1000mm Rectangular Exhibition Counter with Internal Storage and Custom Print
The CT1000RG solves a problem every exhibitor has faced: where do you put the things visitors are not supposed to see? The brochures you have not handed out yet, the laptop bag, the spare phone charger, the half-eaten lunch. This 1000mm rectangular counter hides all of it behind a clean, custom-printed front panel while giving you a full metre of working surface on top. Your stand looks professional. Your team stays organised. Visitors see your brand, not your clutter.
The counter arrives flat-packed and assembles without tools. The aluminium frame clicks together, the reversible MDF countertop drops into place, and the custom-printed PVC wrap attaches around the outside. One person can have it standing and ready in minutes. When the event is over, it packs down just as quickly.
What This Rectangular Counter Gives Your Exhibition Stand
- 1-metre working surface with 100kg load capacity: Enough room for a laptop, a tablet, a stack of brochures and a product sample, all at the same time. The 100kg capacity means this is a proper workspace that handles heavy demo equipment, stacked literature and point-of-sale hardware without flexing.
- Hidden internal shelving: A shelf behind the front panel keeps bags, stock, personal items and spare materials completely out of sight. Your stand looks tidy and intentional from the moment the doors open to the moment they close.
- Custom-printed PVC wrap included: The front and sides of the counter are covered with a full-colour printed wrap featuring your own artwork. Your branding is visible at eye level from every approach direction. The printing is included in the price.
- Reversible wood-effect countertop: One side is woodgrain, the other is black. Flip it to match the look of your stand. Two finishes from one countertop, no extras to buy.
- Tool-free assembly in minutes: The aluminium frame clicks together by hand. No allen keys, no bolts, no instructions manual needed. Your team can set it up at the venue with zero stress.
- Flat-pack portable design with carry bag included: The whole counter packs down flat for transport and storage. At approximately 13kg, one person carries it from the car to the stand. A padded carry bag is included for protection during transit.
- Reusable frame with updatable branding: The aluminium frame and countertop last for years. When your branding changes or you need a different message for a different event, get in touch with our team to arrange a new printed PVC wrap for the same frame. No need to replace the whole counter.
- Backed by a 5-year warranty: Built to withstand the rigours of touring and repeated event use. The 5-year warranty reflects the commercial-grade construction of the aluminium frame and hardware, giving you confidence that this counter will perform across years of exhibitions, not just one season.
- Trusted by blue-chip brands and small businesses alike: Part of our exhibition counter range, developed with nearly 50 years of experience supplying display solutions to UK exhibitors and event teams. From multinational product launches to independent pop-up stands, this counter earns its place.
How Exhibitors and Event Teams Use This Counter
| Trade Shows and Exhibitions | The go-to counter for stand teams who need a branded workspace with hidden storage. Use it as a reception point, demo station or lead-capture desk with everything you need within reach and everything you do not need out of sight. |
| Product Demonstrations | The 1-metre surface gives you room to set up a product, a screen and supporting materials side by side. The internal shelf holds backup stock, packaging and tools ready to go when the demo resets. |
| Registration and Information Desks | Works as a check-in point at conferences, seminars and corporate events. Visitors see a branded front panel. Your team has a laptop, badge printer and supplies organised behind it. |
| Retail Pop-Ups and Brand Activations | Creates a professional point of sale in shopping centres, hotel lobbies and temporary retail spaces. The branded wrap turns the counter into a freestanding billboard for your brand while the surface handles transactions. |
| University Open Days and Recruitment Fairs | Gives admissions teams and employers a branded base to work from. Prospectuses, handouts and giveaways go on the shelf. The countertop stays clear for conversations and sign-ups. |
| Hospitality and Venue Events | Used at hotel check-ins, gala registration desks and venue welcome points. The reversible countertop lets you match the finish to the event styling without ordering a separate unit. |

Every experienced exhibitor knows the real test of a good counter is not how it looks from the front. It is how it works from behind. Can your team find what they need without bending down to rummage through bags on the floor? Is there space for a laptop, a tablet and a stack of brochures without something falling off? Can visitors see your brand clearly, or is the front of your counter covered with sticky notes and stray cables? The 1000mm Rectangular Exhibition Counter answers all of those questions before they become problems on event day.
