0208 150 3330Designed for the show floor
Build a destination, not just a display.
Your stand needs to attract attention from the aisle and work hard once people step inside. We bring visitor flow, product demonstrations, meeting areas, reception and storage into one design. Material finishes, dimensional branding and integrated lighting create a coherent environment. We plan the practical build alongside the visual concept, so transport, assembly and removal are considered before fabrication begins.
- In-house design & fabrication
- Timber, metal & acrylic features
- Illuminated towers
- Reception counters & displays
- Hanging banners & truss coordination
The difference
A different way
to show up.
01 / The usual way
A bare space-only plot
A footprint alone does not explain your brand, organise conversations or give products a stage.
02 / With Clever Signs
A purpose-built visitor journey
A visible landmark, welcoming reception, planned demonstrations and practical storage make every square metre work harder.
How it works
A practical plan
for your deadline.
01
Define the experience
Set your audience, demo areas, conversations and practical storage needs.
02
Design & fabricate
Agree drawings, finishes, graphics and venue approval responsibilities.
03
Build & de-rig
Schedule transport, installation, handover and removal around the venue timetable.
How it fits together
Every part has a job.
Attract
Sightlines, landmark signage and open entrances.
Engage
Demonstration, product displays and conversation.
Operate
Storage, safe cables and crew access.
The practical details
Made to spec.
Ready for the venue.
Share your footprint, budget, goals and organiser technical pack. We plan visitor flow, storage, electrics, height limits and installation sequencing. Suspended loads, truss, structural details and approvals are scoped with appropriate specialists and venue permissions before work begins.
- Structure & finishes
- Timber, metal and acrylic components, with finishes agreed from drawings and samples.
- Graphic integration
- Dimensional signs, printed walls, illuminated features and branded counters.
- Lighting & power
- Power demand, distribution, cable routes and electrical contractor responsibilities agreed before build. PAT/test records requested where applicable.
- Structural scope
- Towers, suspended elements and any multi-level proposal require appropriate engineering and organiser approval.
- Fire documentation
- Confirm the selected material’s fire-test documentation against the show manual. Request B1/M1 or other required evidence; classifications are not interchangeable and approval is organiser-specific.
- Packing & lifecycle
- Transport protection, component labelling, assembly sequence and de-rig plan scoped for each project.
- Hall & dock delivery
- Share show name, hall, stand number, unloading slot and on-site contact. Confirm vehicle booking, delivery labels, passes and any approved handling contractor before dispatch.
- Design approvals
- Submit plans to the organiser in time for review. Confirm height limits, open sides, structural calculations and any rigging through approved specialists.
- Build & breakdown
- Coordinate labour, flooring, electrical connections and handover around the official build timetable. Confirm removal, waste and storage responsibilities.
Fire documentation and any electrical checks must match the chosen materials, equipment and show requirements. No blanket certification is assumed.
Our factory. Our crew.
From the printer
to the show floor.
02 / Finish
Silicone edge, sewn by hand
SEG fabric graphics are trimmed and finished with silicone edging so they fit the frame tight and wrinkle-free.
03 / Cut
Rigid panels, cut to template
Foamex and board panels are printed, cut on the flatbed and labelled by stand and wall before packing.
04 / Deliver
Out of the door, into the hall
Our own crew loads and drives to the venue—our studio is 5min from the ExCel London.
05 / Install
Fitted by people who made it
The same crew installs on the show floor, working to the organiser’s build-up timetable, including evenings and weekends.
06 / Hand over
Checked before doors open
Every panel and graphic is checked, snagged and signed off with you before the show starts.
Before the doors open
Your questions.
Straight answers.
Still have a question?
Talk it through with the studio.
A quick call often answers more than a page of FAQs — share your space, timings and brand assets.
Call 0208 150 3330info@cleversigns.co.uk01Can you design the stand as well as build it?
Yes. We start with your footprint, audience, goals and practical needs, then agree design, fabrication and installation scope together.
02Can a bespoke stand be built on the same day?
A custom stand requires a project-specific programme. Same-day print capability does not mean a same-day designed and approved stand build.
03Can you include hanging signs or a second level?
These can be explored during design, but engineering, approved rigging and organiser permission must be agreed first. Concept imagery is not a verified structural specification.
04Can elements be reused?
We can plan components for repeat events, subject to storage, transport, condition and the dimensions of your next stand.
