Exhibition stand hire is a hassle-free event display solution for businesses who want to make a big impact but who don’t have the time to deal with all the intricate details associated with exhibiting.
When it comes to exhibition hire, the possibilities are endless. There is so much variety and industry jargon associated with renting a trade show stand that it’s easy for things to quickly spiral and become confusing.
Our beginners guide to renting an exhibition stand has been designed to give you all the information you need about the stand hire process and our range of Integra™ exhibition stand kits; helping you make the most informed buying decision.
Hire exhibition stands are part of a larger rental service in which you effectively borrow the hardware and stand accessories for an exhibition and return them when you’re done.
Hired display systems are typically a lot larger than traditional portable displays such as pop up stands, and so are commonly used for bigger events and expos. They are not suited to shell scheme spaces because they have their own frame.
The material hire exhibition stands are made can vary, but our Integra™ exhibition stands are made from modular aluminium frames which can be linked together to create any layout or sized display.
When you choose your display stand – whether it’s a pre-determined Integra™ exhibition stand kit or one specifically tailored to your brand – you will get a project manager who will take care of all the event details. You will also get your own designated exhibition stand designer who will design your stand to your brief.
Hired exhibition stands are not portable and can only be installed and dismantled by a team of specialist stand contractors. This means you do not need to worry about setting up or packing away; simply turn up on the day and leave when the event is over.
Rented trade show displays are known by many different names, including:
Exhibition display hire and portable exhibition stands each provide countless benefits to the end user, making choosing between the two somewhat difficult.
Portable displays such as pop up stands and banners are suited towards smaller, localised events. They fit nicely within shell scheme booths and offer plenty of brand exposure. They’re a one-time purchase, meaning you can take the same display to multiple different events. The downside of them is that they’re not large format and offer limited flexibility when it comes to design.
Our exhibition stand design and build service is a rental process whereby you rent out the hardware but own the printed graphics at the end of the event. There are many benefits to using our stand hire service:

Rental displays are typically large format and work well in floor-only spaces, making them perfect for international exhibitions and events where there is a high level of footfall. You don’t need to worry about your paperwork or transporting and building the display stand, so hire stands are ideal if you want to focus completely on your customers. They are often more expensive because of the overall service that is included but are excellent in terms of being hassle-free; plus, they’re completely reusable and so are an eco-friendly solution.
Depending on your marketing campaign and display needs, you can choose from a predetermined Integra® exhibition stand kit, or you can create a bespoke stand using our bespoke stand hire service.
Our kits are priced to include the hardware, graphics and any accessories listed on the product pages. Bespoke stands are charged by square metre size and include the hardware and graphics. If you want additional accessories such as tables, chairs, iPad stands, TV stands, coffee machines, fridges or cupboards, these can be added to your stand.
We offer a wide selection of preconfigured stands, ranging in size from 3m x 3m to 9m x 3m. If you require something larger, we can work with you to create the stand you desire.
When choosing a stand, it’s worth thinking about who will be attending the event, who you’re trying to catch the attention of, what stands have been successful at the same event in previous years, and what will best promote your brand.
We have refined our hire exhibition service to include everything necessary to make your exhibition service as seamless and stress-free as possible.
