Keep in mind that the budget estimates provided below are general ranges and can vary based on specific requirements and customisation. Please note that these costs may have changed since publication.
Banner Stands
Vertical banners or displays that are cost-effective and easy to set up. They are suitable for smaller spaces and are often used for branding.

These are basic, modular stands provided by the event organisers. They often include a back wall, side walls, carpet and basic lighting.

Stands incorporating technology such as touchscreens, interactive displays, or virtual reality. These stands can create a more engaging experience.

Custom Built Stands
Fully customised stands designed and built according to specific requirements. They offer the highest level of flexibility and branding opportunities.

It’s important to note that these are general estimates, and actual costs can vary based on individual requirements, design complexity and the choice of materials. Additionally, costs associated with graphics, furniture, flooring, AV equipment, transportation and installation should be considered in the overall budget.
