When it comes to preparing for a trade show, exhibition or conference, display stands and flyers tend to top the list, while Pens, Notebooks and Tote Bags remain staples. But there\u2019s a wider set of printed items that can help businesses make the most of their time at events. From branded Tablecloths and Light Boxes to Lanyards, Clothing and Branded Promotional Products, the right choices can improve visibility, support customer conversations and leave a stronger impression after the event. <\/span><\/p>\n

So let’s explore some of the unsung heroes of event, conference and exhibition print that can lift your stand, creating an eye-catching and memorable presence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Printed Tablecloths<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the simplest ways to bring cohesion, polish and branding to your exhibition stand is with <\/span>Printed Tablecloths<\/a>. Whether you opt for a Stretch or Non-Stretch Tablecloth, both options help transform basic furniture into a coordinated, professional-looking display.<\/p>\n

Solopress Tablecloths are printed in full colour onto durable polyester, making them ideal for repeated use at trade shows, exhibitions and conferences. The material is crease-resistant and easy to care for, which means you\u2019ll spend less time steaming or pressing between events.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fit for purpose<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Non-Stretch Tablecloths offer a versatile fit, with a drop that hangs evenly around the sides \u2014 ideal for standard trestle tables and larger setups. Stretch Tablecloths provide a tighter, more fitted appearance with stitched corners that hug the shape of the table. This creates a sleek, secure finish that stays in place throughout the day, even in high-traffic areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whichever option you choose, branded Tablecloths give your setup a more finished and intentional feel \u2014 especially when paired with other key pieces of exhibition print, such as Light Boxes, Lanyards or printed literature. A well-sized Tablecloth can also help you manage cables, signage, giveaway stock and other clutter by keeping it neatly out of sight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Table your design<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Design-wise, you have the freedom to go bold or stay subtle. Our dye sublimation process allows for full-colour printing across the entire surface. You can feature your logo prominently, add brand colours or include messaging \u2014 all while creating a space that feels aligned with the rest of your display materials.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re preparing for an event, you\u2019ll find more detail on Stretch and Non-Stretch Tablecloth specifications at<\/span> our tablecloths page<\/span><\/a>, along with artwork templates to help you set up your design.<\/span><\/p>\n

Light Boxes<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lighting can make or break an exhibition stand. Whether you\u2019re working with a shell scheme or a custom build, Light Boxes offer a simple way to boost visibility, define your space and make your message more legible \u2014 even in low light or crowded environments.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are several types of<\/span> Light Box displays<\/span><\/a> to choose from, each suited to different stand sizes, layouts and budgets. Freestanding models are popular for backdrops and side panels, while Light Box Counters give you an illuminated surface for greeting visitors, storing giveaways or displaying merchandise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joined-up thinking<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Modular systems like the Premium Light Box Displays<\/a> can be joined together to form seamless walls \u2014 including corners \u2014 making them useful for larger exhibition spaces. These are available in multiple sizes, up to 3m wide and over 2m tall. At the other end of the scale, compact and Economy Light Boxes offer a more affordable way to bring your branding to life, and are often used in place of standard roller banners.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assembly is designed to be straightforward. Most systems come with a padded carry case for protection and transport, and tool-free installation means your stand team can set up without the need for specialist equipment. Printed panels slide into the frame using silicone edging, so you can refresh graphics easily for different shows or campaigns. If you already have a Light Box frame, Solopress offers replacement graphics and backlit posters to fit a range of systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Illuminate your presence<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

For signage, LED Light Box Frames provide a low-profile way to light up posters at A4, A3, A2 and A1 sizes. These are often used for pricing, product specs or directional signage at events, but also have applications in retail, leisure and hospitality settings.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re weighing up how to make better use of your floor space, Light Boxes are worth considering \u2014 not just for the visual impact, but for how they can help guide attention and improve the visitor experience across your stand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seating<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Incorporating branded seating into your exhibition stand can enhance visitor comfort and reinforce your brand presence.<\/span> Solopress offers a variety of seating options, including Deck Chairs<\/a>, Director’s Chairs<\/a>, and Cube Seats<\/a>, each tailored to different event needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deck Chairs<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ideal for creating a relaxed, inviting atmosphere, Deck Chairs<\/a> are perfect for outdoor events or casual seating areas within your stand.<\/span> Available in Wooden<\/a>, Wooden with Armrests<\/a>, and Aluminium<\/a> models, these chairs are lightweight, foldable, and easy to transport.<\/span> The durable polyester fabric is custom printed in full-colour right across the seat area, offering a large print area for maximum visibility.<\/span> With three secure backrest settings and a weight capacity of approximately 110 kg, they combine comfort with brilliant branding.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

Director’s Chairs<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For a more structured seating arrangement, Director’s Chairs<\/a> provide a professional appearance.<\/span> Crafted from sustainable eucalyptus wood, they feature dye-printed, washable canvases that can be customised with your logo or design.<\/span> These chairs are suitable for both indoor and outdoor events, offering a sturdy and stylish seating solution.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

Cube Seats<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cube Seats<\/a> add a casual, modular element to your stand.<\/span> Printed on all six sides at no extra cost, they serve as both seating and display surfaces for products or literature.<\/span> Measuring 400 x 400 x 400 mm and supplied ready to use, these seats are a versatile addition to any exhibition space.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

While not a necessity for every stand, seating can improve the usability and atmosphere of your space \u2014 especially at longer events where attendee fatigue can affect engagement. By thoughtfully selecting seating options that align with your brand and event environment, you can create a welcoming space that encourages visitors to engage with your team and explore your offerings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Lanyards and branded clothing<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Incorporating branded items like<\/span> Lanyards<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> Clothing<\/span><\/a> into your exhibition strategy can enhance brand visibility and create a cohesive, professional appearance for your team.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

Lanyards<\/b><\/h3>\n

Lanyards serve both functional and promotional purposes at events. They provide a convenient way to display identification badges, access passes, or business cards, ensuring that your team members are easily identifiable. Customising Lanyards with your company\u2019s logo and colours reinforces brand identity and fosters a unified team presence.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

When selecting Lanyards, consider factors such as material, width, and printing options.<\/span> Fabric Lanyards<\/span><\/a> offer durability and comfort, with full-colour sublimation printing that accurately reproduces intricate designs. Widths typically range from 10mm to 25mm, allowing you to choose a size that aligns with your branding and visibility needs. Additionally, incorporating safety features like a breakaway clasp can enhance user safety by releasing under pressure.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

To complement your Lanyards, consider using<\/span> ID Card Holders<\/span><\/a>. These holders protect identification cards from wear and tear and are available in both portrait and landscape orientations to suit various card designs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Branded clothing<\/b><\/h3>\n

Outfitting your team in branded apparel can significantly impact how your company is perceived at exhibitions. Consistent attire not only promotes brand recognition but also conveys professionalism and unity among team members.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

When choosing branded clothing, consider the nature of the event and the desired impression. Options range from<\/span> T-Shirts<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> Hoodies<\/span><\/a> to<\/span> Sweatshirts<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> Fleeces<\/span><\/a>. Each garment offers different benefits:\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n
