Portable exhibition stands for trade shows, conferences and events: pop-up zipper walls, pop-up counters, double-sided stands and foam board displays. Lightweight, easy to put up and easy to transport, in 3x3m, 4x4m or a custom size, with your banners, flags and handouts printed alongside.
Stand Types
Choose from pop-up zipper walls for a full printed back wall, pop-up counters for the front of your space, double-sided stands that work from both directions and foam board displays for lighter, simpler graphics. Most stands combine two or three of these.
Sizes and Materials
Standard stand sizes are 3x3m and 4x4m, and we make custom sizes to fit your space. Graphics are printed on PVC vinyl or fabric, with colours that will not fade. Send us your floor plan or the organiser's space size and we will suggest a layout.
Design Help
Our design team can lay out your stand from your logo, photos and key messages, matching your back wall, counter, banners and flags so the whole space looks like one brand. You approve a proof before anything prints.

Stand types
Which type of exhibition stand do I need?
Most businesses need a printed back wall, a counter and one or two free-standing pieces. Here is what each part of a stand does.
| Stand | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Pop-up zipper walls | A folding frame with a printed graphic that zips over it to form a back wall | The main backdrop of a shell scheme or open space, with your logo at eye level and above heads |
| Pop-up counters | A printed counter that folds down for transport | The front of your stand: somewhere to talk, demo a product or lay out leaflets |
| Double-sided stands | A stand printed on both faces | Island spaces, walkways and corners where visitors approach from both directions |
| Foam board displays | Rigid, lightweight printed boards | Simpler table-top or wall displays, information panels and short events |
| Pull up banners | A roll-up banner on a cassette base | Adding height and messages to the sides of any stand |
Exhibition display stands work best as a set. A zipper wall gives you the brand, a counter gives you a place to stand, and a couple of pull up banners or teardrop flags carry your offer at the edges. Browse everything for the day in conference and event printing.
Sizes
What size exhibition stand do I need?
Match the stand to the space the organiser gives you: 3x3m and 4x4m are our standard sizes, and we make custom sizes for anything else.
4x4m
Room for a bigger back wall, a demo area and seating, or a double-sided stand on a corner.
Custom
A long run of wall, an island space or a table-top display. Send us the dimensions and we will suggest a layout.
Ask about a custom sizeReused stands
Exhibiting again? Ask us about printing new graphics for a stand you already own.
Check the organiser's exhibitor pack before you order. It gives the exact space, the height limit and whether walls are provided. Send it to us with your quote request and we will make sure the stand fits the space and the rules of the venue.
Materials
Fabric or PVC vinyl: which is better for display stands?
Choose fabric when you want a soft, glare-free finish that packs small, and PVC vinyl when you want a smooth, wipe-clean surface. Both are printed with colours that will not fade.
Fabric. A soft, matt finish without glare under hall lighting, and it folds down small. A good choice for portable exhibition stands that travel to several shows.
PVC vinyl. A smooth, sharp surface for crisp text and photography, easy to wipe clean between events.
Lightweight and easy to transport. Our pop up stands are designed for easy assembly and transport, so your own team can put them up at the venue. Ask us what comes with your stand when you request your quote.
Not sure which suits your show? Tell us how often you exhibit and how you travel, and we will recommend one.
Turnaround
How long does it take to print exhibition stands?
Exhibition stands are large format work, so the print date is confirmed with your quote. Give us your show date when you ask and we plan the job around it.
Send your details
Use the quick quote form or call 01 284 4777 with your space size, stand parts and show date. We reply within one working day.
Design and proof
Send print ready files or let our studio lay out the stand. Every file is checked and you approve a proof.
Printed on site
Your stand graphics are printed on our production floor in Dún Laoghaire, on the date in your quote.
Delivered or collected
Next-day delivery nationwide once printed, to your office or the venue where that suits, or collection from 24 Kill Avenue.
Book your stand as soon as you have your space confirmed. Leave time for design, proofing and a test build in your office before the show, so nothing is a surprise on set-up day. If the trade show has a deadline for delivery to the venue, tell us that date rather than the show date.
Artwork specs
How should I set up artwork for an exhibition stand?
Ask us for the template for your stand, then keep the key message high and big. We check every file before it prints so your stand looks sharp from across the hall.
| Setting | What we need | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Template | Our template for your stand and size | Each frame wraps differently, so the visible area and the wrap-around are marked |
| Message height | Logo and headline in the top part of the wall | Tables, people and counters hide the bottom of the wall at a busy show |
| Text | A headline, a short line on what you do, your web address | Visitors decide whether to stop in a few seconds as they walk past |
| Images | The largest, best quality version you have | Small images stretched to wall size print soft; we flag it before print |
| Colour | CMYK, or send RGB and we convert it | Screen colours shift in print, and we match your stand, banners and flags |
| File type | PDF to the template, fonts embedded | Keeps layout and colour fixed |
No artwork yet? Our design team can create the whole stand from your logo and messages and match it to your other event print. See graphic design for how that works.