The internal shelf is the feature that makes the difference. It sits behind the front panel, completely hidden from visitors, and gives your team a dedicated space to store marketing materials, personal items, spare stock and anything else that would clutter the countertop if left out in the open. The surface stays clean. The stand looks professional. Your team can focus on the people in front of them instead of managing the mess behind them.
The countertop itself is reversible MDF with a woodgrain finish on one side and black on the other, and it handles a 100kg load capacity so heavy demo equipment, stacked literature and point-of-sale hardware sit firmly without flexing. Flip it to suit the style of your stand. The front and sides are wrapped in a custom-printed PVC panel featuring your own artwork, printed in full colour and included in the price. The aluminium frame clicks together without tools, and the whole unit packs down flat into the included carry bag for transport. At approximately 13kg, one person can carry it from the car to the stand without help.
This is a counter you buy once and use at every event. The aluminium frame and hardware are backed by a 5-year warranty, built to withstand the rigours of touring and repeated event use season after season. When your branding changes or you need a different message for a different show, contact our team to arrange a new printed wrap for the same frame. The structure and reversible countertop last for years. Only the wrap needs refreshing. That means your cost per event goes down the more you use it, and your stand looks sharp every single time.

Everything You Need to Know About This 1000mm Exhibition Counter
Q: What is an exhibition counter and why do I need one?
A: An exhibition counter is a portable branded workstation designed for trade shows, events and activations. It gives your team a dedicated surface to work from, a front panel to display your branding, and internal storage to keep clutter hidden. Without one, your team ends up working off a folding table with bags on the floor and materials piled up in view. A counter solves that instantly.
Q: Does this counter have storage inside?
A: Yes. There is a shelf inside the counter, hidden behind the front panel. It is accessible from the back by your team but completely invisible to visitors. Use it for brochures, spare stock, bags, devices or anything else you want off the countertop and out of sight.
Q: Is the custom-printed wrap included in the price or charged separately?
A: The printed PVC wrap is included. The price covers the aluminium frame, reversible MDF countertop and a full-colour custom-printed wrap for the front and sides. You supply your artwork and we handle the rest. There are no additional print charges.
Q: What does "reversible countertop" mean?
A: The MDF countertop has two different finishes: woodgrain on one side, black on the other. You choose which side faces up when you assemble the counter. If your stand has a warm, natural look, use the woodgrain side. If your stand is darker or more corporate, flip it to black. Two finishes from one piece, no extras needed.
Q: How quickly can one person set this counter up at an event?
A: A few minutes. The aluminium frame clicks together by hand with no tools. The countertop drops into place and the printed wrap attaches around the outside. One person can do the whole thing without instructions or help, which makes it ideal for teams who arrive at a venue and need to be ready fast.
Q: How heavy is this counter and can I carry it on my own?
A: Approximately 13kg when packed. That is light enough for one person to carry from the car to the stand, take on public transport or check as event freight. A carry bag is included as standard for protection during transit.
Q: Can I get a new wrap for this counter when my branding changes?
A: Yes. The aluminium frame and reversible countertop are built for years of use across many events. When you need fresh branding, a new campaign message or a design for a specific event, get in touch with our team and we will arrange a new printed PVC wrap for the same counter. It is a much more cost-effective approach than replacing the whole unit.
Q: Do I need to have my artwork ready before placing the order?
A: No. Place your order now and prepare the artwork afterwards. We send you a personalised print template with full instructions within 24 hours. Your production lead time does not start until our print team has reviewed and approved your artwork, so you have time to get the design right without any pressure.
Q: What is the best exhibition counter for a trade show stand?
A: It depends on your stand size and how you use the counter. This 1000mm rectangular model is ideal if you need a proper working surface with space for a laptop, product samples and literature side by side. The flat front gives you the largest continuous branded area, and the internal shelf keeps your stand looking tidy throughout the day. For smaller stands, a round or oval counter takes up less floor space. To complete the stand, pair it with a backdrop and a premium roller banner.
