ShowSuit® shell scheme display
Seamless fabric graphics for shell scheme exhibition stands
ShowSuit® is a lightweight, reusable fabric display system designed to fit neatly inside standard shell scheme exhibition booths. It creates a smooth, full-wall graphic finish without panel joins, reflective glare or complex installation — delivering a clean, professional look that’s easy to transport and simple to install.
Ideal for repeat exhibitors, travelling teams and one-person installs, ShowSuit transforms a basic shell scheme into a polished branded space in minutes.
ShowSuit is part of our wider range of shell scheme graphics, designed to suit different venues, budgets and installation preferences.
What is ShowSuit?
ShowSuit replaces traditional rigid shell scheme panels with full-height tensioned fabric graphics, supported by slim aluminium rails that clip directly to the shell scheme frame.
The result is: A seamless fabric wall finish
No visible fixings or panel joins
Lightweight components that pack into a single carry bag
A system that can be reused across multiple shows and layouts
ShowSuit is supplied as a complete system, including fabric graphics, rails, clips and straps — everything required to line your shell scheme walls.
How ShowSuit works
Pre-fitted fabric graphics
Each fabric graphic is supplied pre-fitted to lightweight aluminium rails, ready for installation.
Clip to the shell scheme frame
The rails attach directly to the shell scheme structure using clips – no tools required.
Tension and finish
Adjustable straps at the base tension the fabric flat against the wall, creating a smooth, professional finish with the fixings hidden from view.
Clean, seamless result
Once installed, only the graphic is visible, delivering a full-height fabric wall with no panel breaks or glare.
Installation is straightforward and can typically be completed by one person.
Shell scheme compatibility
ShowSuit is compatible with most standard shell scheme systems, including:
Octanorm
GES
Showlite
Freeman
If you’re unsure about your specific shell scheme, simply send us your booth plan or organiser details and we’ll confirm compatibility before production.
Understanding “per running metre”
ShowSuit is priced by wall length, not by height.
Each running metre includes: One full-height fabric panel (approx. 2.4m high)
All required rails, clips and fixings
You do not need to order the height separately — it’s included automatically.
For example:
A 3m back wall = 3 running metres
A corner stand with two 3m walls = 6 running metres
Compact and portable
ShowSuit is designed for easy transport and storage.
Up to 10m of ShowSuit fits into a single over-shoulder carry bag
Lightweight components make it ideal for travel by car, train or public transport
Bag sizes:
Small bag – fits up to approx. 5m of ShowSuit
Large bag – fits up to approx. 10m of ShowSuit and accessories
All bags are made from durable reinforced fabric with strong zips and a shoulder strap.
Greener and future-proof
ShowSuit is a sustainable alternative to traditional panel systems.
The fabric graphic can be recycled
The hardware can be reused with new prints
Ideal for rebranding without replacing the full system
Replacement graphics are available whenever you refresh your design.
