74 Banner Stands were produced in only 24 hours

To produce 74 roller banners in only 1 working day would be impossible for most of our competitors! This is because many companies who claim to be specialists in the production of portable exhibition stands such as banner stands and pop up stands do not carry sufficiently large stocks of hardware and material to react to such requirements from their customers.

When our valued customer, Wiltshire Farm Foods contacted us and asked if we could produce such an order then for us, it was not a problem! With artwork sign-off on December 23rd, we had the job complete in only a day!

We work differently than many other exhibition display companies because we source of hardware directly from the manufacturers rather than buying through a UK distributor who in-turn purchases from overseas. Because we purchase roller banner bases direct, we can source better quality display stands such as our budget banner stand for less money than the competition.

Combine our ability to provide first class hardware at the best prices with our heavy investment in the latest production-based printing equipment and it is easy to see why other companies simply cannot compete!

If you have a requirement for a bulk order of banner stands at the cheapest possible price then please contact us on 01785 224055. We guarantee to beat any quote on exhibition stands and graphics of equivalent quality!

On behalf of all of us here at Printdesigns Limited, we would like to wish all of our customers past and present our very best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

2009 has been a difficult time for many exhibition and display companies, and we have seen some established exhibition display businesses forced into administration. Thanks to our loyal customers, we have managed to maintain sales on our range of exhibition stands, pop up stands and banner stands due to our commitment to offering the very best pricing and great levels of customer service.

We will be working up until the afternoon of December 24th while we complete a large order of around 400 roller banners for a large national high street bank. Once this order is completed, we are all looking forward to having a little time-off before returning to work on January 4th 2010.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all our customers

In January, our existing Vutek digital press will be decommissioned and will be moved to it’s new home at another print company in the south of England. The machine is being replaced by a brand new, QS series machine which not only provides almost twice the printing resolution, but runs at double the speed! The increased production capacity will allow us to output around 200 roller banner stands in a single working day!

Another project in 2010 will be the unveiling of our new banner stand. We have been working on the system in collaboration with product design lecturers from a leading university for several Months. The new stand will be revolutionary, employing integrated LED lighting and a unique tensioning system! More news to come later!

Top Tips For Choosing the Perfect Exhibition Stand

Portable Pop Up Stands as Supplied to Lexmark

As the recession looks set to continue way into 2010 and businesses prepare for a difficult time ahead, developing tried and true strategies for securing new custom is more vital than ever. A purpose designed exhibition stand is one such way of standing out from the crowd and wowing passersby at any event, seminar or function. Arguably the first step on the road to starting potentially lucrative conversations, a higher profile can help to divert footfall towards products and services on display. Exhibition stand suppliers and portable presentation system specialists Printdesigns have helped thousands of companies to get creative with their stands in order to yield maximum results. Here they share their top tips on finding the right exhibition display stand…

There’s a massive variety of different types of exhibition stands and choosing the right stand for a given situation – pop up stands, shell clad, banner stands, modular, twist banner, folding panel – the list is endless. Picking the right system can be extremely difficult, especially during the current financial climate where all investments should be correctly placed.

Top Tip 1: Shop Around for the best Exhibition Stand Deals

Shopping around never goes out of fashion however the financial markets are performing. If you put the time into finding the right display system, you could make huge savings in the process and will end up with an exhibition stand solution that will serve you well over a number of events, rather than just being used the one time.  Get a feel for the different stand systems available and the various printing options. Bear in mind that some exhibition stand firms will add on hidden extras and you will need to factor in the cost of graphics, printing, construction and dismantling. Depending on the type of exhibition stand you choose, there may also be storage costs to consider.

Top Tip 2: Are Your Exhibition Stand Graphics Long Lasting?

Always check how your graphics are being added to your stand and that the solutions being used are extremely hard wearing.  This will expand the life of your exhibition stand and save money in the long term. You can purchase replacement graphics for a banner exhibition stand at a later date or mix and match marketing messages with a choice of graphics for various products or services that you may offer. The graphics should initially be long lasting to ensure a maximum ROI. You also want bright, vivid colours from high quality printing to ensure your stand makes an impact at the event.

Top Tip 3: Check the Warranty on your Exhibition Stand

Check with the retailer that your stand is covered by a warranty. Ideally you need either a warranty or exhibition stand insurance to save money in the long run. A warranty on your exhibition stand also shows you that the retailer has faith and confidence in the products they are selling.

Top Tip 4: Stock Up On Exhibition Essentials

Exhibitions are busy times so you’ll want to be manning your stand and demonstrating your products, not popping to the shop for tape or trying to find spare bulbs in an unfamiliar town. Carrying spares and essentials such as Velcro tape to hand position display boards will save time and reduce stress levels on the day. It’s not just the practicalities of your stand you’ll need to add to your essential checklist – be sure to have enough business cards printed and spare letter headed paper on hand to provide visitors with a means of contacting you after the event.

Top Tip 5: Don’t Forget Interior Stand Displays

While it’s easy to get carried away planning the exterior look of your exhibition stand, don’t forget to consider how you’re going to make an impact with the interior. Aside from furniture, you’ll need to consider any AV display equipment and stands for literature such as company brochures as well as seating and work areas. If you plan to have desks or tables on the stand, perhaps in a consultation area or reception corner to sit down and speak with clients, you can mix and match your main exhibition stand with a desktop display stand. A desktop pop up creates an eye catching, modern visual backdrop and sits on a table or desk within your stand. It’s also compact so you can use it to reinforce key messages without losing out on valuable space.
