Parakeet - shell infill panel upgrade
The budget-friendly backdrop that drives big exhibition sales.
Product Description
Transform Your Shell Scheme: Parakeet Infill Panels
Exhibiting is one of the most powerful ways to get your business noticed, but standing out in a crowded hall shouldn’t mean draining your marketing budget. Parakeet Infill Panels bridge the gap between high impact and high value. By transforming blank, uninspiring shell scheme walls into a vibrant, brand-aligned backdrop, you create an inviting space that stops foot traffic, drives engagement, and ultimately helps convert passing leads into meaningful sales—making your exhibition investment genuinely worthwhile.
We print your artwork at high resolution using state-of-the-art UV printers, ensuring scratch-resistant, punchy graphics on a premium 330gsm thick, tear-resistant, smooth grey-back 'block-out' matt PET material. Plus, it's 100% PVC-free!
Every order includes complimentary artworking of your panels to ensure your design is perfectly prepped for print.

Panel Sizes & Compatibility
Shell scheme systems vary from show to show. We cut your panels to fit the specific framework of your event. Standard sizes include:
- Octonorm Stands (Creative Live / Showlite shows): 950mm wide × 2340mm high
- GES Sodem Shell Scheme: 923mm wide × 2340mm high
- Edge Shell Scheme Stand: 946mm wide × 2340mm high
⚠️ Check Your Exhibitor Manual: Please confirm the exact framework system with your show organiser, as the systems used can vary show-to-show and year-to-year. If you are unsure about which system or measurements you require, please get in touch with us. Send over any info provided by your show organiser, and we will happily advise on the correct sizes.
Wall Type & Fixing Options
To ensure your panels stick perfectly, we tailor the Velcro setup to the show's wall type:
- For Foamex Shell Schemes (Smooth white or coloured PVC infill boards): We provide prints with loop Velcro pre-applied to the back, plus the necessary hook Velcro for you to apply to the walls.
- For Fabric Clad Panels (Typically grey or black fabric): We will apply hook Velcro directly to your prints so they can attach straight onto the fabric panel without the need for any additional wall Velcro.
⚠️ Important DIY Note: If you choose DIY installation on a Foamex scheme, please remember to completely remove all Velcro from the venue's walls at the end of the show. Organisers will charge exhibitors for any sticky residue or damage left behind!
