Modular Exhibition Stands Australia
If you exhibit at more than two or three events per year, a modular exhibition stand will almost certainly save you money. Custom one-off builds are expensive to produce and expensive to store. Modular systems are designed to reconfigure for different floor plans, adapt to different venues and be reused without rebuilding from scratch.
Brij & Co designs and fabricates modular exhibition stands for Australian businesses across all industries. Our modular systems are built to the same quality standards as our custom builds, using commercial-grade aluminium extrusion, high-pressure laminate panels and fabric tension graphics that can be changed between shows.
What Is a Modular Exhibition Stand?
A modular stand uses a standardised structural system, typically aluminium extrusion or a compatible connector system, that allows the framework to be assembled in multiple configurations. A system designed for a 6×3 inline stand can often be reconfigured as a 3×3 for a smaller event, or extended to 6×6 with additional components.
Graphics on modular stands are typically produced on tension fabric, snap frames or click-in panel systems that allow you to replace imagery between events without replacing the structural frame. This is where modular systems deliver their biggest per-show cost saving: a graphic refresh is a fraction of the cost of a new build.
Not all modular systems are the same. Off-the-shelf modular kits from display suppliers are inexpensive but visually generic. Our modular systems are custom-designed to your brand, with proprietary structural elements and bespoke graphic formats that don’t look like a hire stand. view our full exhibition stand range
When to Choose a Modular Stand vs a Custom Build
A custom build is the right choice for a single flagship event where brand impact is the absolute priority and budget isn’t a constraint. A modular system is the right choice when you exhibit regularly, travel to multiple cities, work with varying floor plan sizes or want to manage your per-show stand cost over time.
Many of our clients use a hybrid approach: a custom-designed structural core with modular graphic panels and interchangeable accessories. The core structure reflects their brand identity and the modular elements allow them to adapt messaging, imagery and product focus between events.
Modular Stand Features and Options
Our modular systems include options for backlit LED graphic panels, integrated storage lockable counters, monitor and screen mounts, header bar signage, flooring overlays and branded furniture that stacks for compact transport. All systems are designed with weight and pack size in mind, which matters when you’re freighting to Brisbane, Perth and Darwin in the same year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a modular stand and a hire stand?
A hire stand is a generic system owned by the hire company, typically identical to dozens of other hired stands at the same event. A modular stand from Brij & Co is custom-designed for your brand, with your graphics, your layout and your structural choices. You own it, store it and reuse it for as long as it works for you.
How many times can a modular stand be reused?
A well-built modular system will last 5-10 years with proper handling and storage. The structural framework is the most durable component. Graphics are typically refreshed every 2-3 years or whenever the brand or messaging changes. The return on investment improves with every reuse.
Can a modular stand be reconfigured for different event footprints?
Yes. We design our modular systems with reconfiguration in mind. A 6×3 system typically reconfigures to 3×3 by using half the framework. Moving to larger footprints may require additional structural components, which we design and price into the initial system.
How much does a modular exhibition stand cost?
Modular systems start from approximately $4,000-$6,000 for a basic 3×3 system with tension fabric graphics. Mid-range 6×3 systems with backlit panels and a counter typically range from $8,000-$15,000. Pricing depends on size, components and graphic complexity. We provide a detailed itemised quote after reviewing your brief.
How are modular stands packed for interstate transport?
Modular systems are designed with transport in mind. Structural components pack into labelled aluminium or timber transit cases. Graphics roll or fold into carry bags or flat-pack frames. We design the packing configuration at the same time as the stand, so transport is always part of the brief.
Can I update my modular stand graphics between events?
Yes. Updating graphics is one of the primary advantages of a modular system. We produce replacement graphics for your existing system at significantly lower cost than a full rebuild. Lead time for graphic replacement is 2-3 weeks.
