Shell Scheme Graphics – What Is Best For Your Booth

You will have a plethora of options when it comes to exhibition displays. What you choose will usually depend on the space you have to occupy, whether a booth or floor space. Out of these options, shell schemes are arguably one of the most rewarding ones.

Shell schemes are sectioned-off booths that you rent as your exhibition display. They are generally all lined up alongside each other, having three walls and an open front. These three sides carry your branding and advertisement and contribute to the results you derive from the exhibition.

Reaping Maximum Benefits From A Shell Scheme

Irrespective of the type of shell scheme graphics you find the best for you, there are certain things you must consider.

To make the most of a shell scheme, you should first understand how you want a prospective customer to perceive your brand. What message do you want to carry across? What first impression do you want to make?

Within the small attention span (of around 5 seconds) you have to attract them, they should know why they need to do business with you.

In terms of the design, your shell scheme graphics should be appealing enough to catch the eye of the audience. It should not seem too cluttered, with your message instantly recognisable. Also, ensure that your branding is at centre stage in your design.

Shell Scheme Printing Material

With shell scheme graphics, you can choose from a range of materials to print on, depending on what best suits your needs.

Your choice shall depend on several factors. For instance, will you be reusing these graphics?

Here are some of the most popular substrates for shell scheme graphics.

Rigid Substrates

Printing on rigid substrates is one of the simplest ways to produce shell scheme graphics. Foam PVC or foamex has been our longstanding favourite. It is robust, lightweight and cost-effective. Moreover, they work really well with stand-offs and routed-out sections.

However, on the flip side, the fact that it can’t be rolled up or folded serves as its main disadvantage. Its transportation becomes challenging. Also, you’ll need to discard it responsibly if you’re not going to reuse it, as PVC is non-recyclable.

If you want to opt for rigid panels that are more eco-friendly than foamex, the Dispa board could be the answer. You could also choose display cards, but they are not nearly as durable as foam PVC.

All these rigid panels attach to the shell scheme by Velcro. This makes them easy to erect and equally simple to remove after the event.

Lightstop Graphic Panels

PVC or polyester film is another credible option for shell scheme graphics. Its scratch-resistant film on the surface prevents any handling hazards. It is durable and lightweight, but unlike foamex, it can be folded or rolled up. This makes transporting them much easier.

These panels usually have universal fixings, which lock in the columns and supports of the shell schemes. You can also attach them using Velcro.

Shell Clad Systems

These panels convene to create a seamless display system that either comprises the lightstop panels described above or uses fabrics. The graphics attach to the shell scheme by covering the corners and the three sides. So businesses and exhibitors generally choose them over the alternatives for their more appealing and uniform look.

Shell clad systems are reasonably hardwearing as you can reuse them for many exhibitions graphics. All you need to do is to update and reprint the graphic panels if required. To ensure they serve you well for numerous trade shows, you must get the system right for your business.
