2. Put Money Into Your Artwork
The next step to make an exhibition that looks attractive is to take into consideration the design. Graphics for the 2m x 4m Shell Scheme Graphics can be available typically in 1m panels of the form of Foamex and rollable PVC
When they are install these panels will be separate with poles of steel that make up the space for the shell scheme.
Because of the above, seamless background appearance is not possible with panels of shells. In this regard if you were to utilise a single image that is spread across multiple panel shells, you must think of each panel as a distinct layout and plan your work according to that.
Consider borders and banners in addition to vibrant colours and branding. Limit the wording and concentrate on the images or logos.
Our entire shell scheme graphics are produce on-site at the UK manufacturing facility, and are subject to rigorous testing to ensure the best quality printing finish for your items.
In lieu of different shell panels you might also think about Fabric Displays as well as Pop-Up Stands.

3. Explore Outside The Box
In its nature, the design of shell schemes is box-like. But that doesn’t mean you need to restrict yourself within these parameters.
If you’re in a corner location and you’re not sure of an U-shaped shell scheme for your graphics, why not go for an L-shaped design with two sides of your scheme unlocked to create an open space?
It is possible to add furniture such as podiums, counters as well as tables and chairs or even include additional branding using Roller Banners and pop Up Stands to give a warm, inviting feel and let people move around the stand more easily and without hassle.

Lighting is among the main factors that determine an exhibition stand that is a shell. of the time, the overhead light use in trade show halls is extremely powerful, however it’s spread in a uniform manner, and will not help to differ your booth from the others.
Sometimes, lighting doesn’t penetrate properly into the shell, which means that smaller spaces in bigger exhibition halls may look dull or dark.
The addition of backlit displays to your design scheme is a fantastic option to help your company stand out from other businesses. Effective use of the exhibition stand lighting can help make your space appear and feel larger than it actually is.
The easiest method of illuminating an entire shell design is by using spotlights. Easy to install on the steel frameworks of your scheme, spotlights can emphasise the brightness of the graphic panels you have printed and make the colours of your brand stand out.
Our spotlights can be adjust so that you can select which areas you’d like to focus the spotlight, for instance, your contact information or company logo, or on accounts on social networks.

They can also be useful when use as part of a bigger display, since you can opt for backlit fabrics that are from within with LED lighting.
These displays with lights give a stunning look to create a professional, cost-effective look that will help you be notice in a crowd of competitors.

Accessories are the final touch to your overall design. This is the way you can provide your customers with more value by using traditional media like brochures, postcards, or leaflets using modern technology like iPads or tablets, to provide the possibility of interactive elements.
Engaging with visitors at your booth can increase the amount of time they are there, which will help in advancing them through the sales funnel to achieve greater results.
Audiovisual equipment is frequently see on display stands. If your room isn’t big enough and you don’t have enough space for items that can be freestanding, such as tablet terminals, the wall screen is the best alternative.
Utilise a professional presentation slideshow and/or demonstration videos to showcase your company or product by engaging your customers through an attractive display built around the look that you have chosen for your exhibit stand.
