negotiate with union halls or show contractors directly.

Yes. Xibit Solutions offers climate-controlled warehouse storage in Las Vegas with inventory tracking and condition reporting, then ships the booth directly to your next show. Storage is optional for clients who own their exhibit and is built into rentals.

Xibit Solutions builds island booths at 20’x20′ and larger, linear inline booths from 10’x10′ up to 10’x50′, peninsula booths for end-cap positions, multi-level booths with second-story meeting space, and pavilion spaces housing multiple exhibitors. Modular and portable displays are also available for companies attending several shows a year with varying space assignments.

A Xibit Solutions rental includes custom booth design with 3D renderings, all structural components, graphic design and printing, delivery to the venue, union labor coordination, complete installation, an on-site coordinator during the show, dismantling, and removal. Exhibitors provide their brand assets, their products, and their staff.

Yes. Xibit Solutions provides installation and dismantling services with a supervisor on site directing the crew from the approved design plans. The booth is assembled, graphics installed, and lighting set before show opening, and the same team packs and removes everything after the show closes.

Yes. Xibit Solutions coordinates crating, freight scheduling, bills of lading, advance warehouse delivery, and drayage with the show’s official contractor. For international exhibitors, Xibit Solutions also handles customs documentation, temporary import bonds, and freight forwarder coordination.

Yes. Xibit Solutions handles touch-up painting, structural repair, component replacement, electrical and lighting testing, and graphic updates on booths in storage. Owned booths can also be reconfigured for a different footprint, such as adapting a 20’x20′ modular structure down to a 10’x20′ space.

Xibit Solutions is located at 4420 Andrews St, Ste A, North Las Vegas, NV 89081. Design, fabrication, graphics printing, and warehousing all happen at that facility.

Xibit Solutions has built booths for CES, SEMA, WWD MAGIC, SHOT Show, World of Concrete, International Builders’ Show, NADA Show, the Fancy Food Show, Pawn Expo, and Siggraph, among many others. Show dates and exhibitor guides are on the national trade show calendar.

No. Xibit Solutions serves clients nationwide and ships and installs booths across the United States, working with a network of union labor in other exhibition cities. Being based in Las Vegas is an advantage for shows like CES, SEMA, MAGIC, and World of Concrete, where local storage and same-day response shorten timelines.

Yes. Xibit Solutions works with international companies exhibiting in the United States and keeps in-house consultants who assist clients in several native languages. That team also handles customs paperwork, carnets, and the U.S. show requirements that first-time international exhibitors usually have questions about.

Xibit Solutions quotes each project individually because cost depends on booth size, structure, materials, graphics, and which services are included. Rentals are offered at several package levels so exhibitors can match spend to the goals for a specific show. Send your show, booth space, and budget range to request an estimate.

Xibit Solutions fabricates booths and prints graphics in its own North Las Vegas facility rather than outsourcing to third parties, which removes the middleman markups that get passed on to exhibitors. In-house production also shortens turnaround times and reduces coordination costs across vendors.

No. Consultations and estimates from Xibit Solutions are free, including initial design direction and budget guidance. There is no obligation to move forward after receiving a quote.

Buying generally makes sense for companies that attend the same shows year after year, have a stable product line and message, and will use the booth at least three times. Renting makes sense for occasional exhibitors, first-time exhibitors, companies with different booth sizes across shows, and anyone without storage space. Xibit Solutions covers the tradeoffs in its guide on renting versus purchasing a trade show booth.

A custom build with Xibit Solutions typically runs a few months from kickoff to show floor. Design concepts take about 2 to 3 weeks, detailed planning and prototyping another 2 to 4 weeks, and production 4 to 8 weeks depending on complexity, with on-site installation taking 1 to 3 days.

Xibit Solutions starts with a consultation covering brand objectives, target audience, budget, and venue requirements, then presents booth concepts with 3D renderings and detailed floor plans. Designs are refined through revision rounds before materials and engineering are finalized. Clients approve the booth visually before anything is built.

Xibit Solutions resolves it on site. The team sources replacement parts locally, prints replacement graphics at its facility, works with show contractors on delayed freight, and adjusts the installation timeline so the booth is ready before doors open. Move-in problems are handled by Xibit Solutions rather than passed back to the exhibitor.

Often, yes. Xibit Solutions accommodates short-notice rental requests because rental components are already in inventory and graphics are printed on site. Elaborate custom builds require more lead time, so contact Xibit Solutions as soon as your show schedule is set.

Yes. Every Xibit Solutions exhibitor has access to a sales coordinator or customer service representative during the show for repairs, adjustments, graphic replacements, and lighting or AV issues. Many clients have a dedicated support person on site, particularly on opening day.

Yes. Xibit Solutions guides first-time exhibitors through booth sizing, realistic budgeting, feature selection, and what to expect on the show floor. Linear inline booths from 10’x10′ to 10’x30′ are a common starting point, and many first-time clients later move up to peninsula or island spaces.

Yes. Xibit Solutions runs a post-show debrief covering what drew traffic, how the layout performed, which elements supported conversations, and what to change next time. Those notes carry into the next build so each show improves on the last.
