What is Build By Numbers™?

It’s your Answer to Easy Assembly

—

Build by Numbers™ is a unique system of assembling trade show displays created by ExpoDisplays to make setting up a display fast and foolproof. The heart of the system mimics “paint by numbers,” a system of teaching painting invented and popularized in the 1950s. Build by Numbers is proprietary to ExpoDisplays’ line of portable/modular trade show products.

How Does It Work?

Build By Numbers_Step 1

START

with #1

Build By Numbers_Step 2

FIND

matching part #

Build By Numbers_Step 3

CONNECT

the parts in sequence

At the point where one part connects to another part is a number label. To assemble the product you simply match numbers and connect in sequence.
To start, simply find the two parts labeled with a “1” and connect them. Then connect 2 to 2, 3 to 3, and 4 to 4 until done.

What’s Easier than 1-2-3 ?

Why are there other labels on
my ExpoDisplays product?

Those are Parts Labels and System Labels which are innovative features of the Build by Numbers system. The Part Label has a part number to make it easy for you to order a replacement if the part gets damaged. System Labels indicates what component each part is used to make. System labels are also color-coded for exhibits with multiple components. Parts connect to similarly colored parts. Blue parts are used with other blue parts for example but are never used with red.

Do I Even Need Assembly Instructions?

Although the Build by Numbers system does not require instructions, we include them. They are useful to know what the display will look like when completed. And useful for placement of graphics. But as long as you follow the numbers, even without instructions you cannot assemble the product wrong.
