Frequently Asked Questions - Exhibition Printing Services & Stands

General Questions
Q: How much do printed exhibition stands cost?
A: Pricing varies by product type and size. Roller banners start from £45, FLEXi fabric banner stands from £295, curved fabric displays from £495, and complete exhibition packages from £650. Visit our online catalog for specific pricing or call 0113 205 5180 for custom package quotes.
Q: What's your delivery time for exhibition stands?
A: Standard delivery is 5-7 working days for most exhibition stands, 3-5 working days for roller banners and replacement graphics. Express 48-72 hour service available on selected products. All orders include free UK mainland delivery over £100.
Q: Can I order online or do I need to call?
A: You can order 24/7 through our online system at www.northernflags.com. However, our exhibition specialists are available on 0113 205 5180 if you prefer to discuss requirements or need advice on product selection.
Q: Do you offer design services?
A: Yes, our in-house design team can create professional exhibition graphics from £75, or free design tweaks on orders over £500. Alternatively, use our online design tool for simple layouts on roller banners and straightforward graphics.
Q: What file formats do you accept for printing?
A: We accept PDF (preferred), Adobe Illustrator (AI), Adobe Photoshop (PSD), and high-resolution JPEG or TIFF files. Files should be CMYK color mode at minimum 150 dpi (200-300 dpi preferred) with 50mm bleed on all sides.
Product-Specific Questions
Q: What's the difference between FLEXi displays and pop-up stands?
A: Both use fabric graphics on aluminum frames. FLEXi displays have visible 32mm frames with fabric sleeves that slide over, making graphics easily changeable. Pop-up stands have concealed frames where fabric attaches magnetically for a completely seamless appearance. FLEXi systems offer more versatility and easier graphic changes; pop-ups provide premium seamless aesthetics.
Q: Can I update graphics on my exhibition stand for different events?
A: Yes! All our FLEXi fabric systems, pop-up stands, and roller banners are designed for graphic replacement. Order replacement graphics at any time to refresh messaging while reusing the frame hardware. This makes our systems highly cost-effective for businesses attending multiple exhibitions.
Q: Are your fabrics machine washable?
A: Yes, all dye-sublimated fabric graphics are machine washable on gentle cycles. This extends the lifespan of your graphics and keeps displays looking fresh for repeated use. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Q: What's the difference between Standard and Premium roller banners?
A: Standard roller banners use economical cassettes suitable for occasional use. Premium roller banners feature heavy-duty bases, enhanced cassette mechanisms, and superior stability for intensive use at multiple exhibitions. Both include quality printing, but Premium offers enhanced durability.
Q: Do your event tents comply with fire safety regulations?
A: Yes, our event tents comply with safety standards for exhibition use. We can supply fire-retardant fabrics certified to BS5867/BS5852 specifications when required by venues. Specify fire-retardant requirements when ordering.
Printing & Technical Specification
Q: What printing method do you use for exhibition graphics?
A: We use multiple printing technologies depending on material: dye-sublimation for fabrics (up to 5m wide), UV printing for rigid substrates, latex printing for eco-friendly applications, screen printing for high volumes, and UV gel for premium finishes. Dye-sublimation is our primary method for exhibition fabric graphics.
Q: Will my brand colors match exactly?
A: We use color-managed workflows for consistent reproduction. CMYK printing can achieve most brand colors accurately. For critical Pantone matching, consult our team as some colors have limitations depending on material and print method. Always request a proof if exact color matching is critical.
Q: Can you print up to 5 meters wide seamlessly?
A: Yes, our dye-sublimation printers handle fabrics up to 5m wide with no seams. This is available through both Northern Flags (for standard products) and FaberExposize UK (for custom large-scale graphics). For displays wider than 5m, we use nearly invisible seams with perfect alignment.
Q: Are your inks eco-friendly?
A: Dye-sublimation inks have minimal environmental impact and are water-based. Our latex printing uses eco-friendly, odorless inks. We offer Jet Display fabric which is 100% recyclable, and many of our display systems are designed for reuse rather than disposal.
Q: What resolution should my images be?
