Question 1

What is shell scheme graphics?

Accepted Answer

Printed panels or fabric that dress the plain white walls a contractor provides as part of a shell scheme booking — turning a bare bay into a branded stand.

Question 2

What's the difference between the four options?

Accepted Answer

Rollable panel is the cheapest self-fit option, in two finishes (SoFlat or the more robust Pop-Up material), with a visible aluminium post between each panel. Rigid board gives the sharpest single-event print quality but isn't reusable, and also sits between visible posts. Seamless fabric is the big step up in finish — no visible joins or posts across the whole wall — and comes two ways: fully installed by our crew on hired frame (currently SEC Glasgow and NEC Birmingham only), or supplied as a kit — frame, bags and graphics — for you to fit yourself anywhere in the UK.

Question 3

Which option is cheapest?

Accepted Answer

Rollable panel in SoFlat, from £32 per square metre. Rigid board and Pop-Up material both sit at £60 per square metre. The two seamless fabric options are priced by linear metre of wall rather than area — £300 per linear metre installed, £330 per linear metre as a self-fit kit. All prices exclude VAT.

Question 4

Can I reuse the graphics for multiple shows?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with rollable panels or either seamless fabric option — all are designed to come down, store, and go back up at the next show. Rigid board is cut to fit a single event and isn't intended for reuse.

Question 5

Where is the fully installed seamless fabric service available?

Accepted Answer

Currently SEC Glasgow and NEC Birmingham — Redblu produces the graphics, installs and dismantles the stand directly, so it is limited to venues that can be properly supported. More venues will be added over time. Outside those two, the Seamless Fabric Kit option covers the whole UK since no install visit is required.

Question 6

What size is a standard shell scheme panel?

Accepted Answer

Redblu's standard shell scheme panel has a visible graphic area of 950mm wide by 2340mm tall, on a 40mm aluminium upright post, with an overall frame height of around 2500mm. Redblu confirms the exact size against the venue's exhibitor manual before printing.

Question 7

Do you supply artwork templates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once a quote is requested, Redblu sends sized artwork templates for the exact panel or wall dimensions so the design lines up correctly.
