Shell Scheme Transformations – Everything You Need to Know!

If you’re looking to create a stronger impact within your shell scheme, then you’re in the right place. Here at Quadrant2Design, we specialise in high-impact shell scheme transformations!

Shell scheme spaces offer one of the most accessible routes into exhibiting. The spaces, which consist of an aluminium partition system that can be dressed with graphic panels, are found in nearly all exhibition halls across the UK.

While the spaces may be commonplace in exhibition halls, shell schemes are not renowned for their impact. With no differentiating structure, variable heights, or sizes, it is difficult to create a point of difference. Well… we should say… it was difficult.

With shell scheme transformations, there is far more design freedom. Let’s get into the details.

Shell scheme transformations enable businesses to have a custom-designed stand within a shell scheme space.

They involve removing the overhead fascia board before inlaying a custom-designed stand to conceal the existing structure.

With the inlayed stands, visitors can add height, integrate products, and incorporate striking lighting features, standing out amongst the neighbours in shell scheme.

Shell scheme transformations are a great option for businesses looking to enhance their presence within a shell scheme space. Some of the key benefits include:

The overhead fascias found on most shell scheme spaces limit the ability to build above 2.5m. Due to this limitation, it can be very challenging to stand out or differentiate yourself from adjacent stands.

Shell scheme transformations eliminate this issue, allowing businesses to build far above the standard line of shell schemes.

While businesses can display graphics in shell scheme, the media is disrupted by an aluminium framework, which detracts from the overall graphic impact.

Our shell scheme transformations make branding the star of the show, with seamless panoramic graphics that extend all the way to the photo-floor!

A key benefit of shell scheme transformations is that they enable businesses to integrate showcases and mount products and screens directly onto the stand.

On standard shell schemes, this isn’t possible, so many businesses resort to freestanding displays or plinths. However, this can look messy and incohesive.

Integrating products into the stand saves valuable floor space and creates a sleeker, more professional look.

With traditional shell schemes, spaces are equal in size and shape. With this uniformity, it’s very difficult to differentiate your business from others around you.

One of the primary benefits of shell scheme transformations is that they enable businesses to add variation and interest to the structure. Bringing products aisle-side, creating meeting areas, and even incorporating demo spaces, with mounted screens.

While the abilities are sometimes limited by the size of space booked, there is far more freedom than with a traditional shell scheme.

Shell scheme transformations also allow you to get creative with lighting. Make a point of difference, create a statement panel or put products in focus – the options are endless.

To attract guests in busy exhibition halls where all of your competitors are vying for attention, you must create a point of difference. Adding movement is the perfect way to do this!

In our shell scheme transformations, we often incorporate rotating headers, animated branding and revolving product display shelves to introduce movement to the stand.

We offer different shell scheme transformations to suit varying requirements, show rules, and stand shapes and sizes.

A full transformation, including removal of the overhead fascia!

In some cases, organisers will not permit the removal of the overhead fascia. In these cases, we can build within the shell.

While shell scheme transformations undoubtedly add value to businesses, the stand has a minimum footprint depth of 30cm, meaning not every space is suitable for a full transformation.

In very small spaces, we tend to recommend our shell smart transformations, which combine bespoke structure with traditional shell scheme panels to maximise impact and space.

We offer variations of our shell smart solution for pipe & drape spaces, as well as shell scheme.

Shell scheme transformations are one of the most effective ways of maximising your return on investment within a shell scheme space. They enable you to create a display that genuinely reflects the quality and personality of your brand, while standing out from nearby competitors.
