Exhibition stand

Step by step. First, we go through your stand layout, using the floor plan and the organiser’s specifications, and where necessary we visit the site to take measurements. We then draw up a proposal for the walls, counter, flooring and lighting, complete with a price quote. Only once this has been finalised will production begin in Lokeren, and on the agreed day our team will assemble it in the hall. There is no pre-designed version of this product in the ordering module, as no two stands are the same.

The price depends on the surface area, the number of walls, the sheet material, the finish and whether we carry out the installation. Please send us the floor plan of your pitch and tell us what you’d like on it, and we’ll work out the cost for you. This differs from our other products, where you calculate the price yourself based on a single unit.

Yes. Creafor has its own installation team and its own aerial work platform, and will come to the exhibition hall as agreed. We also deliver every weekday throughout Europe, so a trade fair across the border is no problem. Please arrange the set-up date as soon as you know it from the organiser, as these dates fill up quickly during the trade fair season.

This is something you help to decide when choosing the materials. Forex is intended for standard durations, whilst Dibond and plexiglass are for longer durations. Those who return every year usually opt for a structure that remains in place and panels that can be changed, so that only the image is updated rather than the entire stand.

This page is about indoor use, and that is how it is listed in our specifications. Plywood is less moisture-resistant, and Forex is not listed in our specifications as a material suitable for outdoor use. Dibond and plexiglass are listed as suitable for outdoor use, so outdoor installation is an option, but in that case we will assess the structure and wind load separately.

These are components, not a stand. A Reboard wall or a Zipper wall provides you with a back wall, and that’s often all you need. If you opt for an exhibition stand, we’ll design and supply the whole thing: walls, counter, flooring, lighting and the structure, with a single point of contact for everything.

You’re welcome to do so, but it’s not essential. Our design team will create the design based on a clear briefing. If you supply your own files, we’ll check them for format, outline paths and bleed. With an exhibition stand, an image often spans several panels, so this check is certainly not a superfluous step. It is rarely the printing that determines the lead time, but rather the approval process; so the sooner the design is finalised, the more time there is left for production and assembly.

Exhibition centres impose their own requirements, for example regarding building height, anchoring or the fire behaviour of stand materials. The fire rating of our sheet materials is not specified in our product data sheets. Please therefore request the regulations from the organiser and send them to us, so that we can take them into account in the design.

For a bespoke stand, allow several weeks between the briefing and the set-up, and allow even more time if any milling or painting is required. Please let us know the exhibition dates when you first make enquiries, so that we can plan accordingly.

Forex, Dibond and Plexiglas score 1 to 2 out of 5, but will last for years if you reuse the display stand. Solidboard and Reboard score 5 out of 5 and can be recycled as waste paper. Which of the two is more cost-effective depends on how often you reuse the display stand.