Q: Can this counter support a laptop and other equipment on the surface?
A: Yes. The MDF countertop has a 100kg load capacity, so laptops, tablets, POS devices, heavy product samples and stacks of literature sit firmly without flexing. The 1000mm width means you are not balancing items on a narrow ledge. Everything sits comfortably with space to spare.
Q: Does the counter come with a carry bag?
A: Yes. A carry bag is included as standard. The counter packs down flat into the bag for protection during transport between venues, offices and storage.
Q: What warranty does this counter come with?
A: The aluminium frame and hardware are backed by a 5-year warranty. This is a commercial-grade counter built to withstand the rigours of touring and repeated event use across multiple seasons, not a single-show accessory. The warranty reflects the confidence we have in the construction.
Q: Is this exhibition counter suitable for outdoor events?
A: No. This counter is designed for indoor venues only, including exhibition halls, conference centres, hotels and retail spaces. The MDF countertop and PVC wrap are not rated for exposure to rain or outdoor weather conditions.
Q: How far in advance should I order before my event?
A: At least two to three weeks. After you order, we send an artwork template within 24 hours. You prepare your design and return it. Our print team reviews it and production takes 3 to 5 working days from the point they approve the artwork. Ordering early means more time to get the design right and less stress on event day.
Practical Guides for Building a Better Exhibition Stand
A counter gives your team a base to work from. Getting the most out of it depends on how the rest of your stand is set up, how your messaging connects with visitors and how prepared you are before the doors open. These guides cover everything from stand design to visitor engagement.

Q: What does "reversible countertop" mean?
A: The MDF countertop has two different finishes: woodgrain on one side, black on the other. You choose which side faces up when you assemble the counter. If your stand has a warm, natural look, use the woodgrain side. If your stand is darker or more corporate, flip it to black. Two finishes from one piece, no extras needed.
Q: How quickly can one person set this counter up at an event?
A: A few minutes. The aluminium frame clicks together by hand with no tools. The countertop drops into place and the printed wrap attaches around the outside. One person can do the whole thing without instructions or help, which makes it ideal for teams who arrive at a venue and need to be ready fast.
Q: How heavy is this counter and can I carry it on my own?
A: Approximately 13kg when packed. That is light enough for one person to carry from the car to the stand, take on public transport or check as event freight. A carry bag is included as standard for protection during transit.
Q: Can I get a new wrap for this counter when my branding changes?
A: Yes. The aluminium frame and reversible countertop are built for years of use across many events. When you need fresh branding, a new campaign message or a design for a specific event, get in touch with our team and we will arrange a new printed PVC wrap for the same counter. It is a much more cost-effective approach than replacing the whole unit.
Q: Do I need to have my artwork ready before placing the order?
A: No. Place your order now and prepare the artwork afterwards. We send you a personalised print template with full instructions within 24 hours. Your production lead time does not start until our print team has reviewed and approved your artwork, so you have time to get the design right without any pressure.
Q: What is the best exhibition counter for a trade show stand?
A: It depends on your stand size and how you use the counter. This 1000mm rectangular model is ideal if you need a proper working surface with space for a laptop, product samples and literature side by side. The flat front gives you the largest continuous branded area, and the internal shelf keeps your stand looking tidy throughout the day. For smaller stands, a round or oval counter takes up less floor space. To complete the stand, pair it with a backdrop and a premium roller banner.
Q: Can this counter support a laptop and other equipment on the surface?
A: Yes. The MDF countertop has a 100kg load capacity, so laptops, tablets, POS devices, heavy product samples and stacks of literature sit firmly without flexing. The 1000mm width means you are not balancing items on a narrow ledge. Everything sits comfortably with space to spare.
Q: Does the counter come with a carry bag?
A: Yes. A carry bag is included as standard. The counter packs down flat into the bag for protection during transport between venues, offices and storage.
Q: What warranty does this counter come with?
