Even in this day and age of digital communication and social media, attending an exhibition can give great benefits and for many businesses is often the only way to carry out face-to-face marketing with their customers and prospects. When done well exhibitions can yield many more sales leads than any other type of marketing. Attending an exhibition is hard work and can be expensive in terms of both time and money but the rewards are very beneficial.

If you are planning to exhibit at a trade show this year we offer a wide variety of display solutions, including portable displays. However, to really make your mark and stand out at your next event, why not consider a bespoke exhibition stand? This is an exhibition stand designed specifically for you to showcase your business to its best. Bespoke doesn’t necessarily mean expensive. We can work within your budget to provide a stand which will meet your requirements and more.

We can offer you so many options for a bespoke exhibition stand, here are just a few ideas to give you inspiration.

Linked Pop Ups

The most amazing exhibition stands can be created by using the humble pop up stand as its foundation. Linked pop up stands are pop ups which are skilfully connected to create any configuration and sized stand that you require. With clever graphic design, individual pop up stands are joined using linking graphic panels. On the face of it, no one would know that your bespoke exhibition stand is simply linked pop up stands!

The beauty of using pop up stands is that they are so easy to use – each frame simply pops up and the graphic panels are attached. This makes assembly and disassembly easy and quick. All components of each pop up stand will pack away into the wheeled cases provided making even the biggest linked pop up stand portable and easy to transport and store.

Add in other display stands and accessories, such as roller banners, fabric arches, hanging structures, seating options, promotional counters, literature stands and iPad displays, and you can create a truly unique, yet functional, exhibition stand.

Centro Exhibition Stands

Centro is a modular display system which is flexible and versatile. Our range of Centro exhibition stands offers a variety of options for all stand shapes and sizes.

Centro based on a unique RotrLink connection system whereby poles and rails simply twist and lock together and the rails attach easily to the poles to build the Centro frame. Graphic panels are then attached to the frame using magnetic tape. Easy to assemble and disassemble, Centro also comes with wheeled case for easy storage and transport.

Using this foundation as a building block you can then join further Centro stands and accessories to create a bespoke exhibition stand which meets your needs perfectly. Accessories, such as display pods, lighting, promotional counters, shelving and AV stands, will create a stunning and professional display.

As Centro is a modular system, all components are compatible with each other meaning the stand can be reconfigured for different uses or can be added to in the future to create a large stand when budget or marketing needs allow.

Shell Scheme Graphics

A cost-effective way of creating a bespoke exhibition stand is to purchase shell scheme graphics. As the ‘shell’ or hardware of your stand is provided by the venue you only need to pay for the graphic panels which attach directly to the shell scheme frame. Graphic panels are printed with your artwork or branding and will transform a plain shell scheme into a customised exhibition stand.

We offer shell scheme graphics for a wide range of stand sizes and shapes – back wall, U-shape and L-shape. Choose from PVC graphics or Foamex graphics, both of which are printed in full colour to photo quality standard. Foamex is a lightweight, rigid foam board. PVC graphic panels are printed and then laminated for protection and durability. Panels can be rolled up without damage for easy storage and transportation.

To make the most of your exhibition space, why not add accessories to your shell scheme stand to add the finishing touch? Display equipment, such as iPad stands, monitor stands, literature holders and promotional counters, will make your stand practical as well as give is a professional finish.

Linear and Vector Exhibition Stands

Offering unmatched levels of customisation this range of custom built exhibition stands utilises Linear and Vector hardware display systems.

Linear and Vector stands can be made to suit any exhibition stand space and configuration. The hardware consists of lightweight aluminium posts and rails which join together to create the frame. Graphics, printed with your artwork or branding, are then attached. Depending on the system used and design of the stand, graphics are printed onto fabric, PVC or Foamex.

Due to the modular nature of this hardware, stands can be built with walls, a roof, archways and storage rooms, all with printed graphics to truly customise your stand. Add in a whole host of accessories, such as monitor stands, hanging displays, portable counters, seating options and lighting, and you will end up with an exceptional exhibition stand which will beat your competitors hands down.
