Custom stands for trade shows - A visible difference.

What is the difference between system and custom exhibition stands?

System stands like Octanorm, Maxima, offer pre-fabricated panels which are mounted together in a modular way.
System stands have very limited design possibilities as they are plain panels. There are also limitations to build plain walls, since the walls have metal connections, making large graphics a difficult challenge. System booths look two-dimensional.
The colors cannot be customized to the company's corporate colors as the systems are limited to a small range of available colors.

A modular stand, is not a custom stand.

Custom stands allow unlimited design options as they are hand-made from wood, iron, glass, and plexiglass. Custom exhibition stands can project the company's corporate identity through unique design, while transmitting a clear marketing message to the audience. Impressive custom exhibition staqnds can be constructed giving the booth a memorable and eye-catching presentation.