A: The aluminium frame and hardware are backed by a 5-year warranty. This is a commercial-grade counter built to withstand the rigours of touring and repeated event use across multiple seasons, not a single-show accessory. The warranty reflects the confidence we have in the construction.
Q: Is this exhibition counter suitable for outdoor events?
A: No. This counter is designed for indoor venues only, including exhibition halls, conference centres, hotels and retail spaces. The MDF countertop and PVC wrap are not rated for exposure to rain or outdoor weather conditions.
Q: How far in advance should I order before my event?
A: At least two to three weeks. After you order, we send an artwork template within 24 hours. You prepare your design and return it. Our print team reviews it and production takes 3 to 5 working days from the point they approve the artwork. Ordering early means more time to get the design right and less stress on event day.

1000mm Rectangular Exhibition Counter with Internal Storage and Custom Print
The CT1000RG solves a problem every exhibitor has faced: where do you put the things visitors are not supposed to see? The brochures you have not handed out yet, the laptop bag, the spare phone charger, the half-eaten lunch. This 1000mm rectangular counter hides all of it behind a clean, custom-printed front panel while giving you a full metre of working surface on top. Your stand looks professional. Your team stays organised. Visitors see your brand, not your clutter.
The counter arrives flat-packed and assembles without tools. The aluminium frame clicks together, the reversible MDF countertop drops into place, and the custom-printed PVC wrap attaches around the outside. One person can have it standing and ready in minutes. When the event is over, it packs down just as quickly.
What This Rectangular Counter Gives Your Exhibition Stand
- 1-metre working surface with 100kg load capacity: Enough room for a laptop, a tablet, a stack of brochures and a product sample, all at the same time. The 100kg capacity means this is a proper workspace that handles heavy demo equipment, stacked literature and point-of-sale hardware without flexing.
- Hidden internal shelving: A shelf behind the front panel keeps bags, stock, personal items and spare materials completely out of sight. Your stand looks tidy and intentional from the moment the doors open to the moment they close.
- Custom-printed PVC wrap included: The front and sides of the counter are covered with a full-colour printed wrap featuring your own artwork. Your branding is visible at eye level from every approach direction. The printing is included in the price.
- Reversible wood-effect countertop: One side is woodgrain, the other is black. Flip it to match the look of your stand. Two finishes from one countertop, no extras to buy.
- Tool-free assembly in minutes: The aluminium frame clicks together by hand. No allen keys, no bolts, no instructions manual needed. Your team can set it up at the venue with zero stress.
- Flat-pack portable design with carry bag included: The whole counter packs down flat for transport and storage. At approximately 13kg, one person carries it from the car to the stand. A padded carry bag is included for protection during transit.
- Reusable frame with updatable branding: The aluminium frame and countertop last for years. When your branding changes or you need a different message for a different event, get in touch with our team to arrange a new printed PVC wrap for the same frame. No need to replace the whole counter.
- Backed by a 5-year warranty: Built to withstand the rigours of touring and repeated event use. The 5-year warranty reflects the commercial-grade construction of the aluminium frame and hardware, giving you confidence that this counter will perform across years of exhibitions, not just one season.
- Trusted by blue-chip brands and small businesses alike: Part of our exhibition counter range, developed with nearly 50 years of experience supplying display solutions to UK exhibitors and event teams. From multinational product launches to independent pop-up stands, this counter earns its place.
