Printed Shell Scheme Graphics

We offer a range of printed shell scheme panels and exhibition panels that are custom made to suit your stand requirements. The 'shell' or hardware is provided by the venue so you only need to purchase graphics to fit your chosen shell scheme space. Transforming your shell scheme couldn't be easier - the printed shell scheme panels simply attach directly on to the frame to create a professional finish.

When you book an exhibition or event space, you may have to choose between a ‘space only’ booking or something with a ‘shell scheme exhibition stand package’. The term ‘shell scheme’ is used to describe the standard interchangeable modular stand system available in exhibition spaces. Traditionally, these are available in 1m modules that can then be constructed to almost any size, usually up to a 20m² area. These pre-constructed trade show stands have anywhere from one to three open sides.

While the event, exhibition or show will supply the basic metal framework, creating a branded look and professional finish for your display is up to you. Investing in a series of shell scheme graphic panels printed with your bespoke branding or marketing designs will make your event space stand out from the crowd.

Shell Scheme Panels

Rollable Shell Scheme Graphics offer edge-to-edge coverage and can be directly fixed to the exhibition stand frame using Velcro or magnetic tape, as you prefer. These lightweight graphics can be rolled up for easy storage; their foldaway design means they are protected during transport and installation.

All of our printed shell scheme panels are manufactured and printed in-house in the UK. Every shell scheme panel undergoes extensive checks throughout the design and printing process to ensure your branding looks bright and eye-catching. Our rollable shell scheme panels are UV-digitally printed in-house using environmentally friendly, water-based ink on to 100% recyclable polyester media. 

We sell shell scheme panels in flat back wall, L-shaped or U-shaped kits in standard sizes up to 5m x 6m. These kits have been designed based on our team’s extensive experience in the exhibition sphere to fit the majority of shell scheme frames. However, if you require a different size or shape from our range of standard shell scheme graphics, please get in touch with our team via our Contact Us page or on 01733 511030 to discuss the options for bespoke sizing.

Frequently Asked Questions

‘Shell scheme’ is a term commonly used in the events and exhibition industry to describe the most common type of space assigned when you book a stand. It typically consists of a box-style construction with vertical poles, with cross poles at the top and bottom for stability. Traditionally these are available in 1m modules which can then be constructed to almost any size, usually up to a 20m² area space. These pre-constructed trade show stands have anywhere from one to three open sides. While the basic premise is the same, the exact construction and layout of a shell scheme will differ for each provider and exhibition space; when you book an event space, you should receive exact specifications from the organiser.

Shell scheme graphics are custom-printed panels in rollable polyester or fabric which showcase your branding or marketing designs to make your event space stand out from the crowd. We sell shell scheme panels in flat back wall, L-shaped or U-shaped kits in standard sizes up to 5m x 6m, to fit the majority of shell scheme frames. However, if you require a different size or shape from our range of standard shell scheme graphics, you can discuss the options for bespoke sizing with our team on 01733 511030. We can provide single-panel shell scheme panels to any size. 

Shell scheme exhibition stands are typically one of the most cost-effective display solutions. They are relatively low-cost and don't require a large budget. The price of a shell scheme stand will vary depending on the size and layout you require. Our shell scheme graphics start from £196 +VAT for our 2m x 2m stands and go up to £588 +VAT for our 5m x 6m graphics. We are committed to getting our customers the highest quality products at the lowest price possible; so we offer a price-match guarantee on our shell schemes. If you are quoted a lower price on any like-for-like product by one of our UK competitors, we will always endeavour to either match it or beat it.

The shell scheme graphic panels are designed to fit snugly within the shell scheme frame. You can choose between hook and loop fastening or magnetic tape fixings to attach them to the metal poles.

There is more to creating a striking and effective shell scheme than just the products you choose (though selecting high-quality, durable shell scheme products is also very important!) Effective planning, clever layout designs, thinking about how you can entertain and engage your visitors and adding a number of finishing touches such as technological accessories can all make a huge difference to your finished display. For more information, check out our blog post: Successful Exhibition Stand Design.

When you book a shell scheme space at an event or exhibition, the organisers should send you the exact dimensions and specifications of the area. This will indicate to you what size shell scheme graphics you need to order.

Shell scheme graphics are designed to be fixed to the aluminium framework of your stand, so they will never achieve a seamless finish. If you desire a ‘seamless’ finish for your exhibition stand, we recommend choosing a tensioned fabric stand, linked pop-up stand or modular lightbox exhibition stand. However, these are all freestanding exhibition displays that can fit within a shell scheme and are not traditional shell scheme graphics.

Yes, all of our shell scheme panels are manufactured to size and printed in-house in the UK. The rollable wall graphics are digitally printed in full colour using water-based ink. They can be manufactured in any size. Just let us know your specifications and how many panels you require for your space.

Foamex shell scheme graphics are rigid and more difficult to transport without risk of breaking them. Roll up shell scheme graphics are easier to store, transport and install. We recommend rollable graphics for any shell scheme exhibition stand.

Shell scheme panels are very easy to install. They have a pre-installed fastening down both vertical sides of the graphic to make installing panels quick and easy. They connect directly to the shell framework. They are lightweight and typically supplied in 1m wide panels.

Yes, all of our shell scheme graphics are durable and high quality, meaning you can reuse them over and over again at different events or exhibitions. However, they do require storage between events. If you need to change the design of your shell scheme panels, you can replace individual panels to update marketing messages while leaving the rest of your scheme intact for a cost-effective update.

Our rollable shell scheme graphics are manufactured from 100% recyclable polyester media and printed in-house using water-based ink. No solvents are used in the manufacturing. Therefore, they are recyclable and reusable.

Shell scheme graphics are printed and made to order specifically for your brand. We don't offer printed panels for hire or lease. Our Shell scheme panels are exceptional value for money and are an affordable, easy to install option for creating an event stand display.
