Spring Fair Exhibition Stands

The Spring Fair is one of the largest exhibitions held at the NEC throughout the year. In 2012, the Sprint Fair will be open from 5th Feb to the 9th Feb and will see a whole host of companies selling all manner of home accessories and contemporary gifts to the public.

Printdesigns have already been working on exhibition displays for several exhibitors who are exhibiting at the Spring Fair and who want to make their stands look as eye-catching and professional as possible.

If you are exhibiting at the Spring Fair and need some top quality display graphics at great value prices then why not call Printdesigns and discuss your requirements. We can produce almost any type of graphics for your shell scheme including display posters, display boards, exhibition banner stands, pop up stands are more!

If you are exhibiting at the Spring Fair, you can save a great deal of money by using an external company to produce your exhibition boards and panels rather than using your allocated stand contractor whose prices will likely be inflated!

If you are interested in attending the Spring Fair then you can order tickets at http://www.springfair.com and also find our more about the businesses who are exhibiting at the show.

Firstly, what is a shell scheme?

With a shell scheme, you are provided with a series of posts that have infill panels between them. The infill panels could be plain white or sometimes they are fabric covered.The Shell Scheme is used to break-up space in an event hall.

Graphic panels can be produced that will fit inside the posts or we can provide panels and fixings that will allow the panels to fit over the top of the posts. The great thing about putting graphic panels over the top is that you can become more creative with the design of the stand. You can create a continuous mural that runs around the edge of the booth rather than having a series of panels with posts in-between.

If you choose to use panels that fit in-between the shell scheme posts then there are several common materials we can print onto. A typical infill panel would measure 946mm wide x 2340mm tall. Here are some typical costs

• PVC – A 600gsm Blockout Material (rollable) – panels are around £44 each for a full width and full height panel
• Opal Jet Polyester – A heavyweight blockout display film with a scratch resistant laminated finish – panels are around £70 each for a full width/height panel
• Foamex – A semi rigid PVC sheet – panels are around £70 each for a full width/height panel
• Corrugated ‘shell pac’ panels – printed on 5mm thick corrugated card and then folded into three so easy to transport – panels are around £55 each for a full width/height panel

The first two materials can be rolled up so they are easy to transport but foamex panels are supplied as large, flat sheets and so you will need a larger vehicle to transport them.

Shell Pac is a new type of product which although benefitting from looking like a rigid board, is folded into three so far easier to transport than a single flat sheet.

If you decide that you would like to create a continuous graphic wall then we would provide you with some Shell Clad fixings. Essentially these fixings clip onto the existing shell scheme framework and then allow the panels to be positioned edge to edge.

There are two types of material we can produce shell clad panels with:

• Opal Jet Polyester (as described above)
• A premium version which is backed with a fluted board to keep the panel extra rigid.

The cost for a shell scheme of 3M x 2.5M which would include cladding all three walls would be £940 plus vat.

If you simply want to fill the maximum space in the most cost effective manner then we can provide super-wide sized dye sublimation printed fabric panels which can be attached to your stand wall in a variety of ways.

Dye sublimation printed graphic panels look far superior to large plastic/PVC banners and have a unique, upmarket appearance. A large scale dye sublimation print to fit your stand backwall would cost around £216 plus vat and we can offer help and advice regarding the best way to attach it to your shell scheme.

We hope this information helps and please just contact our sales team should you have any queries

The Stealth banner stand will share many characteristics of the Twist banner stand being a banner stand which can be used individually or linked together to create larger, backwall displays. The tensioning of the Stealth Banner stand has been addressed with the design of a spring-loaded top-section on the twist-lock pole assembly. This means that there is no unsightly tensioning top-bar as is the case with the Twist Banner Stand display.

The Stealth banner stand can be supplied ion a choice of a single sided or double sided display and also a flexible kit that includes two single sided straight stealth banner stands and one 600mm flexible linking panel.

The market for linking banner stand systems was been very closed until now with the Twist banner stand facing almost no competition from other products. In addition to the Stealth banner stand system in August, we also expect to see another innovative linking banner stand system that features innovative lighting in the coming months.

For information on the stealth banner stand or other exhibition display stands from Printdesigns, please call to speak to one of our friendly team.

The classic roller banner stand has been modified to suit the outdoor world with Print Designs outdoor banner stands; the weatherproof, extra durable display stands can withstand UV damage and, in preparation for a traditional British summer, water damage. For simple transportation from fete to fete, the outdoor pop-up-display is a lightweight alternative to carrying various amounts of poles, clips and weights around. Available in all shapes and sizes, the pop-up-stands can be purchased in bulk to create a big impact on any outdoor exhibition.

