What floor areas do you build a Modular stand for?

We work in the 9-150 m² range, and 0 published projects on this site are of this type. What decides the layout is not the area but how many sides are open and what you want to show on the walls; we use the same system on a small corner stand and on an island in the middle of the hall.

How long does a Modular stand take to build?

The build in the hall takes 1-2 days; the schedule of the hall matters as much as the size of the stand. Our own crew does the build, and we take the dismantle at closing too.

How does the process work for a Modular stand?

We start with the floor area, the open sides and the fair date, then draw the design. Once it is approved the stand is produced in the workshop and built in the hall to the fair calendar; at closing, our crew dismantles it.

Can we use our own graphics on a modular stand?

Yes, every panel is printed with your artwork. You send the logo and images, we prepare the layout to the panel module and submit it for your approval; on a comfortable schedule the print files close 4 weeks before the fair.

Will it be ready if the hall allows only one day for the build?

That is exactly the situation we recommend a modular stand for. Because the parts have been assembled once in the workshop, the sequence in the hall is fixed; most jobs are handed over within a day, and we walk the stand together the day before opening.

Can you add shelving, display cases or a screen?

We can. Shelves and display cases arrive attached to the frame, and a floor stand or wall bracket for the screen goes into the plan. If the product is heavy we make a plinth in the workshop rather than loading the panel.

When should we start on a modular stand?

A comfortable schedule starts 8 weeks before the fair: design approval at 6 weeks, production and print at 4 weeks, trial assembly in the workshop at 1 week. For jobs that come in later we run an accelerated programme. Put the fair name, dates and your floor area into the quote form; the first concept is free.

What is a modular stand and how does it differ from timber?

A modular stand is assembled in the hall from pre-made profiles and panels; a custom timber stand is built from scratch in the workshop for that stand alone. The difference shows in build time and freedom of form: a modular layout goes up in a day and works with flat surfaces, while timber takes longer but allows curved surfaces, concealed lighting and bespoke display cases. We tell you which one fits by looking at your floor area and fair schedule.

Stand type

Modular exhibition stands

We recommend a modular stand at fairs where the hall gives one or two days for the build, and for floor areas between 9 and 150 square metres. The stand is made up of frame and panel components prepared in the workshop; nothing is cut or painted in the hall, the parts are connected and the graphics drop into place. For a job that has to open quickly, has fixed dimensions and carries no heavy load on the walls, this is the type we are most comfortable with.

How we produce it

We take the floor area and the open sides and draw the design in three dimensions. After approval the frames, panels, counter and, if there is one, the back room are prepared in our own workshop in Beylikdüzü. Panels are printed or painted; where tension fabric print is wanted it is stretched onto the frame in the workshop. Spotlights and the backlit logo arrive attached to the frame, and the cabling runs inside it.

Every part is numbered and the stand is assembled once in the workshop before shipping. When it reaches the hall our crew knows the sequence: frame, panels, lighting, furniture. The build takes a day on most jobs and two days on larger areas, and at the close of the fair we dismantle it as well.

Where we have used it

Most of the small and mid-sized system stands published on this site were built with maxima, and modular follows the same approach. For a sense of scale: the Evafone stand at Petzoo Eurasia 2026 was 12 square metres, the Grossan stand at Eurasia Packaging 2024 and the Eonus stand at EV Charge Show 2025 were 25 square metres each, and the Saes stand at wire & Tube 2024 in Düsseldorf was 25 square metres. For a plot of that size we can draw the modular and the maxima option on the same plan and show them together.

What we pay attention to

Height: the panel height is chosen to the hall's stand height rule, and the rear face towards the neighbour is closed.
Heavy products: a modular panel carries no load. A heavy product stands on its own plinth, which we prepare in the workshop, or directly on the floor.
Lighting: spots are fixed to the frame, the backlit logo runs on its own circuit, and we order the electrical connection in the hall from the organiser ourselves.
Furniture: the meeting table, stools, brochure holder and lockable cupboard go into the plan from the start.
Floor: carpet or laminate is decided together with the cable routing.

When we recommend a modular stand

In three cases a modular stand is our first recommendation. First, fairs where the organiser allows one day for the build: custom timber cannot meet that schedule, a modular layout is up in a day. Second, companies attending several fairs a year with a different plot size each time; the same system adapts to different sizes. Third, plots between nine and thirty square metres, where a modular layout covers the need for a flat facade, storage and a counter.

There are cases where we do not recommend it: for a company that wants to stand out with curved surfaces, concealed lighting and bespoke display cases we recommend custom timber, and for a high-facade stand above fifty square metres the maxima system. Tell us your area and fair schedule and we will say which fits and why.

The difference between modular and maxima

Both are aluminium profile systems and we cut and number both to size in our workshop before taking them to the hall. The difference is load capacity: a standard modular profile carries flat walls, panels and counters; the maxima box profile carries walls above four metres, LED facades, mezzanines and rigging loads. That is why we choose modular for small and medium plots and maxima for large, high ones.

Build time follows: modular one day, maxima two to three. On the graphics side both use the same print method — fabric tensioned on the panel or applied film. We can write both options side by side in the quote; you decide once you see the difference.

Modular: cities we have built in

We produce this type in the same workshop for fairs in Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir and the German venues and build it in the hall with our own crew; the cities we serve are listed on the locations page.
