Scenic Cubes for Nationwide Events: Reducing Drayage Costs & Fixing the Budget Void

Event budgets are tighter than ever. One of the biggest hidden drains? Shipping and drayage fees for bulky scenic sets. Traditional stage backdrops are heavy, expensive to move, and slow to assemble—creating a budget void before your event even begins.
Modern Event Rental’s 2×2 scenic cubes solve that. They ship compact, assemble without tools, and brand beautifully, giving corporate events, trade shows, and conventions a high-impact backdrop without the financial headache.

The Budget Problem with Traditional Scenic Sets
- High drayage & freight: Oversized flats and hard sets balloon shipping and handling at major venues.
- Labor-heavy installs: Tools, hardware, and long crew hours add cost and risk.
- Limited branding: Pipe & drape is clean—but not a storytelling surface.
- Single-use waste: One-and-done builds strain both budgets and sustainability goals.
How Scenic Cubes Fix the Budget Void
1) Compact Shipping = Lower Drayage
Our cubes are engineered to ship flat and lightweight, cutting freight size and reducing drayage charges at convention centers nationwide.
2) Tool-Free Assembly = Lower Labor
Panels snap and lock in place—no tools required—so scenic walls go up in minutes instead of hours. Faster load-ins, fewer crew hours, smoother show flow.
3) Modular & Scalable (Up to ~12 ft)
Each cube is 2 ft × 2 ft. Stack and connect them to build walls, towers, and stage backdrops up to ~12 feet—from intimate meetings to large general sessions.
4) Brand-Ready Surfaces (+ LED)
Smooth acrylic panels are ideal for vinyl wraps, logos, and sponsor graphics. Add LED illumination for a glowing, on-brand scenic presence.
5) Reusable & Sustainable
Durable aluminum frames and acrylic panels are designed for repeat use across roadshows and multi-city tours—lowering total cost and waste.