How Exhibitors and Event Teams Use This Counter
| Trade Shows and Exhibitions | The go-to counter for stand teams who need a branded workspace with hidden storage. Use it as a reception point, demo station or lead-capture desk with everything you need within reach and everything you do not need out of sight. |
| Product Demonstrations | The 1-metre surface gives you room to set up a product, a screen and supporting materials side by side. The internal shelf holds backup stock, packaging and tools ready to go when the demo resets. |
| Registration and Information Desks | Works as a check-in point at conferences, seminars and corporate events. Visitors see a branded front panel. Your team has a laptop, badge printer and supplies organised behind it. |
| Retail Pop-Ups and Brand Activations | Creates a professional point of sale in shopping centres, hotel lobbies and temporary retail spaces. The branded wrap turns the counter into a freestanding billboard for your brand while the surface handles transactions. |
| University Open Days and Recruitment Fairs | Gives admissions teams and employers a branded base to work from. Prospectuses, handouts and giveaways go on the shelf. The countertop stays clear for conversations and sign-ups. |
| Hospitality and Venue Events | Used at hotel check-ins, gala registration desks and venue welcome points. The reversible countertop lets you match the finish to the event styling without ordering a separate unit. |

Every experienced exhibitor knows the real test of a good counter is not how it looks from the front. It is how it works from behind. Can your team find what they need without bending down to rummage through bags on the floor? Is there space for a laptop, a tablet and a stack of brochures without something falling off? Can visitors see your brand clearly, or is the front of your counter covered with sticky notes and stray cables? The 1000mm Rectangular Exhibition Counter answers all of those questions before they become problems on event day.
The internal shelf is the feature that makes the difference. It sits behind the front panel, completely hidden from visitors, and gives your team a dedicated space to store marketing materials, personal items, spare stock and anything else that would clutter the countertop if left out in the open. The surface stays clean. The stand looks professional. Your team can focus on the people in front of them instead of managing the mess behind them.
The countertop itself is reversible MDF with a woodgrain finish on one side and black on the other, and it handles a 100kg load capacity so heavy demo equipment, stacked literature and point-of-sale hardware sit firmly without flexing. Flip it to suit the style of your stand. The front and sides are wrapped in a custom-printed PVC panel featuring your own artwork, printed in full colour and included in the price. The aluminium frame clicks together without tools, and the whole unit packs down flat into the included carry bag for transport. At approximately 13kg, one person can carry it from the car to the stand without help.
This is a counter you buy once and use at every event. The aluminium frame and hardware are backed by a 5-year warranty, built to withstand the rigours of touring and repeated event use season after season. When your branding changes or you need a different message for a different show, contact our team to arrange a new printed wrap for the same frame. The structure and reversible countertop last for years. Only the wrap needs refreshing. That means your cost per event goes down the more you use it, and your stand looks sharp every single time.

Everything You Need to Know About This 1000mm Exhibition Counter
Q: What is an exhibition counter and why do I need one?
A: An exhibition counter is a portable branded workstation designed for trade shows, events and activations. It gives your team a dedicated surface to work from, a front panel to display your branding, and internal storage to keep clutter hidden. Without one, your team ends up working off a folding table with bags on the floor and materials piled up in view. A counter solves that instantly.
Q: Does this counter have storage inside?
A: Yes. There is a shelf inside the counter, hidden behind the front panel. It is accessible from the back by your team but completely invisible to visitors. Use it for brochures, spare stock, bags, devices or anything else you want off the countertop and out of sight.
Q: Is the custom-printed wrap included in the price or charged separately?
A: The printed PVC wrap is included. The price covers the aluminium frame, reversible MDF countertop and a full-colour custom-printed wrap for the front and sides. You supply your artwork and we handle the rest. There are no additional print charges.
Q: What does "reversible countertop" mean?
A: The MDF countertop has two different finishes: woodgrain on one side, black on the other. You choose which side faces up when you assemble the counter. If your stand has a warm, natural look, use the woodgrain side. If your stand is darker or more corporate, flip it to black. Two finishes from one piece, no extras needed.
Q: How quickly can one person set this counter up at an event?
A: A few minutes. The aluminium frame clicks together by hand with no tools. The countertop drops into place and the printed wrap attaches around the outside. One person can do the whole thing without instructions or help, which makes it ideal for teams who arrive at a venue and need to be ready fast.
Q: How heavy is this counter and can I carry it on my own?
A: Approximately 13kg when packed. That is light enough for one person to carry from the car to the stand, take on public transport or check as event freight. A carry bag is included as standard for protection during transit.
Q: Can I get a new wrap for this counter when my branding changes?
