Exhibition stands

  • Can Tecna help with graphic design for my shell scheme stand?

    Of course! We offer a range of solutions to suit any space and budget from shell scheme kits and modular display solutions to custom built, re-useable exhibition stands.  Choose the best solution for your exhibiting objectives and our expert, creative team can design and produce everything you need, including help designing high quality, impactful graphics.

  • 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 graphics. In contrast, space-only exhibitions provide an open floor area, giving you the freedom to create bold, bespoke designs. Tecna’s solutions transform both options into captivating displays, tailored to elevate your brand.

  • Why choose self-build exhibition stands?

    The main reason to choose a self-build exhibition stand is that it gives you the freedom to take your stand to any event with no installation team required. Once you have purchased, you have no other costs each time you exhibit and can use for any event you choose.

    Unlike fully custom-built exhibition stands that often end up in landfill after a single use, self-build stands are also designed to be reusable. You get all the design choices of a custom exhibition stand, whilst making a sustainable choice.

  • Which exhibition stands can be self-built?

    A popular type of self-build exhibition stand is the modular exhibition stand system. This type of stand is designed to make assembly a breeze, even for first-timers! It features lightweight, interlocking beams and components that snap together effortlessly – no specialised tools or expert skills required. With clearly labelled components and step-by-step instructions, setting up your stand feels more like putting together a children’s game than a daunting task.

  • How long does the process take from concept to installation?

    Timelines vary depending on scope, but we pride ourselves on efficiency. Thanks to our in-house design, manufacturing, and logistics teams, we can fast-track projects without compromising on quality. Speak to us about your timeline, and we’ll work to deliver on schedule.

  • What makes Tecna’s designs unique?

    Tecna’s designs are uniquely crafted by blending creativity, functionality, and sustainability to revolutionise your space. Through detailed consultations, we deeply understand your vision, goals, and brand, delivering captivating, tailored solutions that inspire and deliver ROI as well as wow factor.

  • What is a modular exhibition stand?

    A modular exhibition stand is a flexible, reusable system designed to adapt to different events. Lightweight, easy to transport, and quick to assemble, it offers endless reconfiguration possibilities – delivering high-impact displays with shorter lead times and long-term value. Unlike single-use custom builds, modular stands maximise ROI while minimising waste.

  • What’s the difference between low-waste and net-zero exhibitions?

    Low-waste exhibitions focus on recycling, reusing, and reducing material waste. Net-zero exhibitions go further, considering carbon impact from production to disposal. Our approach integrates both, ensuring high-impact, sustainable exhibition stands that align with carbon reduction goals.

  • How do you ensure stands are reusable across multiple events?

    We design modular, adaptable exhibition stands that can be reconfigured, refreshed, and reused. Our durable, premium materials allow brands to maximise stand lifespan, ensuring a fresh, high-impact presence at every event while significantly reducing waste and costs.

  • Can a sustainable stand still be fully customised?

    Yes. Sustainability doesn’t limit creativity. Our stands feature bold branding, interactive elements, immersive experiences, and innovative designs all while remaining low-impact, reusable, and high-performance. We ensure your stand delivers impact while meeting sustainability goals.

  • How can Tecna help my brand exhibit more sustainably?

    We offer carbon reporting, sustainable stand design, and expert guidance to help brands ignite change while making a bold statement at events.

  • How do you reduce waste during stand build and breakdown?

    We follow a zero-waste strategy, using reusable modular frameworks, recyclable graphics, and eco-friendly flooring. Any materials reaching end-of-life are repurposed, recycled, or donated. Our focus on low-waste exhibiting ensures stands are designed for reuse, not landfill.

  • Are sustainable exhibition stands more expensive?

    Not necessarily. Reusable exhibition stands reduce long-term costs by avoiding one-off builds. Our modular exhibition systems allow for scalability and flexibility, meaning your stand evolves without wasteful rebuilds. Investing in low-waste, sustainable stands offers better ROI while reducing your carbon footprint.

  • How do you make your exhibition display stand-out in a busy hall?

    To make your exhibition stand wow in a crowd, use bold, eye-catching, custom-printed graphics and vibrant colours for visibility from afar. Create an inviting layout 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.

  • Are pop up exhibition stands the same as modular?

    Pop-up stands and modular exhibition stands might look similar, but they serve different purposes as exhibition display equipment. While both offer quick, easy setup; modular exhibition stands provide far greater flexibility. Built with adaptable components, they can be reconfigured for different layouts, events, or branding requirements – making them a smarter, more versatile choice for businesses seeking impactful, reusable displays.  Modular exhibition stands offer seamless graphic walls with the option to integrate lightboxes, shelving, and other features for a polished, high-impact display. In contrast, with pop-up stands, these portable exhibition stands typically sit within the existing stand walls, limiting design flexibility and customisation.

