Request a QuoteFree artwork proofing before print
Our free artwork proof gives you a fast and simple way to check your designs before printing.
Artwork supplied by you
Where you supply print-ready artwork, we’ll check it for resolution and DPI only. We don’t amend customer-supplied files, so please make sure the design is final and correct before you send it. Once approved, it goes to print as supplied.
Using advanced software, we review key details like image quality, logo resolution, and positioning to make sure everything looks perfect at full size.
We’ll highlight any issues and help you get your artwork print ready, so the finished product meets your expectations every time.
Free graphic design for exhibition stands
Our free design service gives you access to a dedicated designer who will bring your ideas to life across any of our products. Whether you already have a concept or need help shaping one, we’ll create artwork that captures your brand identity and grabs attention from every angle.
Artwork designed by us
Where we create your artwork, we’ll send a proof for you to check and approve. Up to three rounds of amends are included at no extra cost, so you can request changes before anything goes to print.
We’ll work with you to refine your visuals, adjust layouts and make sure every detail is print perfect. From eye-catching exhibition graphics to polished retail displays, we’ll make sure your brand looks as good on the stand as it does on screen. Working for a client? We also produce stands white labelled for agencies, see exhibition stands for agencies.
Design for modular stands, pop up stands and other exhibition displays
Free design covers the graphics for every type of stand and display stand in our range, from a small exhibition booth to a large exhibition space. We design to the exact template for the product and size you order, and different sized versions of the same stand each get their own layout.
Pop up stands
Curved and straight pop up stands, designed so your logo and message sit high on the graphic where visitors can see them over a counter.
Modular exhibition stands
Aluminium frame systems with fabric graphics that you can reconfigure for a different footprint at your next exhibition or event.
Fabric walls and backdrops
Fabric walls where the whole back wall becomes one large printed graphic for your brand.
Banners
Roller banners and other exhibition banners that work on their own or beside a stand to carry an offer or a second line.
Counters
Branded counters for a product demo, samples and a place to talk to visitors on the stand.
Hanging banners
Fabric banners hung above the stand, so visitors can find you from across the hall.

Exhibition stand design ideas and inspiration
So what makes a good exhibition stand? Visitors walking an exhibition hall glance at each stand for a moment before deciding whether to stop. These are the principles our designers use to grab the attention of visitors, whatever the size of your stand.
Lead with one clear line
Say what you do in a few words, high on the back wall where it can be read over people’s heads. A short line works better than a paragraph.
Keep your logo above the counter
Counters, furniture and people block the lower part of a stand, so the logo and main headline belong in the top half of the graphic, well clear of the floor.
Make bold use of colour
Vibrant colours from your brand guidelines make the stand easy to recognise from across the hall. One large, high-contrast image beats lots of small ones.
Design for your stand size
A 3m x 3m stand, a 4m x 4m island with open sides and a long, shallow stand all need different layouts. We design to the panel sizes of the stand you order, so nothing important lands on a panel join.
Leave room to talk
Plan where the counter, screen, demonstration areas or a small meeting area will go, so the graphics frame the conversation on the stand instead of competing with it.
Think about future events
Keep dates and show offers off the main graphics, or put them on a banner you can swap, so the same stand works at your next event if you exhibit more than once. Read why reusing a stand saves money.

What our customers say
Exhibition stand design questions
Can’t see your question here? Call 020 8059 2095 or send us a message using the form below.
How much does exhibition stand design cost?
All the design work is free on every order. You pay for the stand and graphics you buy, and we create the artwork at no extra cost, with up to three rounds of amends included. If you supply your own print-ready files, we proof them for free instead.
What do you need from me to start the design?
Your logo, ideally as a vector file, your brand colours or guidelines, any photos you want to use and the wording for the stand. Tell us which product and size you’re ordering and who in your exhibition team will approve the proof. If there’s a stand or style you like, send a picture of it too.
How will I know what my stand looks like before the show?
We send you a proof of the artwork laid out on the template for your stand, and you approve it before anything is printed. Eligible products also have a free mockup option on the product page, so you can see your branding on the stand before you order.
Can I supply my own artwork?
Yes. Send a High Quality Print PDF set up on our template, in CMYK and at 72 to 125 DPI at full size. We check supplied files for resolution and DPI only and don’t amend them, so make sure the design is final. Our artwork guidelines explain how to set up your files.
How long does it take?
Design time depends on your brief and how many amends you need, so it’s worth sending your brief as early as you can. Once you’ve approved the artwork, your order goes into production. Printed and dispatched within 5 days with express options available.
Do you design bespoke exhibition stands?
Yes. If you want a bespoke exhibition stand laid out from scratch around your stand space and brand, our custom exhibition stands service designs the whole stand from aluminium frames you can reuse, graphics, lightbox walls and counters, with a visual and a written quote before you order.
Can you design new graphics for a stand I already own?
Yes, where we sell replacement graphics for that display system. Tell us the frame and its size, and we’ll check we can print for it before the design starts.
Stand design for reusable display systems, not a one-off custom build
Many exhibition stand designers are design and build contractors. Like most exhibition stand builders, they create a one-off structure for a single show, and the design fee, build, installation and disposal all go into the price. We work differently. We supply portable exhibition stands and modular display systems and design the graphics for them free of charge, so the frames can be used again at different shows and only the graphics need reprinting when your branding changes. For anyone who exhibits a few times a year, that is far more cost-efficient.
With more than 20 years of exhibition design experience and thousands of successful projects behind us, we know how to make your brand stand out from the crowd. If you want a whole stand laid out from scratch for your space, see our custom exhibition stands. Exhibiting at one show? Our exhibition stand hire service includes the design and printing of your graphics. Comparing design prices from other suppliers? Our research into exhibition artwork costs explains why fees from suppliers, printers and freelancers are hard to compare like for like.
