Stage fronts, exhibition stands and event branding

Stages and backdrops

People see a festival stage from far away, so it needs one big, clear image. For Earthdance Cape Town at Kogel Bay, we printed a huge lotus mandala stage front that frames the stage. We usually print this size in sections. The artwork has to allow for the joins, and the original file has to be large enough to stay sharp. Our large format printing page explains files and materials. Our artwork guidelines cover resolution and bleed.

Exhibition stands

At an expo, people walk past your stand in a few seconds. The Wildfire exhibition stand has tall printed panels and a booth covered in black and gold graphics. It uses the same colours and style as the Wildfire shopfront, so people recognise the brand. Put your name and main message high up, where people can see it over other people’s heads. Put the details at eye level for people who stop.

Counters, trailers and pop-up stands

Brands at events often sell from a counter or a trailer. Our event branding includes a navy Pick n Pay coffee trailer at an event below Table Mountain. We also made a Pick n Pay coffee counter with menu boards for an indoor event. Rise and Grind’s coffee trailer has branded awning panels for an outdoor market. Other jobs include a coffee trailer with printed teardrop flags and an A-frame menu board, and a branded ALDO counter at a retail event. See vehicle and trailer branding and stickers, decals and vinyl.

Flags, banners and wind

Teardrop flags and banners show people where to find you in a field, a market or a car park. In Cape Town, plan for wind. Mesh banners let air through and put less strain on the fixings. Flags need a ground spike on grass or a weighted base on paving. Ask the organiser what is allowed before you choose. Our banners, flags and displays page covers the options. You can also ask for a quote with your event date.
