Shell Scheme exhibition stands
Shell scheme stands which make a big impact
Won’t break your budget
The perfect transitional stand
Easy to store
What is a shell scheme exhibition stand?
Shell schemes are the most cost-effective of all exhibition stand systems.
They’re a uniform way in which exhibition organisers assign designated spaces for exhibitors. Typically, they’re advertised by the metre (3x3m or 3x4m are common sizes), so they’re compact – but still make a big impression!
Constructed from aluminium poles with walls, they provide a blank canvas ready to bring your brand to life. You can either attach graphics directly to the walls or look at other systems (such as pop-up banners) to make the space your own.

What are the benefits of a shell scheme stand?
Don’t be put off by their small size – your imagination is the only limitation of a shell scheme space!
A shell scheme stand is a great way to exhibit if this is your first foray into large-scale events or if you’re a business that wants to exhibit in different zones of the same exhibition venue.
With the right approach, a shell scheme stand can be an incredibly flexible, visually effective, lead-generating investment – and you don’t have to break the bank.
You can easily store these graphics yourself, but if you’re tight on space, we can store your shell scheme stand. Or you could consider hiring stand elements to eliminate the storage headache.
Restricted on space but have big ideas? We’ll bring them to life!

FAQ’s
What is a shell scheme stand?
A shell scheme refers to the exhibition stand space assigned to you when you book an exhibition stand. Typically, these are advertised by the metre (3x3m or 3x4m are common sizes) and are the most common form of exhibition stand. They are a uniform way in which exhibition organisers put together designated spaces for exhibitors.
What are the pros and cons of a shell scheme?
Pros
- A shell stand is a great way to exhibit if you are making the ‘step up’ from pop-up graphics or if this is your first foray into a large-scale exhibition. The only limitation of this space is your imagination!
- You can easily store your graphics yourself, but if you’re tight on space (for a charge), we can store your shell scheme exhibition stand graphics for you.
Cons
- Do it on a tiny budget, and you’ll disappear into a busy exhibition hall!
- Your space is predetermined.
- You cannot exceed the maximum height of 2.4m
- Unless you book a corner plot, you will be mid-aisle with plenty of competition around you.
How can a shell scheme design stand out to visitors?
We’ll create a showstopping stand with amazing graphics to get you noticed.
Here are some top tips that you can follow to help draw more visitors in:
- Ask the question, “What extra value can we bring to visitors?”. For example, could you use a guest speaker to give free advice to your prospective customers?
- Make it clear what your business offers.
- Ensure you have good marketing and awareness before the exhibition.
- Give existing customers a reason to visit if they’re at the event.
- People attract people! Prospective customers will flock to an already busy stand – their curiosity will get the better of them.
- Offer freebies: coffee, snacks, giveaways, games to play and competitions to enter.
What are the most effective ways to lay out my shell scheme stand?
Good planning and working with experts!
The layout of your stand will depend on what you are showcasing and the space you have booked. So, working with specialists to design and build the space will bring new ideas, introduce you to different ways to tell your brand story, and take the guesswork out of exhibiting.
What do I do if I’ve already booked my shell scheme stand?
Write a good brief and share it with us! It’s never too early to get the process underway. A thorough brief will ensure the process is as stress-free as possible and that every decision is well-considered.
Start preparing for your exhibition with a checklist. This will ensure your internal processes are seamless, and you can keep track of your project minute by minute.
