Good to know
How early should we start?
For most custom stands, start 2–3 months before the show. For large or complex stands — double-decks, unusual structures, a lot of media — allow 3–4 months or more. Once the design is approved, building in our workshop usually takes 15–30 days, depending on size and complexity; on top of that come show approvals, freight and time to install. The earlier you start, the more room there is to adjust the design and keep costs under control. Short on time? We can work faster, but with fewer options and at a higher cost.
