Exhibiting in Paris: the printing checklist

Published 11 June 2026 · Welye advice

A successful show, printing-wise, is a matter of calendar. Here is the checklist we share with our exhibiting clients — paste it into your countdown plan.

D-30 · Scope

• ✓List your products: roll-ups, backdrop, counter, flyers, cards — our signage guide helps build the kit.
• ✓Request the quote with the show opening date: the whole schedule is planned backwards from it.
• ✓Check the venue's exhibitor rules (dimensions, height limits).

D-15 · Produce the files

• ✓High-resolution PDF, bleed, CMYK — details here, free file check.
• ✓Have a fresh pair of eyes proofread everything (booth number, URL, typos).
• ✓Approve the proof quickly: every day a proof waits delays production.

D-7 · Production & delivery logistics

• ✓Production under way — express still possible: roll-ups, posters, flyers.
• ✓Give the exact address: hall, booth number, on-site contact — we deliver to Porte de Versailles, Villepinte, Le Bourget, Eurexpo…
• ✓Hotel or agency delivery if you land before your graphics do.

D-2 · Check

• ✓Count and open every parcel received: an issue? We reprint on express.
• ✓Prepare the rescue kit: gaffer tape, cutter, microfibre cloth.
• ✓Save your printer's number: +33 1 80 91 64 61.

Show day · Build

• ✓Set up the backdrop first, roll-ups next, the counter last.
• ✓Keep the carry bags: teardown will go twice as fast.
• ✓A missing or damaged item? Call early in the morning: depending on the product, a same-day express solution may exist.
