Podium Customization Options

 

SoapBoxx podiums are built around a simple idea: start with the right podium shape, then configure the finish, branding, and audio to match your venue and use case.

This page explains the customization process across all SoapBoxx podium series. If you already know what you want, jump to your preferred model and start configuring.

Compare podium models and choose your series to begin.


Customizable Options

Step 1: Choose Your Podium Model

Start by selecting the SoapBoxx podium series that fits your space, audience size, mobility needs, and the features you plan to add (like audio components or industry-specific accessories).

  • Classic Series – The flagship full-size podium built for everyday speaking environments.
  • Tabletop Series – Compact, professional presentation for tables, counters, and smaller rooms.
  • Traveler Series – Portable by design for speakers and teams that move between venues.
  • [Fourth Series] – Add your fourth core model here (best for specialized needs or specific environments).

Once you choose a series, the configuration steps below guide the rest of your build.

  1. Black Granite – Black textured finish
  2. Brown Granite – Dark brown with bronze and tan speckling
  3. Gray Granite – Dark gray with black and white speckles

Step 3: Choose Insert Color or Pattern

Each podium includes a removable front insert panel. Inserts are designed to be swapped so your podium can match different rooms, events, or branding over time.

All inserts are built with Duramine® Thermally Fused Laminate (TFL) for long-term durability and a professional finish.

  1. Textured Black
  2. Polar White
  3. Silver Gray
  4. Gray Barnwood
  5. Alabama Cherry
  6. Macassar Ebony
  7. Classic Oak
  8. Dark Mahogany
  9. Medium Sycamore
  10. Black Granite
  11. White Maple

Swap inserts seasonally, by venue, or per event—without replacing the podium.

Step 4: Choose Microphone Options

Choose the microphone setup that matches your room size, audio needs, and whether you prefer wired reliability or wireless movement.

  1. No Microphone
  2. Gooseneck Microphone
  3. Wired Microphone
  4. Wireless Microphone

Microphone choices can be paired with speaker options in the next step for a complete sound setup.

Step 5: Choose Audio and Speaker Options

SoapBoxx podium shapes are patented and designed with functional internal space so audio and accessories can be integrated cleanly—without turning the podium into a tangled cable project.

  • No speaker
  • Pre-wired audio with Integrator Dashboard
  • Built-in front speaker
  • External speaker options
  • Built-in + external speaker combinations

If you’re outfitting a larger room, check your series options for the best audio-ready configuration.

Step 6: Choose Personalization Options

Need a podium branded for your organization—or the ability to change branding per event? Choose an option that matches how often your message changes.

  1. Front Sign Holder: Attached 8.5" x 11" black framed sign holder. Print a standard letter-size sign and slide it in. Change logos, event names, and messaging in minutes. Ideal for trade shows, wedding venues, business presentations, speakers, book readings, and recurring events.
  2. Custom Vinyl Wrapped Insert: We can wrap an insert with your logo, text, or a full custom design. Provide your artwork, or have our team assist with a clean, professional layout.

Want multiple branding looks? Many customers order one primary insert plus additional inserts for specific events.

Benefits

SoapBoxx podiums are designed to be durable, adaptable, and easy to live with—whether they stay in one room or move between venues.

One-Piece Shell Construction

Every SoapBoxx podium shell is molded as a single piece of durable polyethylene. This eliminates weak seams and reduces the risk of structural failure. It also means no assembly is required—unbox, place, and present.

Designed for Real-World Functionality

Patented podium shapes create space and structure for add-ons like audio components and industry-specific needs—without compromising stability or a clean appearance.

Removable Inserts Built to Last

Swap inserts anytime to match your venue or event. Inserts are made with Duramine® Thermally Fused Laminate for a durable finish that holds up to frequent use.

Easy to Move and Transport

SoapBoxx podiums are made for the way venues actually work. If your podium needs to move from room to room—or roll into storage—choose a model with built-in mobility features and configure it for your setup.

Instead of struggling with heavy wood podiums, SoapBoxx gives you a durable podium that’s easier to reposition without sacrificing stability at the mic.

Made in the USA

SoapBoxx podiums are manufactured in the United States, using durable materials and consistent production standards. Domestic manufacturing also supports long-term parts availability and product support.

See our Made in the USA podium standards.

Built for Industry-Specific Needs

One reason SoapBoxx podiums perform so well across industries is that the design supports practical add-ons and specialized requirements.

Depending on the model and configuration, podiums can be adapted for use cases like:

  • Integrated audio equipment in rear panel space
  • Secure locked storage for valet operations or controlled environments
  • Menu or document organization for hospitality settings
  • Event-specific branding that changes in minutes

If you’re configuring a podium for a niche environment, choose your model first, then select options that match your workflow.

Podium Customization FAQs

What should I choose first when customizing a podium?

Start with the podium model/series. The model determines the footprint, storage, mobility, and the best fit for audio and accessories. After that, choose shell color, insert finish, and any audio or branding upgrades.

Are the front inserts interchangeable?

Yes. Inserts are removable and designed to be swapped, so you can change styles over time or keep multiple inserts for different venues and events.

What are SoapBoxx inserts made from?

SoapBoxx inserts are made with Duramine® Thermally Fused Laminate (TFL) panels for durability, scratch resistance, and a professional finish.

Can I add audio equipment later?

In many configurations, yes. SoapBoxx podium shapes are designed to support audio and accessory integration in a clean, serviceable way. The best approach is choosing the right series first so your podium is audio-ready from the start.

Do I have to assemble the podium when it arrives?

No. SoapBoxx shells are one-piece construction, so you don’t have to assemble structural panels. Depending on what you order, you may only need to place optional accessories.

Can I brand a podium for different events?

Yes. The sign holder option allows fast swaps using standard letter-size prints, and vinyl wrapped inserts provide a premium permanent branding solution. Many customers use both depending on how often messaging changes.
