Same-Day Exhibition Graphics

Exhibition graphics are the printed elements that dress an expo stand: shell scheme wall panels, counter wraps, hanging signs, rigid boards and vinyl lettering. They are for exhibitors at trade shows, career fairs and conferences who need graphics built to the organiser's stand dimensions.

Turnaround options

Standard turnaround is confirmed on your quote and is strongly recommended for full stands. Express prioritises your graphics in the run-up to build-up day. Same-day production may be possible for individual simple items, such as a single mounted panel or a pull-up, with print-ready artwork at the correct dimensions, approved and paid for before the configured cutoff, subject to capacity. Lamination and mounting, multiple panels, custom cutting, vinyl lettering that needs weeding and artwork that must be resized to the venue's measurements can push a job to express or standard. Production completion is separate from delivery to the venue, and installation is not included unless quoted.

FAQs

Where do I find my shell scheme panel sizes?
The organiser's exhibitor manual or stand contractor will specify panel sizes and what is allowed for fixing. Always confirm before ordering, as sizes vary.
How are panels attached to the shell scheme?
Most venues allow Velcro or approved double-sided tape. Drilling, nails and some adhesives are often not permitted. Check the venue rules.
Foam board or PVC board?
Foam board is light and affordable for a single show. PVC foam board is more rigid and durable if you plan to reuse panels.
Do you set up the stand?
Stand installation is not included in this service unless quoted. Graphics are supplied ready for you or your stand builder to fit.
