Best P-O-P, Exhibits & Displays of 2018
The p-o-p, exhibits and displays that won a GDUSA award in 2018, each with the firm and the designers credited.
67 award-winning projects
Point-of-purchase displays and trade show exhibits are the last word a brand gets before a buyer decides, at the shelf or on the show floor. The designer works in three dimensions and at two distances, the one that stops a passerby and the one that closes the sale, and the structure has to ship flat and build fast. The winners here stop traffic and then make sense. Andon Guenther Design's Dymatize trade show exhibit took a full page for a booth that read like the packaging, and Burgopak's Thriva test kit made a blood test slide open like a surprise. The best display and exhibit designers in the awards are on this page. Open any project to see the build and learn what makes it work.
