What are the different types of exhibition stand?
Choosing the perfect exhibition stand is as important as the show you choose. Exhibition stands come in three main types:
- Custom-built stands – bold, one-off designs built onsite but often single-use and wasteful with high environmental impact.
- Modular exhibition stands – versatile, reusable, and sustainable, with the style of a custom exhibition display but the flexibility to adapt for each event.
- Shell scheme stands – basic structures provided by organisers, which can be transformed with a seamless custom printed graphics kit for a polished, engaging display.
The best choice depends on your budget, space, and event objectives, and we’re here to help you find the perfect fit with a huge variety of design options and an easy display solution.

How do you make your exhibition display stand-out in a busy hall?
To make exhibition display stands pop in a crowd at trade shows, use bold, eye-catching, custom-printed graphics and vibrant colours for visibility from afar. Create an inviting layout with exhibition counters and striking features that encourages flow, and incorporate interactive brand activations to engage visitors. Memorable experiences leave a lasting impression, drawing attendees in and ensuring your brand stays top of mind.

How much does an exhibition stand cost?
There’s no one-size-fits-all price tag, your investment depends on size, materials, and the level of innovation you want to bring to the space. Bespoke builds with custom features and tailored engagement solutions offer unlimited creativity but need a bigger budget and lead time, while modular stands combined with some of our exciting off the shelf activations deliver smart, scalable, and reusable solutions. Wherever your budget sits, we craft a huge range of custom-designed exhibition bundles that deliver real impact and measurable success against your goals, because a great stand isn’t an expense, it’s an opportunity.

What is the difference between shell scheme and space only exhibitions?
Shell scheme exhibitions offer pre-built structures with fixed walls, perfect for cost-effective setups enhanced by custom printed graphics. In contrast, space-only exhibitions provide an open floor area, giving you the freedom to create bold, bespoke designs. Tecna’s wide selection of solutions transform both options into captivating displays, tailored to elevate your brand.

How do I choose an exhibition stand?
Choosing an exhibition stand starts with understanding your goals, budget, and event space. Consider the type of exhibition display equipment that best suits your brand and audience. A well-designed display stand should be visually impactful, easy to install, and versatile. Factor in the use of custom printed graphics to create a memorable experience. Prioritise functionality and brand visibility to ensure your display stands pop and attract maximum attention at any event, and remember: your stand is a brand activation tool!

What are custom exhibition stands?
Custom exhibition stands are uniquely designed structures built to reflect your brand’s identity and captivate your audience. Unlike off-the-shelf portable displays, these stands incorporate tailored elements like exhibition counters, interactive industry-specific features, and display boards. Custom stands allow seamless integration of your print ready artwork, ensuring a polished and professional finish. At Tecna, we’re all about disrupting the norm, so we’ll help you create a vision that pushes boundaries and challenges expectations, so that consumer’s engage with your brand.
