Frequently Asked Questions.
What is a custom exhibtion stand?
A custom exhibition stand is a bespoke display that has been designed and constructed to meet specific requirements, brand guidelines and objectives. Custom exhibition stands can vary widely in size, shape, materials and features, offering flexibility and creativity in presentation.
Do I need to provide specific design ideas or can you create a concept for me?
We welcome both! Collaboration is key to creating amazing designs. Whether you have a specific vision in mind or prefer guidance from our team, we can work with you develop a bespoke concept tailored to your brand and objectives.
How long does the whole custom display process take?
9-12months out
Start the internal planning process with your stakeholders and prepare your stand brief outline.
6-9months out
Once you’ve determined your “must have” and “nice to have” priorities, get in touch with our team to discuss your brief and we can start the custom design process with you. Don’t worry if it’s a full brief or not, we’re dedicated to sharing our expertise and imaginative solutions with you for a successful outcome.
1-6months out
Even if you’re in the later stages of planning, we’re here to assist! While good design takes time, we can still work with you to ensure a successful outcome for your custom display whether it be a custom design or from our Premium Hire range.
What is the custom design process?
Step 1: Understanding Your Objectives
We begin with a briefing process to determine your stand objectives, brand essence and budget. We can quickly determine if you require our custom design services or alternatively if a Premium Hire design from our in-house range would be best suited to your needs.
Step 2: Developing Your Design
Our skilled industrial designers will work closely with you to conceptualise a bespoke display design aligned with your brief. You receive a full colour renders and a detailed quote with all your inclusions.
Step 3: Fabricating Your Solution
Upon design approval, our Producers and Project Management team will oversee production to ensure timely delivery against set milestones. We also offer a ‘Test Assemble’ service for you to view the display ahead of dispatch and installation.
Step 4: Managing Your Delivery
Our installations team will handle the build, ensuring safe and show-ready installation. We will have a dedicated hand-over session with you and your team once completed to ensure that you have a full understanding of your display and everything is in working order.
Step 5: Providing Your Support
After installation, your Account Manager will conduct a debriefing session with you and your disposal or post storage solutions for future use of your display.
How much does it cost for a custom exhibition stand?
The cost of a custom exhibition stand can vary depending on several factors, including the size, design complexity, materials used and additional features. To ensure you receive the best rates and value for your stand, provide us with as much time as possible before the event date to collaborate on the design with you, source materials, fabricate your solution and arrange logistics. Time is a cruical factor in the custom design process which allows us to optimise efficiencies and negotiate favourable terms, ultimately delivering a cost-effective solution tailored to your needs.
Get in touch with the DisplayWise team and we can provide you with a detailed design and quote or an estimated cost based on your brief. We will work with you to develop a customised solution that fits within your budget while achieving your desired objectives for the exhibition.
Can you store my custom display?
Yes. We can store your custom display in either our Sydney or Melbourne production facilities. We consider your holistic exhibition strategy at the start of the briefing process and discuss the options with you for disposal or long-term storage solutions based on your requirements.
Can you work with my specific budget?
Yes. During the briefing process, we will discuss what is achievable within your budget parameters. If we determine that a custom design is outside your budget then we can also offer a solution from our exhibition Premium Hire range which is not only visually appealing but also affordable price points.
How long does it take to build a custom exhibition stand?
The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the design and size of the stand. We will provide you with a clear timeline with set milestone dates during the consultation phase including design approval, production and installation. We even offer a Test Assemble Service for your to view your display prior to dispatch and installation.
What is a test assemble service?
To ensure we have developed a solution that meets the demands of your bespoke requirements, DisplayWise offer a full test assemble service for all display builds. This extension of service provides you with the opportunity to see the display fully assembled prior to it being installed and/or delivered to site.
The process allows you complete visibility of the project to ensure any modifications can be identified ahead of time, resulting in both a better and faster installation process. We welcome you to invite your staff along to the test assemble for training and briefing benefits ahead of the show too.
Can the custom display be reused for multiple events?
Yes, if you want your custom display to include elements of modularity we can design with reuse and repurpose in mind. We’ll discuss this with you during the briefing phase and develop a design for easy adaptation to different spaces and configurations. Alternatively, you can select from our Premium Hire range if you’re considering an exhibition stand.
All of our designs come from overseas. Can you still help us?
Yes, we can definitely assist you, although it’s important to note that designs tailored for an overseas market may not always translate seamlessly to the Australian market. We will work with you to make nuanced adjustments to ensure your exhibition stand or activation resonates effectively with the Australian audience and aligns with your specific objectives. While we can capture the essence of the original design, we’ll tailor it to suit the preferences, material availability, legalities and needs of the Australian market.
Is delivery and labour included in the cost?
The delivery and labour are calculated by location and time frame of delivery and collection, size of order and type of product. We will provide you with a breakdown of charges in your quotation.
