Business Services
Exhibitions, trade shows and expos are a great way to find new clients, launch new products and try out new things. They’re an investment. But, take the time to plan your show, and you could reap big rewards.
If you want to learn more, please visit our website.
Sometimes it’s not just what you say, it’s how you look when you’re saying it. Our Exhibit range gives you the tools to emphasize your message. For the first time, create enormous eye-catching displays without the eye-watering price tag.
Seeing is believing. Drop by your neighbourhood Nettl studio to goggle at the samples and talk through the best options for your business.
Our fabric booths are dual purpose. They make cosy office meeting areas and double-up as backdrops for exhibitions.
Inside each booth is an aluminum skeleton. It clips together in under ten minutes. Then the enormous fabric cover slides over the top over and zips up underneath. The whole thing collapses into a carry bag which fits easily in a car trunk.
Let your imagination go wild. They look best when you treat the outside as the external view and then something different inside. Think castle wall, spaceship or bunker on the outside. Then make the interior feel like you’ve stepped into a cosy space. There’s serious purpose to this frivolity. It encourages creative thinking and sparks imagination.
Let’s do a little experiment. On your way home tonight, count the number of flags you see. They’re absolutely everywhere.
Why’s that? Well for a couple of hundred dollars, you get a huge, fluttering, piece of eye catching marketing for your business. They are such great value, it’s no wonder businesses are lining them up on their forecourt, outside their front door and on every corner of their exhibition stands.
All our flags are suitable for use indoors and outdoors. They’re double-hemmed for durability, with a strong pole pocket which is designed to be used multiple times.
Printed Gazebos are all the rage at farmer’s markets, festivals and fairs. The Gazebo frame is compact for storage, then pops up and locks into place.
You’ve got a choice of a plain black canopy, your name or logo printed on the front fascia or your branding fully printed on all sides and the top too. Each canopy is made of a water resistant material that’ll keep you and your stock dry if it rains.
Clip on the number of sides you want. A full height wall hangs from the top, or you can choose half height walls, which come with a rail. Why not print a half height wall for the front too, to act as a cool branded counter?
Remember you can buy all the printed parts separately, so you can change your messages for each season or each event, and keep using the same frame. Neat!
At a busy exhibition, you have just a few seconds to grab your customer’s attention. Our fully customisable displays give you the opportunity to use your design to make an impact. With a wide range of accessories, including lights, literature racks and tablecloths, you can create an engaging backdrop that will grab your customer's attention and increase your brand’s visibility.
Filling out your exhibition spade can be challenging, but using an L shaped exhibition stand you get two full display walls which doubles your coverage giving you maximum floor space to help you fill the floor and attract more foot traffic. They are available in a variety of sizes from the more compact 2m x 2m stands all the way up to the larger 5m x 6m stands. We offer flexibility to suit any exhibition space.
With its semi-enclosed layout, the two wall exhibition stand creates a defined space for focussed customer interaction. Unlike a single wall pop up stand or a promotional counter, the two walls provide a welcoming and private space where you can take potential clients away from the bustling exhibition floor to have a more in depth conversation and prevent a lost lead.
All our displays feature durable, high-quality graphics that are both scratch and crease-resistant, ensuring they maintain an eye-catching design every time they are displayed. By choosing our displays, which are designed for repeated use, you can minimise the cost of your promotional material for each event that you visit and maximise your return on investment. You can read more on how to maximise ROI on exhibition stands from our managing director.
Concerned about hauling your stand around to every event? Our entire indoor display range is portable and easy to assemble. The L shaped exhibition stand comes in a wheeled transit case to simplify transport to and from your events. The case can even be converted into a counter, meaning you get a display counter and a pop up stand, saving you space and reducing your costs.
Once you have placed an order for a printed product, we will need you to provide us with your artwork so we can start the production. It's important that any artwork you provide is compatible for the product(s) that you have ordered. You can find instructions in the form of downloadable artwork templates on the relevant product pages of our website.
If you can't provide artwork at the correct size or format then please get in touch. We offer a full in-house design service for all products and we can provide an individual quote based on your needs and requirements. Just us with your requirements by contacting our team directly at [ protected] or feel free to use our online chat facility for a quick consultation.
You can provide your artwork to us in one of several ways
Once we receive your artwork file(s), one of our team will manually check to ensure that the size and proportions are correct for the product(s) that you have ordered. Once this is done, we will send you a proof via .
If we discover an issue with your artwork, we will let you know so you can fix the issue and re-supply the file(s).
We make basic checks to artwork to confirm the sizing and proportions are ok but we can't make detailed checks for spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and resolutions/quality of images that are used within a piece of supplied artwork. That being said, if you have any partcular concerns about your artwork and need an opinion on something in particular, please just get on touch and we will be happy to help.
We use a range of courier companies to deliver our exhibition stands and other products. Most couriers will require a signature on the delivery of your order to confirm the date and time of the delivery (and that the goods are received in good condition).
Normally we will the tracking information for your order on the evening of the day of dispatch so that you can know to expect the delivery. If you want to check the progress of the delivery then you can enter the tracking information online for an update or call the number provided.
