Illuminated. Affordable. Sustainable. RAN²BOOTH is a booth-construction service that delivers all three at once.
Rent a light-box frame with a glowing wall surface, plus fabric printing. We manage the frames, and your design is reusable from the second show onward. The more you exhibit, the lower your cost.

WHAT / WHY
WHAT
What do we"Illuminated exhibition booths." We provide booths whose entire wall surface glows with LED light — at roughly 30% of the industry's going rate. It combines a light-box structure with a reusable design. We store your fabric, so every show from the second onward costs even less.
WHY
Why do weAcross more than 20 years of building booths for exhibitions and conferences, we kept hearing the same thing: "Exhibiting is too expensive." Booths are built and thrown away every time, and costs balloon as work passes through layer after layer of subcontractors. We launched this business to fix that structural waste.
PROBLEM
System booths and custom wood builds. These two long-standing choices each carry their own problems — and exhibitors keep telling us the same things.
System booths look cheap, yet they cost surprisingly much.
VOICE OF CUSTOMER / 01
Custom wood builds look great, but they blow the budget.
VOICE OF CUSTOMER / 02
Issue 01
$2,000–4,000 per booth unit
Affordable, but limited design
Reusable, yes — but every exhibitor uses the same specs. It's hard to stand out on the show floor.
Issue 02
$3,333–10,000 per booth unit
Looks great, but costly and wasteful
Built from scratch and scrapped every time. Costs never fall, and it generates huge amounts of industrial waste.

The third option
Cost efficiency, striking design, and sustainability — all three, realized.
RAN²BOOTH is exactly that new kind of booth-construction service.
SOLUTION
A unique glowing-wall structure, frames designed for reuse, and a waste-free circular model. One service delivers all three.
01 ─ LIGHT
Fabric prints set into LED-embedded frames. It achieves a full-surface glow that spotlights simply can't.
02 ─ PRICE
With the same design, you skip fabric-printing costs, so every show from the second onward costs far less. Exhibiting 4 times a year, savings of around 70% are possible.
03 ─ SUSTAINABLE
Frames are disassembled and collected by us, and the fabric is carried out too. The plywood and lumber waste of wood builds simply never occurs.
01 ─ LIGHT
A technique that sets fabric prints into LED-embedded frames. It delivers a striking spatial presence no point-source spotlight can match — the whole wall surface glowing evenly.
The entire wall glows evenly
The LED frame and fabric print combine to light the surface uniformly from within.
The fabric is unnoticeable, even up close
With precisely tensioned fabric, visitors rarely realize it's fabric at all. The finish rivals a custom wood build.
Visible from afar, even in dim halls
In high-ceilinged halls where light levels drop, the glowing wall catches the eye from a distance — helping stop visitors at your booth.
02 ─ PRICE
We compress construction, labor, and transport costs all at once — creating a large cost gap versus custom wood builds.
Because frames simply snap together, no skilled handcrafting is needed, compressing the labor that dominates setup costs.
Fabric folds up and frames ship compactly, cutting both transport cost and unloading time.
Frames disassemble and fabric folds, greatly shrinking storage space and cost.
* Actual savings vary by scale and frequency. The above compares a 10-booth-unit (15m×6m) build against a custom wood build.
03 ─ SUSTAINABLE
We reuse the frames long-term, and reprint only the parts of the fabric that need it — bringing the waste of every past show close to zero.
Frame disassembly + fabric collection only
We disassemble and collect the frames and carry out the fabric. By design, the plywood and lumber waste of wood builds never occurs.
5+ years of use
We own and manage the LED-embedded frames and reuse them across many shows, so no resources go to waste.
Only the changed sections
If the design is unchanged, the fabric is reused as-is. Reprint only what changes — like new product info — to keep costs down.

DECISION MATERIALS
10a / MARKET
After the pandemic, Japan's exhibition market has recovered and expanded around in-person events. Studies show that the more often a company exhibits, the more results it sees.

What companies that get results at exhibitions have in common
PATTERN 01
Exhibit repeatedly
Companies that have exhibited 2+ times in the past 3 years tend to see stronger results. Don't judge on a single show; exhibit multiple times with improvement in mind.
PATTERN 02
Raise visitor quality with pre-show outreach
Exhibitors who secure visit bookings in advance via DM, invitation emails, and social posts capture business cards more efficiently on the day. The key is not to bet everything on the show days alone.
PATTERN 03
Rank leads right after capture
Sort into hot/warm/cold and pass them to sales/call teams the same day, enabling follow-up from the very next day.
10b / ESG
On the final day, most custom wood booths are processed as industrial waste. By reusing frames and storing/reprinting fabric, RAN²BOOTH keeps waste close to zero.
Contributes to SDGs 9 (industry, innovation & infrastructure), 12 (responsible consumption & production), and 13 (climate action).
10c / TECHNOLOGY
Overseas, this method is used by the likes of Cartier, CHANEL, Apple, and Mercedes-Benz, yet it has barely spread in Japan.
Light-box adoption (international comparison)
A conservative industry
Most vendors specialize in custom wood builds. They are reluctant to adopt new methods, and wood construction carries higher margins for them.
The misconception that "fabric looks cheap"
In reality, proper tensioning and the right fabric yield a very flat finish — hard to identify as fabric even up close.
An immature domestic supply chain
Few domestic factories can mass-produce light-box frames, and fabric-printing and sewing vendors are scarce, keeping prices high.
Our main partner factories hold third-party test reports conducted to international standards.