A: Minimum 150 dpi at final print size, but 200-300 dpi preferred for best results. Exhibition graphics viewed from 2-5 meters can use lower resolution than close-viewing materials. Download our artwork guides for specific recommendations per product.
Ordering & Delivery
Q: Do you offer express printing for urgent exhibitions?
A: Yes, express 48-72 hour service is available on selected products including roller banners, replacement graphics, and some FLEXi displays. Contact us before 12pm for same-day order processing on express items. Additional charges apply for express production.
Q: Is UK delivery really free?
A: Yes, we include free UK mainland delivery on orders over £100 via standard tracked courier. Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland, and offshore locations may have extended delivery times. Express delivery and international shipping are charged separately.
Q: Can you deliver directly to my exhibition venue?
A: Yes, we can deliver to your exhibition venue address. Ensure you provide specific delivery instructions including hall numbers, stand numbers, and contact details. Note that many venues have restricted delivery windows, so plan accordingly and inform us of any venue delivery requirements.
Q: What if my exhibition stand arrives damaged?
A: All products are carefully packaged for safe transit. Inspect your order upon arrival and report any damage within 48 hours. We'll arrange replacement or repair promptly. Retain all packaging for courier inspection if damage occurred during shipping.
Q: Do you ship internationally?
A: Yes, we ship exhibition products internationally. Contact us for shipping quotes to your destination. For European exhibitions, our sister company FaberExposize UK has facilities in the Netherlands and Germany which may offer more efficient delivery.
Setup / Installation
Q: How difficult is it to assemble exhibition stands?
A: Most products are designed for tool-free assembly. Roller banners take 1-2 minutes, FLEXi displays 10-15 minutes, event tents 15-20 minutes with two people. All products include illustrated instructions, and video tutorials are available online. First-time setup takes longer but subsequent assemblies are much faster.
Q: Do I need tools to set up exhibition stands?
A: No, all our exhibition display products feature tool-free assembly using click-together frames, twist-out feet, or simple push-fit connections. You may need a stepladder for tall displays, but no tools are required.
Q: How many people needed to set up a FLEXi display wall?
A: One person can assemble most FLEXi displays, though two people make setup faster and easier, especially for larger curved displays or systems over 4 meters wide. Event tents definitely require two people for safe setup.
Q: Can exhibition stands be used outdoors?
A: Some products are suitable for outdoor use (event tents, feather flags, pop-out banners, PVC counters). Fabric displays like FLEXi systems and roller banners are designed for indoor exhibitions. For outdoor events, choose products specifically rated for outdoor use and consider wind conditions.
Q: How do I transport exhibition stands to venues?
A: All products include padded carry bags or protective packaging. Most displays fit in car boots or back seats. Larger items may require estate cars or vans. Carry bags have handles and some include wheels for easy transport. Approximate bag dimensions are listed on product pages.
Trade Accounts
Q: Do you offer trade accounts for regular exhibition orders?
A: Yes, we offer trade accounts with account management services for businesses with regular exhibition requirements. Contact sales@northernflags.com to discuss account terms, volume discounts, and credit facilities.
Q: I'm an exhibition stand builder - should I order from Northern Flags or FaberExposize?
A: As an exhibition stand builder requiring trade printing services, dedicated account management, or custom manufacturing, contact FaberExposize UK directly through us. FaberExposize specializes in B2B partnerships with stand builders and creative agencies, offering 24/7 production, bespoke solutions, and professional trade services.
Q: Can I see samples before ordering?
A: Yes, we can provide fabric samples and material swatches. For complete product demonstrations, visit our Leeds showroom by appointment. Call 0113 205 5180 to arrange a viewing of our exhibition products.
Q: Do you price match competitors?
A: We aim to offer the best value in the UK as a direct manufacturer. If you find a genuine like-for-like product at a lower price, contact us before ordering - we'll review competitive quotes and aim to match or beat them where possible.
Q: Can you create bespoke exhibition stands not shown in your catalog?
A: Yes, we manufacture bespoke exhibition solutions. Our standard catalog covers popular products, but we can create custom displays, unique sizes, and specialized exhibition requirements. Contact our team to discuss your specific needs and receive a quotation.
