What is a shell scheme?

A shell scheme exhibition stand is a famous type of exhibition display that’s low cost and easy to set up. It consists of a simple aluminium box frame with a simple floor and decorated fabric side walls or panels.

Stand Out From The Crowd

Each basic shell scheme gives you a solid foundation to convey your brand image at leading UK exhibitions, but the best ones are usually enhanced with added elements.

 

Think of premium vinyl graphics, a small rigged banner, or more premium furniture.                                                       

Our shell scheme stands are known for their versatility, convenience, and flexibility making them a top choice for your exhibition needs.

With a shell scheme stand in your corner, you’ll have the peace of mind knowing you can make a difference for your company at any major UK venue.

A versatile display solution

Built around a lightweight aluminum frame, shell schemes give you a solid base setup to display your products and services in front of a big crowd. Anything extra you choose to add only increases the appeal of your space.

In addition, you’ll benefit from the lightweight structure of your shell scheme, which makes it easy to transport and reconfigure on a whim.

Maximising value with a shell scheme

Shell scheme stands are highly popular because of how cost-effective they are. As a first-time exhibitor, opting for a shell scheme stand eliminates hefty expenses associated with designing and building a custom exhibition display from the ground up.

At the end of the day, however, a basic shell scheme only serves as a foundational framework for your exhibition presentation. Any further benefits lie in the different ways you can personalize your shell scheme, giving you a space that embodies your brand and message.

Use shell scheme graphics to transform your space

Take your shell scheme to the next level by adding unique branding visuals on printed vinyl graphics. Everything from your logo to your product range can be printed with dye sublimation technology onto vinyl sheets, significantly elevating your shell scheme’s appearance.

You can even go a bit further by adding stylish furniture and fancy product display areas, building up a cozy atmosphere that British exhibition attendees will love.

Taking Care Of The Planet

Our shell scheme stands are typically crafted from lightweight, sustainable materials that can be reused and recycled.

Unlike traditional custom-built stands, our shell schemes can be dismantled effortlessly and transported to other events, minimising the environmental impact of shipping and cutting down on waste.

What’s more, the shell scheme design gives you the flexibility to add or remove elements from your stand as needed, significantly reducing material waste and carbon emissions linked to traditional exhibition builds. It’s a win-win for your business and the planet.

We had the pleasure of working with Booth Exhibits for a conference in London. The team was very professional before, during, and after the event. On the first day of the event, we showed up to ensure everything was correct, and without a doubt it was, and they did a fantastic job, while even having to work around us at times. One of their Project Managers, Luke, went so far above and beyond that he was willing to run around the local area to find us some tech equipment that we forgot. Overall, a great experience and very professional team.
