When should I request a stand design and build proposal?

The earlier you start planning your stand design for SALTEX, the better the outcome. Ideally, we recommend beginning the process as early as possible to allow time for design development, revisions, and logistics.

That said, we understand that timelines can be tight. As a guideline, we ask for at least one month’s notice before the event. Thanks to our close proximity to the NEC and extensive experience delivering stand design at the NEC, we can often work to shorter deadlines than many competitors.

Project timelines will always depend on the size and complexity of your stand, so the sooner we can discuss your requirements, the more we can achieve.

How much does a SALTEX exhibition stand cost?

This is one of the most common questions we’re asked—and the answer depends entirely on your vision, objectives, and space.

A helpful way to think about it is like building a house. The cost will vary depending on size, layout, materials, features, and overall design. A compact, functional space will differ significantly from a large, fully bespoke exhibition stand with premium finishes and integrated features.

The same applies to stand design for SALTEX. To provide an accurate quote, we need to understand:

Your stand size and layout
Your goals for exhibiting
The level of design and build required
Any specific features (storage, meeting areas, AV, etc.)

Our exhibition stands typically range from £2,000 to £70,000+, depending on the scope of the project. That’s why we often start by discussing your budget—so we can design a stand that delivers the best possible return on investment, whether through lead generation, brand exposure, or direct sales.

If you’re looking for an exhibition stand builder at the NEC, we ensure every project is delivered efficiently, professionally, and aligned with your objectives.