  • 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.
    • Modular exhibition stands – versatile, reusable, and sustainable, with the style of custom builds but the flexibility to adapt for each event.
    • Shell scheme stands – basic structures provided by organisers, which can be transformed with seamless graphic kits 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 an easy display solution.

  • How can an exhibition stand enhance my presence at London trade shows?

    A well-designed exhibition stand transforms your trade show presence into a marketing masterpiece. It attracts visitors, elevates brand awareness, and creates meaningful interactions. In a competitive London trade show, your stand should be a destination – combining smart layouts, immersive features, and bold branding to leave a lasting impression.

  • Why is Tecna the best sustainable choice?

    We offer sustainable practices without compromise. Reusable materials, energy-efficient lighting, eco-friendly builds – we lower your ecological footprint while delivering bold, high-impact designs. From concept to execution, every choice drives engagement and responsibility, proving sustainability and standout experiences go hand in hand.

  • What are good eco-friendly giveaways for exhibitions?

    Exhibitions are synonymous with freebies, and for good reason. They’re a fantastic way to spread your brand across the event and extend interactions long after it’s over. However, making eco-friendly choices mean you keep the entire experience at your exhibition stand sustainable.

    Giveaways should be useful, sustainable, and memorable. Swap plastic for recycled materials, bamboo, or FSC-certified paper. You can even go digital with interactive screens instead of printed brochures, a smarter way to engage while keeping waste to a minimum.

  • What options are there for using a sustainable exhibition stand?

    Buy or hire? If you’re exhibiting regularly, owning a modular stand maximises ROI and cuts waste. Prefer flexibility? Our rental service delivers tailored, sustainable displays that have high impact, low footprint, and are built to adapt across multiple events.

  • How do you make a sustainable exhibition stand design?

    Sustainable exhibition stands don’t have to break the bank. Modular, reusable designs cut costs long-term, offering eco-friendly, high-impact solutions that adapt across events – maximising value while minimising waste.

    Our passion lies in using materials for a range of purposes and for a long time, giving our customers a responsible service for both their budget and the environment. Smart choices, big impact.

  • Can you handle logistics and venue management?

    From securing the perfect venue to managing health and safety, supplier coordination, and event scheduling, we take care of the details, so you don’t have to. Our expert team ensures smooth setup, seamless on site execution, and hassle-free breakdown.

  • What makes your conference and exhibition solutions different?

    We blend creativity with precision. Our team understands that a successful conference isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about experience, flow, and impact. We combine strategic planning with innovative design, using high-quality modular systems, sustainable materials, and expert-led project management to create seamless, high-performing conference and exhibition environments that drive ROI.

  • Do you provide fully customised conference and exhibition solutions?

    Absolutely. No off-the-shelf packages here. Every conference space we design is built around your brand’s goals, audience, and venue requirements. From cutting-edge AV integration and bespoke stand builds to high-impact branding and interactive engagement zones, we create a completely tailored experience designed to captivate and convert.

  • What is the turnaround time for a custom exhibition stand design?

    Need a fast, innovative exhibition stand solution? We’ve got you. Lead times depend on complexity, modular builds can be turned around in weeks, while a fully bespoke exhibition stand design need more time to perfect. From concept to installation, we’ll keep things smooth, streamlined, and right on schedule, because creating impact shouldn’t have to wait.

  • What is a sustainable exhibition stand?

    Ditch the waste, not the wow-factor. The exhibition industry generates huge amounts of waste – but we’re here to disrupt that. Sustainable exhibition stands are built to last, constructed with longevity in mind, using high-quality materials that can be reused across different events. The materials your display stand is made out of, as well as the giveaways used can all impact the carbon footprint of the build. Achieve the perfect stand with responsible exhibition stand solutions that work for your goals, budget and the planet.

  • How can I make my exhibition stand design more interactive?

    A stand isn’t just something to look at – it’s something to step into, explore, and remember. Adding interactive elements like touchscreens, live demos, or immersive demonstrations draws people in and keeps them engaged. AR and VR can bring your brand story to life, while gamification, competitions, and exclusive giveaways create buzz and drive footfall. Together we will turn your stand or event into a destination.

  • 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 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.

  • How do I make my exhibition design stand out?

    Forget blending in. The best exhibition stand designs don’t just look good; they ignite curiosity and leave a lasting impression. Stand out with bold visuals, dynamic lighting, and interactive features that create an experience, not just a display. Think unique designs, high-quality graphic panels, and interactive elements that grab attention from every angle. Together we’ll craft a space that celebrates everything your brand stands for, it’s what we do.

Exhibition stand build

  • What should I look for in a stand builder?

    Choosing the right exhibition stand builder is about more than just great design, it’s about finding a partner who understands your vision and delivers seamless execution.

    Look for a partner with proven experience and expertise, capable of bringing bold ideas to life while handling every detail – from health & safety to exhibitor portals. A great stand builder will pre-build your stand in advance, ensuring flawless execution on-site and giving you complete confidence before your event.