If no-one is available to sign for your delivery then the courier will normally leave a card to say that a delivery was attempted and would then take the parcel away. The delivery is normally re-attempted the next working day.
Goto Norder to know more.
Depending on the courier, the delivery could be re-attempted two or three times before the parcel would eventually be returned to us. If the courier attempts delivery on multiple occasions with no success resulting in the parcel being returned then we can re-dispatch the parcel again for you but would bill the carriage cost again.
Sometimes we are asked if the courier can in advance of the delivery being made. Unfortunately this is not possible because the couriers are not generally provided with mobile telephones. All instructions tend to be relayed to the courier by the depot via a hand held computer terminal that the driver carries.
If you need to receive a delivery on a particular day but are not going to be around to sign for the parcel then the best advice we can give is to write a note explaining that you are expecting a delivery but are not around to receive it. You can request the courier leaves the parcel with no signature or with a neighbor. We would advise that you write the consignment note of the parcel on the letter and sign it.
Ultimately it is down to the drivers discretion whether to leave the parcel and so we cannot accept responsibility for late deliveries if there is no one available to accept the order when the delivery is made.
If you place an order via our website, you can select from one of a number of delivery options (economy, standard and express). The estimated delivery date for arrival of your order will be shown next to each option and the associated cost. Please note that delivery dates are based on the estimated transit time for the goods and we cannot offer refunds for bespoke printed products if they arrive later than expected due to a courier delay outside of our control. If you have a 'no fail' delivery date, please get in touch to discuss your requirements prior to ordering. We can usually arrange for special delivery services like a dedicated van (at an additional cost) if you would rather not rely on a conventional courier delivery.
The Pantone colour scale is an industry standard series of reference colours for use in the printing industry.
Pantone or spot colours are normally used by lithographic or screen printers when printing items with a limited number of colours (for example a letterhead, or stationary). Pantone ink is purchased by the printer who then creates a screen or plate specifically for that colour ink.
We use a CMYK (full colour) process of printing rather than a spot colour method. With a CMYK print process, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black are mixed by layering ink on top of each other to create a full-colour image. Sometimes other colours like light cyan and light magenta are also used to improve print quality.
We cannot guarantee to match all Pantone colours because some Pantone’s contain pigments that push the colour outside of the spectrum of colours available with CMYK inks.
An example would be Pantone 021 orange which is a very bright, almost neon colour. It is impossible to get a close match to this colour with CMYK printing because the colour is too bright.
There are many other colours in the Pantone spectrum that are relatively easy to match but also some that are impossible to closely match. Pantone sell a solid to process guide book which is useful because the Pantone colour is shows next to the nearest CMYK colour as two separate colour chips. If you can access a Pantone solid to process guide book then you can see at a glance how closely your pantone colour can be matched with a CMYK printing process.
All artwork supplied should be set as CMYK colour mode, not Pantone spot colour. If you do not have a Pantone solid to process guide book and need some advice as to the best CMYK colour value to use in the artwork, please call and we can help.
If you have very precise colour matching requirements for your artwork then we recommend purchasing a reduced-scale hard copy proof prior to printing the finished article. The cost is £20 and includes delivery of the proof to a mainland UK address.
As a rule of thumb, we recommend that artwork resolution should be 150dpi or greater at full scale for a large format print (anything A2 or larger).
If you are designing your artwork at a reduced scale (say half or quarter size) then the resolution of the artwork needs to be increased proportionally so that when the file is blown-up for printing, the quality is high enough to allow for it.
So, if setting your artwork at half size then double the resolution to 300dpi or if setting the artwork at quarter size then quadruple the resolution to 600dpi!
When printing images at very large sizes, it is not uncommon that the original file be unavailable at a large enough size to provide 150dpi output and this does not mean that you cannot use the image! In fact much smaller images can sometimes be OK for print.
Bear in mind factors that determine if the image is acceptable:-
Most displays have a viewing distance of at least a couple of Metres and so a large background image need not contain pin-sharp detail. If the image is abstract or does not contain precise detail then you can ‘get away’ with using a smaller image.
If your image is small then you can up-sample it in an application like Photoshop which increases the image size by splitting the pixels (interpolating) into more pixels. A byproduct of this process is the image can become ‘softer’ and it is therefore a good idea to zoom-in on the picture at approximately finished size on screen and then stand back from the display to gain an impression of what the printed result would be like.
If you have concerns about image quality then let us know about it when you submit your artwork and one of our team can take a look for you.
We support most ‘industry-standard’ artwork file types. Examples of supported formats include:-
We also accept generic artwork formats including:-
When supplying artwork from the original design package (for example an Adobe Indesign file), it is important to send over all linked images and fonts as well as the Adobe Indesign document itself.
If you are exporting artwork from a design package into a generic format such as PDF then there is generally no need to supply artwork components such as images and fonts separately unless you need us to re-open and edit the file for you.
Most people would typically supply us with the exported generic file rather than the original artwork file and links.
