Frequently Asked Questions
1. What types of exhibition stands are available in Perth?
Exhibition stands in Perth include modular, custom-built, portable, and interactive displays. Modular stands are reusable and cost-effective, while custom-built stands allow unique designs that reflect your brand. Portable and interactive stands use lighting and digital features to engage visitors, helping attract attention and create a memorable presence at events.
2. How much does an exhibition stand cost in Australia?
The cost of an exhibition stand varies with size, materials, and design. Small modular stands for local trade shows can start from a few hundred dollars, while large custom-built stands with complex designs or interactive elements can reach several thousand. Transport, installation, and additional features may affect the total cost for your event.
3. How long does it take to set up an exhibition stand?
Setup time depends on the type and complexity of the stand. Modular or portable stands can be installed within a few hours, while large custom-built stands may take a full day, especially when adding lighting or digital elements. Planning and early delivery help ensure the exhibition is ready before visitors arrive.
4. What is the difference between indoor and outdoor signage?
Indoor signage is designed for controlled spaces, focusing on aesthetics and clear messaging, while outdoor signage must withstand sunlight, rain, and wind, using durable materials. Placement, size, and visibility are important considerations to make sure the signage is effective and long-lasting in its intended environment.
5. When should I book exhibition, signage, or flooring services in Perth?
It is recommended to book services at least 4–6 weeks before the event, and earlier for large or complex projects. Booking ahead allows enough time for design, production, delivery, and installation. This ensures displays, signage, and flooring are completed professionally, installed on time, and ready to make the best impression on visitors. You can also contact Barrett to schedule your project.
6. Can I customise signage for my brand?
Yes, signage can feature your logo, colours, fonts, and graphics. Custom signage improves brand recognition, attracts attention, and communicates key messages to visitors or customers. Using the right materials and design ensures the signage looks professional, lasts longer, and suits the location, whether indoors or outdoors.
7. What materials are used for exhibition and signage fabrication?
Common materials include timber, acrylic, metal, vinyl, foam board, and composite panels. Outdoor signage usually uses weather-resistant materials such as aluminium or PVC, while indoor displays can be lighter but strong. Choosing the right material ensures the display is durable, visually appealing, and fits the requirements of the space.
8. Can exhibition stands be reused for multiple events?
Yes, modular and portable exhibition stands are designed for multiple uses, saving costs for businesses attending several events. Some custom-built stands can also be modified slightly for reuse. Proper storage, maintenance, and careful handling help keep stands in good condition, making them suitable for future exhibitions.
9. How do I choose the right flooring for an event or exhibition?
Selecting flooring depends on foot traffic, event type, and branding needs. Options include carpet tiles, vinyl, laminate, modular flooring, or branded graphics. Flooring should be durable, safe, and visually appealing. Using professional installation ensures a smooth, stable surface that complements the display and enhances the overall visitor experience.
10. Do I need professional help to install event flooring?
Professional installation ensures flooring is safe, level, and correctly fitted. While some modular options can be installed by staff, large or branded floors benefit from expert setup.
11. What makes an exhibition display engaging?
An engaging display combines clear messaging, bold visuals, lighting, and interactive features. Simple, creative layouts capture attention and guide visitors through your brand story. Digital screens or touchpoints can provide extra information or interactivity. High-quality materials and careful planning ensure the display is professional, memorable, and encourages visitor interaction.
12. How long does custom fabrication take for displays or signage?
Fabrication time varies by project size and complexity. Small displays or signs may take 1–2 weeks, while large custom-built exhibition stands can take 4–6 weeks. Planning ahead allows time for design, material preparation, construction, and finishing, ensuring the display is completed on schedule and meets expectations for quality and appearance.
13. Can digital elements be integrated into an exhibition stand?
Yes, screens, digital signage, QR codes, or interactive kiosks can be added to display products, videos, or information. Digital features attract attention, engage visitors, and allow your brand to communicate more effectively. Careful planning ensures the technology is installed safely and complements the stand design.
14. Are temporary floors safe for high foot traffic?
High-quality temporary flooring is slip-resistant, durable, and suitable for heavy foot traffic. Materials such as vinyl, carpet tiles, or modular panels provide stability and comfort. Professional installation ensures safety, prevents movement or gaps, and keeps the flooring looking neat throughout the event, making it ideal for exhibitions, trade shows, and corporate events.
15. How can I make outdoor signage more visible?
Outdoor signage should use bold colours, clear fonts, and suitable lighting. Durable, weather-resistant materials maintain performance over time. Positioning signs in high-traffic areas or at eye level improves visibility. Reflective finishes, large text, and contrast between background and text also make signage easier to read from a distance.
