Discovery
We pride ourselves on our creative brief taking.
In collaboration with our clients, we leave no stone unturned working with you to curate an accurate and effective brief to understand your shell scheme stand design and build objectives.
Shell Scheme Stands
Professional finish, shell scheme value.
Design and Build
A shell scheme booth transformed by custom-designed graphics, panels, and finish, built to the same standard as our bespoke work.
Our Impact
Make an impact with Shell Scheme Stands
Shell scheme exhibition stands use the venue's standard booth frame, plain white walls supplied as part of your space. We design shell scheme stands that look professional at a fraction of the cost, graphics printed to spec, panels finished cleanly and lighting and fittings beyond the venue standard.
For first-time exhibitors or tighter budgets, shell scheme design delivers a professional, on-brand presence without the lead time or cost of a modular or custom build. Same design team, same attention to detail, just applied to the shell scheme format.

Our Philosophy
Tried and Tested
Strategy
Our in-house shell scheme stand designers then get to work.
Understanding your brief and applying their years of exhibition experience, they start defining methods, researching engagement strategies and considering the sustainability approach to your stand development.
Creative
Ideas then become reality.
Through concept development, sketch designs and finally 3D renders are then presented to you for final sign off of your shell scheme design with any amends required, ready to move into production and build phase.

Insights
Shell Scheme Finishing
Shell scheme stands delivered fast, finished properly. One designer handles your shell scheme exhibition stand from graphics concept to panel install. They know the venue spec, the booth dimensions and how to turn a standard shell scheme into something that stops visitors mid-aisle.
Your project manager will ensure your shell scheme display delivery goes without a hitch. They will get to know your brand inside out and relay this to the design and build teams. Think of your shell scheme exhibition stand project manager as an extension of your own team, rather than an external assistant.

FAQs
A shell scheme exhibition stand uses the venue's standard booth frame, usually plain white wall panels with metal post structures, supplied as part of your floor space. You usually choose between shell scheme exhibition stand of space only, or if you prefer less limitations to your exhibition stand whether it be increased height to optimise a modular exhibition stand, or a bigger presence with a custom exhibition stand. Creation transforms your shell scheme using modular framework to create a seamless graphic backdrop, complimented with lighting and additional furniture if you require. This can totally set you apart from the other shell scheme exhibition stands around you.
A shell scheme stand uses the venue's pre-built booth frame, while a custom exhibition stand is designed and built from scratch to achieve more ambitious designs. Shell scheme delivers a professional, on-brand presence at a fraction of the cost and without the lead time of full custom build, which makes it ideal for first-time exhibitors or tighter budgets.
The venue provides the standard shell scheme frame, usually plain white walls and a carpet as part of your shell scheme stand. Creation Exhibitions adds everything that makes it yours: floor to ceiling seamless printed graphics, quality lighting and a range of additional fittings such as shelving, product display and more - all built to the same standard as our custom builds.
Shell scheme exhibition stands from Creation start from £5,000. The final cost depends on the size of your space and the graphics, lighting and finishes you need. We quote to your brief, not off a fixed price list. We can include integrated shelves, product display and other features, which can often create a hybrid exhibition stand. Again, don’t get caught up with definitions. We start with your vision, create a 3D design proposal free of charge and quote to your budget for the full journey.
What you do with the frame is what separates your stand from the identical boxes either side, and that is how Creation gets you noticed. We design shell scheme stands that punch above their weight, using graphics printed to spec, panels finished properly and lighting and fittings beyond the venue standard.
Shell scheme stands are well suited to first-time exhibitors. They deliver a professional, on-brand presence without the lead time or cost of a full custom exhibition build, using the same Creation design team and the same attention to detail applied to the shell scheme format that we use on our custom built stands or our modular stands. They can still form an important part of more regular exhibitors schedule.