A: Yes. The aluminium frame and reversible countertop are built for years of use across many events. When you need fresh branding, a new campaign message or a design for a specific event, get in touch with our team and we will arrange a new printed PVC wrap for the same counter. It is a much more cost-effective approach than replacing the whole unit.
Q: Do I need to have my artwork ready before placing the order?
A: No. Place your order now and prepare the artwork afterwards. We send you a personalised print template with full instructions within 24 hours. Your production lead time does not start until our print team has reviewed and approved your artwork, so you have time to get the design right without any pressure.

The flat front gives you the largest continuous branded area, and the internal shelf keeps your stand looking tidy throughout the day. For smaller stands, a round or oval counter takes up less floor space. To complete the stand, pair it with a backdrop and a premium roller banner.
Q: Can this counter support a laptop and other equipment on the surface?
A: Yes. The MDF countertop has a 100kg load capacity, so laptops, tablets, POS devices, heavy product samples and stacks of literature sit firmly without flexing. The 1000mm width means you are not balancing items on a narrow ledge. Everything sits comfortably with space to spare.
Q: Does the counter come with a carry bag?
A: Yes. A carry bag is included as standard. The counter packs down flat into the bag for protection during transport between venues, offices and storage.
Q: What warranty does this counter come with?
A: The aluminium frame and hardware are backed by a 5-year warranty. This is a commercial-grade counter built to withstand the rigours of touring and repeated event use across multiple seasons, not a single-show accessory. The warranty reflects the confidence we have in the construction.
Q: Is this exhibition counter suitable for outdoor events?
A: No. This counter is designed for indoor venues only, including exhibition halls, conference centres, hotels and retail spaces. The MDF countertop and PVC wrap are not rated for exposure to rain or outdoor weather conditions.
Q: How far in advance should I order before my event?
A: At least two to three weeks. After you order, we send an artwork template within 24 hours. You prepare your design and return it. Our print team reviews it and production takes 3 to 5 working days from the point they approve the artwork. Ordering early means more time to get the design right and less stress on event day.

| Weight | Approximately 13kg | Light enough for one person to carry from the car to the stand. Manageable on public transport or as event freight. |
| Frame Material | Aluminium | Lightweight, strong and corrosion-resistant. Built for repeated assembly and transport across many events without losing shape. |
| Countertop | Reversible MDF (woodgrain / black) | Two finish options from one countertop. Flip it to match the tone of your stand. No need to order a separate surface. |
| Load Capacity | 100kg | The countertop handles heavy demo equipment, stacked literature, point-of-sale hardware and product samples without flexing. 100kg means you use it as a genuine workspace, not a surface you have to be careful with. |
| Internal Storage | Shelf included | A hidden shelf behind the front panel keeps bags, brochures, stock and personal items out of sight. Accessible from behind by your team, invisible to visitors. |
| Branded Wrap | Custom-printed PVC (included) | Full-colour printed wrap covers the front and sides with your artwork. Turns the counter into a branded display piece. Printing is included in the price. |
| Replacement Wraps | Available on request | The frame and countertop are built for long-term reuse. When your branding changes, contact our team to arrange a new printed wrap for the same unit. No need to replace the whole counter. |
| Warranty | 5 years | The aluminium frame and hardware are backed by a 5-year warranty, confirming this is a commercial-grade counter built to withstand the rigours of touring and repeated event use across multiple seasons. |
| Assembly | Tool-free, click-together | The aluminium frame connects by hand. One person can assemble the full counter in minutes at the venue. |
| Transport | Flat-pack with carry bag included | Packs down flat for storage and transport. A carry bag is included as standard for protection during transit between venues, offices and storage. |
| Recommended Use | Indoor only | Designed for indoor venues including exhibition halls, conference centres, hotels, retail spaces and corporate events. |

FAQs
Everything You Need to Know About This 1000mm Exhibition Counter
Q: What is an exhibition counter and why do I need one?
A: An exhibition counter is a portable branded workstation designed for trade shows, events and activations. It gives your team a dedicated surface to work from, a front panel to display your branding, and internal storage to keep clutter hidden. Without one, your team ends up working off a folding table with bags on the floor and materials piled up in view. A counter solves that instantly.
