Just because there’s a lot of space, it doesn’t mean you should cram it full of text and image content.
It’s important to remember that people who see your stand need to be able to take it all in quickly – it should set the tone or key messaging and then other support materials like informative leaflets and eye-catching flyers should fill in the smaller details.
Our Exhibition stand designers are crucial in creating impactful, branded environments that attract attention and engage visitors at trade shows and events. These professionals, also known as exhibit designers, booth fabricators, or exhibition contractors, combine creative design with practical construction to deliver stands that not only showcase products or services but also reflect the identity and goals of the exhibitor. Depending on the needs of the client and the space available, designers may create a wide range of stand types, each tailored for different exhibition formats and objectives. Common types of exhibition stands include:
Modular stands
Custom-built stands
Shell scheme stands
Pop-up stands
Portable displays
Island stands
Peninsula stands
Inline stands
Corner stands
Double-decker stands
Each type offers unique benefits in terms of flexibility, visual impact, and budget, allowing brands to select the correct format for their event presence.

Our design team works initially on paper to sketch out lots of potential creative ideas and we’ll share these with you at the rough stages so you’re totally involved in the design process from the get-go.
We then select preferred creative directions and hop onto the Macs to start developing the ideas into more polished visuals.
As exhibition stands are large-format – a good eye for detail is crucial to ensure the stand works as a whole and there are no errors in the artwork.
Get started right nowWe can produce initial design concepts on the same day if required, and our designers will give you a range of options to develop into your final exhibition stand design.
Exhibition stand designers also need to have a sharp eye for detail – a small error or spacing issue on screen or proof turns into a glaring error when output at full size. Our designers are experts in art working large-format creative, so we make sure everything is perfect before it goes off to print.
We also work with a trusted team of large format printers to produce your exhibition stands and deliver them on time – there is a wide range of options for final production too – from single-use items to sturdier options for use longer-term.
