Complete expo kits: walls, counters, lighting and shipping cases.
Produced through our national trade production network. Tell us size, quantity and deadline and we'll price it fast (Mon-Fri 9-5).
Expo stands are one of the few things on this site we will not price with a calculator, because no two stands are the same shape. Tell us your stand size, your dates and roughly what you want it to do, and we will come back with a real number and a layout.
Most Sunshine Coast businesses do not need a custom-built stand. They need three or four printed pieces that work together and pack into a car. Below is what actually goes into a stand, what each part costs, and how to spend the budget where it shows.
A complete, good-looking 3 x 3m stand is usually a backdrop, something to stand behind, something at eye level and something people take away. Every one of those parts is already priced on this site, so you can assemble a stand yourself and see the total before you commit.
| Piece | What it does | From |
|---|---|---|
| Media wall | Your backdrop. Straight or curved, tension fabric over a frame | $200 |
| Pull up banner | The workhorse. Sets up in seconds, packs in a carry bag | $156 |
| SEG fabric panel | Seamless silicone-edge graphic for a frame or lightbox | $135 |
| Stackable cubes | Printed cubes as plinths, seating or product display | $135 |
| Standees | Life-size cut-outs and strut cards that stop people walking past | $135 |
| Teardrop flags | Height. Gets you seen from the other side of the hall | $176 |
| Printed tablecloth | Covers the trestle and the boxes underneath it | $189 |
| Brochures | What they take home and remember you by | $228 |
A backdrop, two pull-ups, a printed tablecloth and 500 brochures is a complete, credible stand well under two thousand dollars, and every piece is reusable.
Custom modular systems, printed counters, literature stands, LED lighting kits and shipping cases are all available through our national trade production network, and that is where the larger guide prices come from. It is the right spend if you exhibit several times a year, need a specific footprint, or are building something that has to survive freight to interstate shows.
Tell us the stand dimensions from your exhibitor pack, whether you have a corner or an end position, your ceiling height limit and your bump-in date, and we will price it properly.
The single most common problem with expo print is not the print, it is the calendar. Work backwards from bump-in day, not forwards from today.
Confirm your stand size and position with the organiser. Decide what you are actually trying to achieve, because that determines the layout.
Artwork done and approved. This is the step that always takes longer than people expect, especially with a committee involved.
Hardware and print ordered. Large-format frames and modular systems are not overnight items.
Everything delivered and unpacked. Build it once in your own space so bump-in day is not the first time you have seen it standing up.
People decide whether to walk into your stand from about three metres away, while walking past, in under two seconds. At that distance they can read a headline and a logo and nothing else. Put what you do in six words across the top of the backdrop, in the biggest type that fits. Save the detail for the conversation and the brochure.
A trestle table across the front of a stand is a barrier, and people will not step over it. Push the table to one side, or use printed cubes instead, and let people walk in.
Anything below about a metre on your backdrop will be hidden behind a table, a person or a display. Do not put your phone number down there.
Exhibition halls are lit for the aisles, not for your stand. A stand with its own light looks twice as professional as the one beside it, and it costs less than most people assume.
Every piece you choose has to get to the venue and back. Pull-ups, fabric media walls and SEG graphics all pack into carry bags and fit in a car. Rigid panels and built counters need a van and a case. Ask yourself who is loading it before you choose it.
Yes. Send your floor plan and brand assets and we will design, print and pack the lot. If you would rather assemble a stand from standard pieces, every one of those pieces is priced on this site so you can see the total before you commit.
It depends entirely on whether you need a custom build or a set of standard pieces. A credible 3 x 3m stand built from a media wall, two pull up banners, a printed tablecloth and 500 brochures comes in well under two thousand dollars, and everything is reusable. Full modular systems with counters, lighting and shipping cases are quoted per job.
Because no two stands are the same shape. Every other product on this site prices instantly, but a stand depends on your footprint, your position in the hall, your ceiling limit and what you already own. Send us those four things and we will price it properly rather than guess.
A backdrop, something at eye level, something with height, and something people take away. In practice that is a media wall, one or two pull up banners, a printed tablecloth or printed cubes, and brochures. Add teardrop flags if you need to be seen from across the hall.
Work backwards from bump-in day. Confirm your stand details six weeks out, have artwork approved four weeks out, order print and hardware three weeks out, and have everything delivered a week before so you can build it once in your own space. Artwork approval is what always runs late, particularly when a committee is involved.
Bigger than you think. People decide whether to walk in from about three metres away, in under two seconds, while walking past. Put what you do in around six words across the top in the largest type that fits. Everything below about a metre will be hidden by a table or a person, so keep that area clear.
Pull up banners, fabric media walls and SEG fabric graphics all pack into carry bags and fit in a normal car. Rigid panels, built counters and full modular systems need a van and a shipping case. Tell us who is transporting it and we will steer you to the right format.
That is the point of building it from standard pieces. Frames, bases and cases last for years, and only the printed graphic needs replacing when your message changes. Ask us to quote a replacement graphic rather than a whole new stand.
Yes, LED lighting kits are part of the systems we supply. Exhibition halls are lit for the aisles rather than for your stand, so a stand with its own light reads as noticeably more professional than the one next to it.
We deliver Australia-wide, including direct to venues. Give us the venue, the bump-in date and any delivery instructions from the exhibitor pack, and allow a buffer so a freight delay does not become an empty stand.
Print-ready PDF in CMYK, fonts outlined. Large format only needs 100 to 150dpi at final size. If you have a designer we will send them the exact templates for the hardware you have chosen, since every frame has its own visible area and bleed allowance.
Always. A person checks the file against the hardware specification, then you approve a digital proof. On a stand that matters more than usual, because a graphic printed to the wrong visible area cannot be trimmed to fit afterwards.
Straight or curved backdrops for events, launches and step-and-repeats.
Economy to premium bases with vivid print. Includes padded carry bag.
Printed canopies, walls and flags for markets and events. 2.4m to 6m.
