Today in pre-build, we have Montagne Custom Packaging, and its founder, the lovely Anne Marie Shulman who travelled all the way from Atlanta, Georgia to learn how to build her stand!
About Montagne Custom Packaging
Montagne offers gorgeous bespoke packaging solutions to prestigious brands around the world. Founded in 2016 by Anne Marie, the company creates high-end branded programs that elevate and complete the customer experience while reflecting the quality and branding of the products.
The packaging solutions are versatile and cater to a broad range of products such as perfumes, jewellery, wines, and cosmetics. Montagne provides totes, ribbons, tissues, jewellery displays, trays, boxes, and even sustainable packaging options, among other solutions!

A Purchase and A Free-Hire Stand
Maggie acknowledges in the video that Montagne has a unique exhibiting solution – both a Purchase and a Free-Hire stand.
Quadrant2Design offers two methods of exhibiting. The first is where the client purchases the stand to build themselves. We offer training, an extensive training video library and comprehensive resources to help clients learn to build the stands!
The second option, the Free-Hire Plan, allows clients to invest in their graphic panels, and hire the stand structure from Quadrant2Design for free. This plan includes the full in-house service, extending to Project Management, logistics handling, installation and dismantling.
Why?
The packaging show season in Europe is compact with shows in Vincenza, Italy and London Packaging Week overlapping while Luxe Pack Monaco comes just a few weeks later.
Montagne opted for both a Purchase and a Free-Hire Stand so they could maximise the opportunities in Europe this year. They now have plans to take one of the stands back to the US. Once back on home-soil Anne-Marie has the choice of project managing US exhibitions herself or leaving it to Quadrant2Design to organise.
Was The Stand Difficult To Build
I feel good about it. I think it's going to be very easy, very simple for the most part.
In the video, Anne Marie speaks about the stand being quite simple once you get to grips with it! You just have to take time to get the panels lined up nicely, and of course the more you build, the easier this becomes.
Impressions on The Stand
I love it. I think it's perfect!
Anne Marie loved her stands, and felt really pleased with the final result!
In the video, she explains that the brilliant lighting capabilities of the Prestige Events System were one of the main reasons she chose Quadrant2Design.

The lighting offered to us by the show organisers with their builds is not nearly as well done as this.
For us that was just a huge thing. That's something that most of your competitors cannot do, and we have been very thrilled with to have in our programs.
The Prestige Events System can accommodate lighting within the showcases to present products in the best possible way! This is particularly crucial for Montagne, as the packaging needs to be adaptable to a variety of brand colours, and it’s essential to be able to showcase this.

Updating Graphics
Anne Marie was also pleased that with new graphic panels, she can continue to keep her branding fresh!
Our graphics are high-quality and almost always outlast their messaging. However, they can always be updated. As Anne Marie explains, if she decides to change her colours, she can buy new graphic panels to refresh or completely change the look of her stand.

Closing Thoughts
I think that your team has been wonderful to work with. We've been so thrilled with every interaction that we've had with you!
The Montagne team loved their display and we’re delighted to have had them in pre-build!
Montagne has a busy and exciting exhibition calendar to come. We can’t wait to see the gorgeous blue stand throughout Europe and the US.
