What does a shell scheme look like?
Shell scheme expo stands are the entry-level kings of the exhibition world. Lightweight and supremely affordable, shell schemes give you a basic foundation for your first foray into the B2B expo scene.
Affordability
Each shell scheme consists of a basic aluminium frame clad in simple wall panels. The real magic is what you choose to add to this structure, both inside and out. For example, consider premium printed graphics to display on the walls or an interactive screen placed inside.
Because of their affordability, shell schemes are a popular choice at many top South African expo events.
Flexiblity First
Our shell scheme trade show booths are known for their versatility, convenience, and flexibility, making them a top choice for your trade show needs.
Peace of mind
The versatile choice
Shell schemes are one of the most versatile expo stand solutions out there, thanks to their handy aluminum construction. They’re incredibly easy to assemble and disassemble, saving you time and reducing your stress before the show starts.
Need to change the design up a little for your next event? No problem, with a shell scheme you can make basic adjustments on the fly, changing out walls and graphics with ease.
How do shell schemes save you money?
Shell scheme stands are a popular expo stand choice because of how affordable they are. When exhibiting for the first time or exhibiting as a small enterprise, shell schemes allow you to take part without spending higher sums on advanced custom displays.
Since they’re made from lightweight fabric and aluminium, shell schemes also save you money on logistics costs, especially over longer distances.
Elevate your shell scheme with premium graphics
A basic shell scheme can only go so far. Take your space to the next level with added premium graphics, printed to perfection on high-quality vinyl. Use them to display your brand logo, product images, and more.
You can go even further by adding dynamic lighting and custom furniture displays, which will have South African attendees hooked!
Shell scheme stands as a sustainable choice
Taking Care Of The Planet
Our shell scheme stands are known for their versatility, convenience, and flexibility, making them a top choice for your exhibition needs.
Unlike classic custom-built stands, our shell schemes are easy to dismantle and transport to any venue across South Africa, thereby minimising your local environmental footprint.
Additionally, the simple design gives you the flexibility to add or remove elements from your stand as needed, thus reducing material waste and carbon emissions linked to traditional expo stand builds. It’s a win for both your business and the world.
Choose a shell scheme for a lasting impression.
Add a touch of interactivity to your shell scheme expo stand with prize draws, giveaways, games, and competitions. Every bit extra you add simply elevates your display to a whole new level, inspiring more visitors to engage with your brand. The opportunities are endless, so get brainstorming!

What an amazing experience! I worked on a series of programs for a very high profile client. One of the venues was in South Africa. So when a project is being produced halfway around the world, one often worries about the quality of the booth being built. When I arrived at the venue, I was very impressed with the quality of workmanship and attention to detail. The booth was one of the very best booths I have ever seen in my 30+ years in the tradeshow industry. I walked the expo hall to look at other booths they produced, and was impressed with the variety of designs and the quality of the builds. Thank you to the entire booth team!
We recommend Booth Exhibits as a provider for the development of the Mining Indaba 2025 fair. At Tomocorp, we are very satisfied with their support, professionalism, and commitment throughout the event. Their team was efficient and attentive to every detail, ensuring a flawless presentation.
One of the best and most professional teams I have worked with. Patrick and team, thank you for being so supportive and bringing our booth to life.
We had a fantastic experience working with this team for our booth at IFPA in Anaheim. They took on the challenge of creating a sustainable booth using recycled cardboard, something that had never been done before, and executed it flawlessly. The booth perfectly captured our vision and made a strong statement about our commitment to sustainability. Their team was not only innovative but also incredibly supportive throughout the event. After the show, we were able to repurpose the booth at our office, extending its impact. Highly recommended for their creativity, professionalism, and exceptional support!
