New Shell Scheme Stand Design by Avondale Exhibitions

What Is a Traditional Shell Scheme?

Choosing the right material for your show build is crucial, making Traditional shell scheme the sensible first-choice; Avondale Exhibitions are the biggest trade supplier of Traditional shell scheme in the UK and are a safe pair of hands, always happy to help.

The standard height for shell scheme stands is 2.74m high, but we also hold stock from 2m high upwards to 4m; stands will have a fascia of 300mm and metal posts to each open corner, with additional supports for anything over 6.5m long.

Traditional shell scheme is made from batten and plywood walls allowing the fixing of items to the walls using nails, screws, staples and pins, making it highly customisable to your needs. As standard, walls will be painted white, but this can be changed with any vinyl matt colour of choice.

Why Choose a Shell Scheme for Your Next Exhibition?

Businesses that want to fund a professional display but lack resources for building their own set ought to consider shell scheme exhibition stands. Exhibitors can install personalised signage, banners, colored lighting and carpet flooring to distinguish their stand without breaking the bank.

Shell schemes are popular with start-ups, SMEs, and UK exporters seeking new markets. They provide the perfect platform for both branding and product displays without incurring costs that would make a full bespoke build necessary. You can transport, assemble and reuse a shell scheme booth easily. It is an excellent compromise between appearance and ease of use.