If your display will be taken to one of this summer upcoming festivals, the new display tunnel exhibition stand is an uncommon and extremely effective advertising method. The spring construction ensures quick and easy erection, with a simple fold mechanism for demounting. “The display tunnel is also an ideal solution for family based exhibition events, the shape teamed with a vibrant design will be sure to catch everyone’s eye” says Mark Jackson, director at Print Designs.

Exhibition accessories can cut into a budget, and Print Designs offer a simple, effective advertising method for those businesses on a smaller budget in the shape of the classic A-Board. Used in advertising for hundreds of years, “it will guarantee your product or service is spotted without resorting to circus acts or TV advertising”. The A-Board display stand’s shape and size also allows for ease of transportation.

Cheap Banner Stands

This Months promotion is based on purchasing two of our great value budget roller banner stands.

Our Budget Banner Stands have proved to be one of our best-selling products and we have sold over 10,000 of these portable exhibition stands over the course of the last few years to many companies both large and small.

Banner Stands are one of the most popular types of portable display available in the UK today and they are used widely in all types of venues including shopping centres, retail environments, exhibition centres and conference halls.

Assembly of the stand is incredibly simply and required no tools and only a minute or so of time. The great thing about these cheap roller banners is that the graphic is rolled inside the base during transit, thus protecting the printed image from damage.

One of the outstanding qualities of our banner stand when compared to similar economy banner stands from rival companies is the UV printed graphic panel. While many exhibition stand companies still embrace environmentally-harmful printing techniques like solvent or so-called ‘eco solvent’ printing, we have invested in newer UV print technology whereby the ink contains no harmful VOC’s. The print quality is high resolution, providing photo realistic reproduction from your own artwork for the best possible impact.

You can supply your own banner stand artwork by uploading the file via our secure artwork upload interface via the Printdesigns.com website. Should you need any help and assistance with the design of your display stand then this is no problem! Our in-house graphic designer is available on-site from our Stafford based offices to provide quotes and assistance when required.

This Months promotion is a limited offer and so we recommend ordering this item as quickly as possible as stocks and availability are limited.

For more information on these banner stands or any of our other pop up stands, please visit our main website or call on 01785 224055.

Changing the graphic on a roller banner stand takes only a few minutes

Most roller banner stands that are available in the UK today work on the same principle although the design, style and weight of the base can vary depending on the model of banner stand.

We are often sent banner stands by customers who require only replacement graphics for an existing banner stand and although we charge nothing for the removal and replacement of graphics, the carriage cost for the customer to courier the stand to us obviously adds cost to the job.

Changing the graphic on a banner stand is very easy and does not require any special tools and with this in mind, we produced a quick guide that explains the process of removing an existing banner stand print and re-fitting a new print to the stand.

You can download the how to change a banner stand graphic here.

Printdesigns can supply new graphics for all types of banner stands and with over 10 years experience in the production of graphics to suit banner stands and pop up stands you can be assured that your new panels will be the best possible quality. If you have some existing displays and would like to refresh the content by -re-skinning’ them, why not call us on 01785 224055.

Previously available in a choice of either 1500mm or 2000mm widths, these stands are now available in a smaller, more compact 1200mm size. 1200mm wide roller banners are ideal for those clients who require a banner stand with more impact that a regular 800mm or 850mm wide banner stand but still require the banner to be as portable as possible.

Giant banner stands have proved to be popular since we introduced them into our existing range of portable exhibition stands because in terms of ‘bang for buck’ they work out to be a far cheaper, more cost effective prospect when compared to pop up stands.

If we compare the most common size pop up stand, such as a 3×3 pop up stand to the 2M wide giant banner, we find the assembled display area to be similar. The 3×3 pop up stand has 3 central panels giving a useable artwork area of 222mm tall by 2019mm wide. The giant banner has an assembled width of 2000mm wide and a viewable height of 2000mm.

At a cost of only £204 plus vat for the Giant Banner Stand when compared to around £500 for a 3×3 pop up stand it’s easy to see why this is a good budget option.

Our new cafe barrier system uses a unique gripper rail to connect the printed banner to the support rails

Introducing our new range of functional and stylish high quality cafe barriers.

Available in a choice of either 1200mm or 2000mm width, our cafe barrier banners are ideal for coffee shops, restaurants and bars or for any application where an area needs to be screened-off, for example conference and trade show booths.

Cafe barriers can be custom printed onto either PVC or heavyweight fabric for a more natural appearance. The design of our cafe barrier system incorporates a neat gripper top and bottom rail that eliminates the need for stitching or welding pockets into the top and bottom of the banner itself. Not only does this improve the outward appearance of the cafe barrier, it also reduces labour costs to produce the panels!

The design of the new cafe banner is modular which means that multiple units can be linked together to create walls of almost any length. For advice on this exciting new product, please contact one of our team who will be happy to help.

The cafe barrier system can be purchased online at our webstore www.printdesigns.com along with our other range of exhibition stands such as banner stands, roller banners and pop up stands.
