Exhibition Printing Checklist: Everything Your Stand Needs

From backdrops to business cards, a complete checklist so nothing is forgotten before your next trade show.

Printed banners on display at an outdoor exhibition

Exhibitions at venues like Dubai World Trade Centre, Expo City and ADNEC move fast. Build-up windows are short, and a missing banner is hard to fix on the day. Use this checklist to plan your print well ahead.

Stand structure and graphics

  • Backdrop or booth graphics, sized to your stand plan
  • Shell scheme panels or seamless wall graphics
  • Counter or reception desk wraps
  • Hanging signs if the venue allows them, so you’re visible across the hall

Portable displays

  • Roll-up banners for the stand edges and any breakout sessions
  • Flags or totems to add height near the aisle
  • Brochure stands and table covers

Things visitors take away

  • Business cards for every team member
  • Brochures, flyers or product sheets
  • Branded giveaways such as pens, bottles or tote bags

For your team

  • Branded polos or T-shirts so staff are easy to spot
  • Lanyards and name badges

Timeline

Check the organiser’s stand manual for sizes, materials and deadlines as soon as you book. Aim to finalise artwork three to four weeks before the show so there’s time for proofs and production, and confirm delivery or installation times with the venue.

We can handle the whole list in one order. See our event displays, flags and badges and lanyards, or share your stand plan for a quote.
