Heres the tea on safety so you & your product’s don’t bend & snap. This gear’s designed to be portable, modular, and wildly over-engineered for seller life, but here’s how to keep things snappy and pain free (literally).
Also if you notice anything broken already upon shipment or missing hit up on instagram @artistbooths or hello@artistbooths.com. We try our best with attention to detail and we will always resend anything missing/broken in shipment to you for free.
Now go forth. Stand out and sell out without any breakdowns (physical ones at least).
🧩 BOOF build tips
Boofs are modular so what we recommend doesn’t have to be your setup. If you need a bit of ideating help you can always revisit our product thumbnails to see all our best sides and see how we stack up our example setups.
⚖️ Keep It Balanced
Strong booths start with solid foundations think pyramid.
- Heavier stuff goes low, lighter pieces on top.
- Use counterweights or some horizontal panels/wire frames if things feel wobbly.
- Even out your displays — don’t overload one side.v
⏳ Lasting longer tips
Our lightweight legends are mighty but a little care keeps them strong. Treat me like your fave print & do not bend.
️ 🙏Don’t bend and snap me
💡How we want to be handled: Use both hands to push on wire edges that touch the connector your’e going into or use a mallet if not possible.
⛔ How we breakdown - Do not apply bending pressure on the wires inwards to the centre of the panels as each panel has flex limit and its soul and welded joint will snap.
🔒 Pop & lock - slide all the way in but pull out gently.
Always click panels fully into the bottom of each connector
to reduce gradual gaps that add up in uneven setups.
When packing up only pull in the direction of the way
you inserted the connectors will break if bent sideways.
⚠️ Do not step all over me.
They’re slippery like a Mario Kart banana and not into being walked on. Your bones (and your neighbours) will not enjoy this.
❤️🔥We like shade but not getting roasted.
Rain + direct sun can wear down finishes/colours/adhesion keep them under cover at outdoor markets.
👵Natural Wear & Tear
Tiny scuffs, especially near the corners or connector areas, are totally normal. They’re hidden once everything’s snapped together. Think of them as battle scars from artist alley glory.
🏋️ We have our limits
Each four-corner-supported panel can hold up to 5 kg max.
👶 Small Parts, Big Caution
Some pieces (like our connectors) are tiny. Don’t leave them lying around if little humans or curious pets are nearby. They’re not snacks.
✈️ Long distance tips
Wrap the metal parts tightly with your table cover or even our packaging paper so they don’t scratch each other and don’t let anything pointy press on the plastic parts.
Also slap on a fragile sticker at check-in if you’re flyings its free and reduces chances of damage.
Adhesive hooks will stick with your panels — if you let them commit for 24hrs.
- Lay your panel flat, face up.
- Give it a dry wipe-down (no water, no cleaning sprays, no isopropyl). Moisture = betrayal.
- Take your hook + adhesive strip. Peel one side of the perforated backing off and stick it to the back of the hook.
- Peel the other side and press the hook down onto your panel. Apply firm downward pressure for 3–5 seconds.
- Repeat for each hook, then leave your panel completely alone (flat and chill) for 24 hours. No moving. No weight. Let it cook.
Heads-up: Heat and humidity can mess with the bond. Think room temp, not sauna.
⚖️ Folding Hook Weight guide: No more than 100g per hook — that’s usually about approx 4x 4cm enamel pins or approx 6x 5-6cm charms. If your hooks start sagging, they’re telling you something. Remember the overall weight of panels needs to be accounted for in side panels if its getting too heavy.
