The site says the company has been in business for nearly 100 years, and elsewhere over 90 years. Originally its main business was designing and manufacturing billboards, showrooms and other early three dimensional media, and it was among the first to offer trade show exhibit design, construction and related trade show services. During World War II, Adcraft produced parts for the Trojan Horse CG-10 glider for the US Army. Adcraft is family-owned, family-led and family-operated, and has employed generations of families including four generations of Blantons. The site states that when you talk to Adcraft, you are talking directly to Adcraft ownership. Today the company designs and fabricates custom exhibits for trade shows, corporate exhibit showrooms, lobby displays and museums. Location and areas served. Adcraft is positioned in the middle of the USA, in St. Louis. The about page explains why that matters: freight can sometimes be as much as 30 percent of an overall exhibit cost, and being centrally located to the major exhibit locations it names, Las Vegas, Orlando, Dallas, Chicago and New York, lets Adcraft ship point-to-point without breaking the budget. The company also says it has experience in virtually every city where trade shows happen. The address appears as 2656 Washington Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63103 on most pages and as 2656 Washington Avenue on the about page. Sustainability. Adcraft says it takes measures to reduce the energy it uses and to recycle waste and unused materials, and describes this as an ongoing process. A separate sustainability policy page is linked. No hours, no staff licences or certifications and no prices are published on the site.

That service runs from the initial conversation with the customer through design, fabrication, delivery and set-up of an exhibit, all with in-house professional services. Adcraft calls itself a turn-key provider, and says its in-house construction capabilities let it build even the most complex designs. The team named on the page includes carpenters, electricians, sign makers and metal workers described as knowing the trade show industry inside and out. The page sums this up as "Whatever we design, we can build." Support continues after the show. The published after-show services are shipping, warehousing, maintaining and refurbishing the exhibit. Adcraft says total service capabilities mean the customer benefits from a controlled process and an end product distinguished by convenience, quality control and cost-savings. Custom exhibits are described as suiting a big trade show event, a company lobby or a training room. Adcraft compares a custom design exhibit to building a house that you then stand in for eight hours a day making sales. Getting to know the customer, their trade show objectives and their business is described as only the first step, after which several phases follow so that nothing goes without consideration. A custom photo gallery of past work is linked from the page. No prices, rates or cost figures for custom design or fabrication appear on this page. To get a quote or estimate for a custom exhibit, contact Adcraft by phone or through the contact form.

The page describes advanced framing components from companies such as Aluvision, which it says have taken over the custom development side of the business. These lightweight components are used to fabricate walls, floors, dividers, ceilings, rooms and video walls. The parts snap, click and bolt together, replacing what was once made of wood and steel. Frame sizes are described as easy to handle, and one large SEG, a Silicone Edge Graphic, can run seamlessly over several frames. A rigid panel can be placed behind the fabric, for example for doors, and fabrics and panels can be alternated. Adcraft calls it the most efficient concept in terms of reusability and flexibility of wall and ceiling frames. Most frames come with an anodized or black powder coated finish as standard, and other colours are available on request. With Aluvision, the page says, any shape of room or dividing wall can be created, and Adcraft designers provide CAD drawings to help plan and shape the exhibit. Museum work. Adcraft states it has partnered with many museums and visitors' centres to bring cultural exhibits to life. The named example is Houston's National Museum of Funeral History, where Adcraft says it designed, produced and installed many exhibits. Related services listed elsewhere on the site include corporate office interior design, corporate exhibit showrooms and lobby displays. Environments and museum galleries are linked from the page. No prices, rates or project cost figures are published for environments or museum work; contact Adcraft for a quote or estimate.

The rental page says rental exhibits are all about options, from design and configuration to the types of materials used, and that virtually every design is somewhat custom formed to fit the customer's needs. What is rented is the materials used in the design; the customer keeps their own graphic banners, signage, video panels and floor displays. Rentals are described as units of materials, piping, joints, nuts and bolts, which Adcraft then custom designs into a configuration. Rentals can be as small as a 10' x 10' or as large as a double decker island exhibit. Reasons given for renting are saving on materials and on shipping crates, which the page says do not last more than four or five shows before needing repair or replacement. Other reasons listed are a trial exhibit at a new untested trade show, a rarely held show, or a show that conflicts with another major event. Rental units are described as flexible and adaptable for graphics, shelving, lighting and AV. The page states that a portion of the rental cost can be applied to the purchase of the unit. Portables. Portable exhibit units are described as lightweight systems for conferences, trade shows, traveling road shows, seminars and promotional events, with easier set-up and take-down and less maintenance. They can usually be assembled by one person, fit any linear space from 10 to 100 feet, are reusable with replaceable graphics on the same frame, and reduce freight expense, in some cases travelling as checked luggage. Adcraft says portables are inexpensive compared with full size custom or rental exhibits. No rental rates, portable prices or cost figures are published for either.

The comprehensive trade show services published are exhibit design, exhibit installation and dismantle, trade show logistics, exhibit storage, exhibit management and trade show marketing services. Show site logistics. When operating a large exhibit, Adcraft says it brings its own equipment and people to keep the exhibit clean and well-managed. Services range from unloading and moving an exhibit to its booth location, to replacing show crates in a safe and accessible manner. Electricity, cleaning, and possibly carpet, chairs and tables are named as items that can be handled through show services. The list given is: install and dismantle, shipping, trade show coordination, A/V, and multimedia coordination. Installation and dismantling. On-site supervision generally includes installation and dismantle of the exhibit. The page notes that the level of support needed depends on the hall and the city, and that many exhibit halls are controlled union shops. The on-site supervision team is present during the entire installation, and can assist with show services such as rigging, electrical and drayage. Graphic design and printing. Adcraft works with a customer's internal or external design teams, or provides design itself. It has a full array of printing equipment. The printing services listed are trade show graphics printing, trade show banners, trade show signs, banner stands, retractable banners, large format printing, commercial printing, vinyl graphics printing and window clings. Warehousing and storage. Adcraft maintains over 100,000 square feet of storage for exhibiting properties, in a climate-controlled environment under 24/7/365 security, plus a large space to set up a full display of an exhibit for review and planning. For customers who frequent a particular city such as Las Vegas, Adcraft says it has alliance companies that offer warehousing there. No prices, rates or fees for any of these services are published.
