Premium frame systems
UK-wide coverage
From £4,203 + VAT
A modular stand is a kit of standard frame parts (beams, connectors and feet) that lock together into walls, counters, lightboxes and towers. Seamless fabric graphics (SEG) stretch over the frame, so the finish looks like a custom build, but the frame itself is reused show after show.
Because the parts are standard, the same kit can be a 3m x 3m stand at one show and part of a 6m x 6m island at the next. Only the graphics change.
There are three ways to have a modular stand with Redblu. We build our hire stands from modular systems for one-off shows, so you don't need to buy, store or build a stand yourself. If you exhibit at the same size several times, buying can make sense: a purchased stand tends to pay for itself in about three shows compared with hiring.
| Hire | Buy | Bring your own kit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who owns the frame | Redblu (back into our stock after the show) | You | You |
| Graphics | Printed for you, yours to keep | Printed for you, yours to keep | Reused or reprinted |
| Design | Free 3D design | Free 3D design | Redesign around your kit |
| Storage between shows | None needed | With us (monthly or annual fee) or at your premises | With us or at your premises |
| Best for | One-off shows and changing stand sizes | The same stand size several times | Companies that already own Aluvision, T3 or similar kit |
| Price guide | Fixed-price packages from £4,203 + VAT | Priced per design; tends to pay for itself in about three shows | Install and dismantle priced per show |
There are two kinds of price. Package stands are fixed price: the price in our stand calculator is the price you pay, for design, printed graphics, the stand system, delivery, build and dismantle. Custom stands are priced per design, depending on what is included, the location and the build time. All prices exclude VAT.
Space-only package stands, lowest price for each size by wall height:
| Stand size | 2.5m walls | 3m walls | 3.5m walls |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3m x 3m | £4,267 | £4,507 | £4,747 |
| 4m x 3m | £4,417 | £4,717 | £5,017 |
| 6m x 3m | £4,909 | £5,329 | £5,749 |
| 6m x 6m | £5,443 | £5,683 | £5,923 |
The smallest space-only package (3m x 2m, 2.5m walls) starts at £4,203 + VAT; island packages start at £5,315 + VAT. Shell scheme packages, built inside the organiser's shell with 2.36m walls, start at £2,262 + VAT. See every design and size in the stand selector.
Usually included: design, printed fabric graphics (yours to keep), the modular system, counters and listed furniture, screens and flooring, delivery, installation, dismantle, project management and recycling of consumables.
Usually excluded: mains power and sockets, venue services, rigging and hanging points, and internet, which are booked with the venue's contractors. Your quote lists exactly what is in it.
Send a brief and within 48 hours you get a free 3D concept and an itemised price. Aim to order a stand build about five weeks before the show, and allow more time if you can.

We print your seamless fabric graphics, which are yours to keep.
Our crew builds the stand, takes it down after the show and returns the frame to stock.
For a one-off show, hire is the simplest choice: you pay one fixed price and there is nothing to buy, store or build afterwards. If you exhibit at the same stand size several times, a purchased modular stand tends to pay for itself in about three shows compared with hiring. After that you pay mainly for transport, build, dismantle and any new graphics, plus storage between shows (we can store it for a monthly or annual fee, or deliver it back to you). Ask us to price both routes for your show calendar.
Yes. Visitors see the graphics, lighting and layout, not the frame. Seamless fabric covers the frame edge to edge, LEDline and lightboxes light it from inside, and the layout is designed around your brief, not chosen from a catalogue.
We build with two systems and choose per design. Both take seamless fabric graphics and LED lightboxes. Space-only packages come with 2.5m, 3m or 3.5m walls; shell scheme packages use 2.36m walls to fit inside the organiser's shell. Custom stands can be built to other heights up to a maximum of 4m.
| Aluvision | T3 | |
|---|---|---|
| Strength | Large walls, towers and lightboxes with a premium seamless finish | Exact widths, any wall height, slim TV walls and counters |
| Sizes | Stock beam sizes (3m lightbox components in stock) | Easier to hit an exact width |
| Lightboxes | Backlit fabric with LEDline trim | Edge-lit and backlit |
| Curves | Possible, normally a purchase (custom beams) | Mostly straight runs |
| Stock and spares | We are the Scottish Aluvision partner and keep spares | Large stock in Glasgow and Hampshire |
| Typical use | Island and peninsula stands, statement walls | Package stands, inline and corner stands |
Every route is built on reusable modular kit from an ESSA Tier 5 accredited supplier, in any layout: inline, corner, peninsula or island.

From our Glasgow and Hampshire depots, we serve every major UK exhibition venue. Logistics, freight and on-site management all handled.
Redblu holds ESSA Tier 5 sustainability accreditation (2026), the highest of ESSA's six tiers, assessed on evidence and renewed every year. On ESSA's list of 8 October 2026, Redblu is one of 12 stand builders at Tier 5, and the only one of them headquartered in Scotland. A hire stand goes back into our stock after the show, consumables are recycled, and the fabric graphics are light to transport and yours to keep. That removes the build-and-bin cycle of a one-off custom stand.
