Exhibition Stand Pricing Guide

Every booth we deliver comes with the essentials including a solid stand structure, full-colour finish, carpet, seating, pantry, lighting, as well as professional installation and dismantling. This ensures you always start with a professional foundation. From there, you can choose between three package levels: Basic, for straightforward builds that cover the essentials; Standard, which balances functionality with stronger design features; and Premium, offering the highest level of customisation and finish for maximum impact. We believe in all-inclusive exhibition stand pricing with zero post-show billing, so you have full cost clarity and no hidden surprises. The final price depends on the design concept, stand size, event location, level of customisation, and execution detail. To keep things transparent, we've grouped our pricing into three clear size categories: Small, Medium, and Large exhibition stands.

Medium exhibition stands

Perfect for brands seeking greater engagement areas and striking visual elements. Pricing for medium stands ranges from €15,000 to €35,000 with higher categories offering stronger visual impact.
