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
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.
