Shell Scheme

A shell scheme is a modular system supplied to many exhibitors, in most cases, by the exhibition organizers. This system normally comes in one metre modules and can be built to just about any size, based on the booking made or space chosen from the organizers list.

It is a ready-made and typically includes stand walls, lighting, carpet and possibly a power socket.

In the majority of cases the shell schemes supplied by the exhibition organizer are very basic but with a little imagination a simple shell scheme can be enhanced and tailored to meet exhibitors’ objectives.

One way of making your shell scheme stand out from the crowd is to change the colour of the panels to match your corporate colours and give a Vibrant full-colour graphic panels incorporating your themes. Corporate message and branding can cover the entire width and height of your shell scheme panels.

Fresh Business Thinking Tip – Remember that at an exhibitor you have about 3 seconds to grab the attention of a visitor so make sure that your message is sharp and to the point!

Carpet tiles, furniture and a company name board might be included in the shell scheme.