Q: Does this counter have storage inside?
A: Yes. There is a shelf inside the counter, hidden behind the front panel. It is accessible from the back by your team but completely invisible to visitors. Use it for brochures, spare stock, bags, devices or anything else you want off the countertop and out of sight.
Q: Is the custom-printed wrap included in the price or charged separately?
A: The printed PVC wrap is included. The price covers the aluminium frame, reversible MDF countertop and a full-colour custom-printed wrap for the front and sides. You supply your artwork and we handle the rest. There are no additional print charges.
Q: What does "reversible countertop" mean?
A: The MDF countertop has two different finishes: woodgrain on one side, black on the other. You choose which side faces up when you assemble the counter. If your stand has a warm, natural look, use the woodgrain side. If your stand is darker or more corporate, flip it to black. Two finishes from one piece, no extras needed.
Q: How quickly can one person set this counter up at an event?
A: A few minutes. The aluminium frame clicks together by hand with no tools. The countertop drops into place and the printed wrap attaches around the outside. One person can do the whole thing without instructions or help, which makes it ideal for teams who arrive at a venue and need to be ready fast.
Q: How heavy is this counter and can I carry it on my own?
A: Approximately 13kg when packed. That is light enough for one person to carry from the car to the stand, take on public transport or check as event freight. A carry bag is included as standard for protection during transit.
Q: Can I get a new wrap for this counter when my branding changes?
A: Yes. The aluminium frame and reversible countertop are built for years of use across many events. When you need fresh branding, a new campaign message or a design for a specific event, get in touch with our team and we will arrange a new printed PVC wrap for the same counter. It is a much more cost-effective approach than replacing the whole unit.
Q: Do I need to have my artwork ready before placing the order?
A: No. Place your order now and prepare the artwork afterwards. We send you a personalised print template with full instructions within 24 hours. Your production lead time does not start until our print team has reviewed and approved your artwork, so you have time to get the design right without any pressure.
Q: What is the best exhibition counter for a trade show stand?
A: It depends on your stand size and how you use the counter. This 1000mm rectangular model is ideal if you need a proper working surface with space for a laptop, product samples and literature side by side. The flat front gives you the largest continuous branded area, and the internal shelf keeps your stand looking tidy throughout the day. For smaller stands, a round or oval counter takes up less floor space. To complete the stand, pair it with a backdrop and a premium roller banner.
Q: Can this counter support a laptop and other equipment on the surface?
A: Yes. The MDF countertop has a 100kg load capacity, so laptops, tablets, POS devices, heavy product samples and stacks of literature sit firmly without flexing. The 1000mm width means you are not balancing items on a narrow ledge. Everything sits comfortably with space to spare.
Q: Does the counter come with a carry bag?
A: Yes. A carry bag is included as standard. The counter packs down flat into the bag for protection during transport between venues, offices and storage.
Q: What warranty does this counter come with?
A: The aluminium frame and hardware are backed by a 5-year warranty. This is a commercial-grade counter built to withstand the rigours of touring and repeated event use across multiple seasons, not a single-show accessory. The warranty reflects the confidence we have in the construction.
Q: Is this exhibition counter suitable for outdoor events?
A: No. This counter is designed for indoor venues only, including exhibition halls, conference centres, hotels and retail spaces. The MDF countertop and PVC wrap are not rated for exposure to rain or outdoor weather conditions.
Q: How far in advance should I order before my event?
A: At least two to three weeks. After you order, we send an artwork template within 24 hours. You prepare your design and return it. Our print team reviews it and production takes 3 to 5 working days from the point they approve the artwork. Ordering early means more time to get the design right and less stress on event day.

Practical Guides for Building a Better Exhibition Stand
A counter gives your team a base to work from. Getting the most out of it depends on how the rest of your stand is set up, how your messaging connects with visitors and how prepared you are before the doors open. These guides cover everything from stand design to visitor engagement.
