TRADE SHOW KITS FOR SAMPLES AND COLLATERAL
UK-made trade show kits that keep samples and collateral together, easy to pack and refresh between stands, with four-week production.
Exhibition Kits, We Keep Packing and Unpacking Simple
Trade show kits keep samples and collateral in one organised set so stand teams can pack, move and be able to reset quickly. We mark clear homes and labels so everyone knows where things go. A 3D visual helps the stand team agree layouts in advance, so setup is repeatable across days.
How Exhibition Kits Keep Stands Organised
Event weeks require repeatable setups. FMB keeps samples and collateral in one organised exhibition kit, marking sensible homes so teams can set up quickly and keep the stand tidy through the show. We keep timing predictable and instructions clear. We run a four-week production schedule your team can plan around.

Trade Show Kits FAQs
-
Our standard lead time is four weeks from artwork sign-off. Before that you’ll approve a plain sample (structure) and a 3D visual (artwork). If the date is tight, we’ll discuss the best options to meet it and confirm what’s achievable before we start.
-
Yes. We prioritise approvals, suggest finish tweaks if it helps timing, and keep you updated against a simple plan. We’ll talk through the best route to meet your deadline and set clear checkpoints.
-
Typical runs start at set counts for stand teams (tens), with room to scale. We can pilot smaller to prove the format, then increase as demand grows. We’ll advise on the most efficient route for your numbers.
-
Yes. We design recyclable card fitments around your products, so everything holds position, with protective outers available where the route demands it. You can test the fit using the plain sample before we print.
-
Our default spec is FSC-certified boards with sustainable inks and coatings, which are all fully recyclable.
-
Often, yes. Foil used in small areas is so thin it behaves like ink in recycling, so it washes out. Single-sided laminates on sturdy boxes are usually acceptable because the film is tiny compared with the paper fibres.
-
Yes, if required. We offer kitting, assembly and co-packing, plus international multi-address despatch, with QC sign-off, tracking links, and despatch reports. If you prefer, we can ship to a single address for your team to pack.
-
Send your products and brief; a mood board helps us see what you like. We’ll discuss ideas, then produce a plain sample for structural sign-off based on your preferred route. Next we share a 3D visual for approval and move to a four-week production.
Optional Trade Show Kit Fulfilment
Show weeks need consistent setups. If needed, FMB kits, assembles, and co-packs the exhibition kit, planning packing order and clear labels so stand teams can prepare and refresh quickly. Individual outers, plain or branded, are available and sized to fit the main box for maximum protection together with a tear-strip for security. You receive tracking links and a despatch report for every shipment.

Sustainable Materials and Finishes for Shows
Exhibition kits benefit from materials that last the week and respect the spec. We choose FSC boards, recyclable card fitments, and sustainable inks and coatings, adding finishes such as foil, emboss, spot gloss, and soft-touch laminates. UK-made production helps avoid long-haul emissions. At FMB we guide finishes that stand up to events without over-specifying.

Zara Ahmed, Events Manager: “Show season is hectic. FMB kept samples and collateral together so pack in and out were quick, and staff could find what they needed. The stand stayed tidy all week and handovers were simple. Much appreciated.”

James Morton, Marketing Ops: “Found through Google. They planned clear homes and simple labels; a quick 3D visual helped brief the stand team. Moving between halls was easier and we finished each day in good shape. Thank you.”