    Most importantly, choose someone who truly understands your goals and works with you to create an engaging, results-driven space that maximises impact.

  • Will I get to see my exhibition stand built before the exhibition?

    Yes, we prebuild every exhibition stand in our custom facility before the event to ensure every detail is perfect and to allow you to ensure you are happy and make any last minute adjustments. This will normally be 1 – 2 weeks before your exhibition and you are welcome to come to our showroom or we can do by video presentation.

  • Can I build my exhibition stand myself?

    The short answer is Yes, depending on the complexity. Using a modular display system or exhibition stand means that you can build yourself. Some modular exhibition systems, such as the T3 system, are tool-less meaning they are easy to build without an expert. The more complex your exhibition stand design becomes the more difficult it will become to build safely yourself which is when an expert exhibition stand builder should be considered as they will save you time, money and ensure your stand looks perfect.

  • How big should my exhibition stand be?

    How big your bespoke exhibition stand should be will depend on your budget and objectives as well as the products or services you are promoting. An entry level exhibition stand could be 3 X 2 sqm while large double decker exhibition stands can be hundreds of square metres in size. Look at your budget for the exhibition and plan the budget for space accordingly. However take into account that the budget should be split approximately 50% for space, 30% for stand build and 20% for exhibition services such as power, marketing and staff costs.

  • How do you build an exhibition stand?

    Exhibition stands are temporary structures, meant to provide a branded face to face experience for your customers at a trade show or exhibition. Simple exhibition stands can be built yourself while most complex stand designs will need a skilled exhibition stand builder to construct to ensure it complies with health & safety regulations. Modular exhibition stands are made from reuseable components which can often be built using a simple build plan, even for a complete novice.

  • What is a modular exhibition stand?

    A modular exhibition stand is a flexible, reusable system designed to adapt to different events. Lightweight, easy to transport, and quick to assemble, it offers endless reconfiguration possibilities – delivering high-impact displays with shorter lead times and long-term value. Unlike single-use custom builds, modular stands maximise ROI while minimising waste.

  • How do you reduce waste during stand build and breakdown?

    We follow a zero-waste strategy, using reusable modular frameworks, recyclable graphics, and eco-friendly flooring. Any materials reaching end-of-life are repurposed, recycled, or donated. Our focus on low-waste exhibiting ensures stands are designed for reuse, not landfill.

Modular exhibition stands

  • What’s the difference between a custom-built and modular exhibition stand?

    A traditional, disposable custom-built stand is designed for one-time use, often made from single use materials like painted MDF, which are discarded after the event. While impactful, they come with higher costs, longer lead times, and more waste.

    A modular exhibition stand is built using reusable components that can be reconfigured, customised, and adapted for multiple events. Modern modular systems now offer the same bold, bespoke designs as custom builds – but with greater flexibility, faster turnaround times, and long-term cost savings.

  • How do I make my modular exhibition display stand out?

    Dare to be different. A stand that stands out captures attention and keeps visitors engaged. Explore inventive layouts, bold graphics, and interactive features to create something unique to your brand. Whether it’s gamification, sensory experiences, or striking lighting, a modular stand transforms imagination into impact.

  • Why choose self-build exhibition stands?

    The main reason to choose a self-build exhibition stand is that it gives you the freedom to take your stand to any event with no installation team required. Once you have purchased, you have no other costs each time you exhibit and can use for any event you choose.

    Modular stands eliminate single-use waste, provide flexibility, and cut emissions across multiple events because they can be reused and reconfigured.

  • Are pop up exhibition stands the same as modular?

Choosing a low-carbon stand enhances authenticity, reputation, and trust, showing your audience, that sustainability and standout design can go hand in hand.

  • What materials are used in a sustainable exhibition stand design?

    Traditionally, single use plastics and wood would be used to create exhibition stands at events, causing significant waste. Net zero stands are made with durability, using a responsible supply chain and ecofriendly materials that can be reused or recycled.

    From framework to flooring, materials should offer the option to be reused or recycled.

    Our passion lies in using materials for a range of purposes and for a long time, giving our customers a responsible service for both their budget and the environment. Smart choices, big impact.

  • Are there sustainable conference solutions?

    Yes! Sustainability is at the core of everything Tecna does. Our conference builds use modular, reusable structures, eco-friendly materials, and waste-reducing strategies to minimise environmental impact. Plus, we help brands integrate sustainability into their events through smart design choices, energy-efficient AV setups, and responsible material sourcing. All conferences delivered by Tecna are carbon reported with mitigation built in.

  • What is a sustainable exhibition stand?

    Ditch the waste, not the wow-factor. The exhibition industry generates huge amounts of waste – but we’re here to disrupt that. Sustainable exhibition stands are built to last, constructed with longevity in mind, using high-quality materials that can be reused across different events. The materials your display stand is made out of, as well as the giveaways used can all impact the carbon footprint of the build. Achieve the perfect stand with responsible exhibition stand solutions that work for your goals, budget and the planet.
