1001 Uses for a Shipping Container #209: An Exhibition Stand!
You really can utilise a shipping container for a variety of different things! Shipping containers can make a perfect exhibition stand. They offer something different to the usual table stand in the way they stand out and also catch the eye of potential customers. Add on your company advertising and banners the container will really stand out from the crowd!
Steel shipping containers can easily be cut down and modified to fit a variety of accessories including doors, shutters, hatches to suit your exhibition stands needs. A popular conversion option for events company’s is removing the side of a container. This creates easy access and allows you to showcase the banners and contents of the shipping container.
They are ideal for exhibitions as they can easily be moved from one site to another.
Nissan Exhibition Stand
One example of a previous project we have worked on is for Nissan for the 2017 Champions League final in Cardiff.
This client needed a 20ft one trip shipping container with a side removed. The container was to be painted internally and externally in white and electrics to be fitted too. It was used as an interactive exhibition stand for football fans to go inside and interact with the screens.
Hitachi Exhibition Stand
In 2023 we also helped KW Construction to create a exhibition container for Hitachi UK. We supplied two 20ft one trip shipping containers. Our London yard started the base work for the modifications. Our yard repainted the containers in grey and cut apertures in the sides. We then delivered the containers to KW Construction. Once with KW, they completed the rest of the fit out. This included fitting doors and windows into the apertures, adding branding and furniture. You can find more information in our article Exhibition Containers for Hitachi UK Converted by KW Construction.
Why One Trip Containers?
If you are planning to create an exhibition container we highly recommend opting for a one trip container. One trip containers are as new as you can get in the UK and will be in near perfect condition. One trip containers are available as standard in 20ft and 40ft, but we can also cut them down to size if you require something smaller.
Exhibition containers will be in front of customers most of the time. Therefore, you would most likely want your container to have the best cosmetic appearance possible.
