A lot of clients ask us how we go about designing an exhibition stand and how long we need to produce it?
Well a year would be nice but in an ideal world you should be looking at a 3 – 4 months turn around time but this will be dependent on a number of factors.
Firstly you would need to take into consideration is your own internal approval times, do you need to get sign off from lots of people?
Secondly do you need to get your graphics signed off through your legal department and does the stand have to go through legal too?
Legal sign off is usually a big stumbling block to timings, we have found from our experience especially on complex stands bringing in the legal department in early into the design schedule that way they have an idea of what is going on from the start, or alternatively flag up the schedule to them in advance so they are aware of print deadline times so they can allocate time in their diary for your project in advance.
Another sticking point to your perfect schedule is exhibition organisers approval, they will need to sign off your stand design by a certain date, depending on the size and complexity this may need additional approval and drawings , so see when this deadline is too and work back.
All these extra times will need to be factored in to make sure you have an easy run in on your exhibition journey.

Do not worry we can help you with all these deadlines and we will tailor a timeline for you so you know when everything is needed.
Although not recommended when all is said and done we have turned jobs around from brief to completion and on site in under a month so talk to us even if all deadlines have passed.
The Design Process is all about getting to know you and understanding what you need and want to achieve. We brake them down into 4 steps:
1/ What is your Brief ? – Brand identity – what is your mission? – YOU – Your Products
