Exhibition stand design for Shanghai

Shanghai has two giant venues: the single-storey halls of SNIEC in Pudong, and the enormous National Exhibition and Convention Center in the west. Local contractors usually build what international exhibitors design elsewhere.

In short

Exhibition stand design for Shanghai usually means the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) or the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC). International exhibitors commonly design at home and build through a local contractor. Studio's 3D model, render and DXF give you a clear reference to send, which reduces the risk of misunderstanding across languages.

Shanghai

What you get.

01

A local contractor builds

Build from your drawings, and agree on samples for materials and colours.

02

Chinese language matters

The plot on the floor plan

One design for every quote

Send Shanghai builders the same plan, elevations and concept quantities, so their prices describe one booth.

Curves, battens and light

AI-composed curved walls, timber battens and LED strips are all shown in 3D before anyone in Shanghai cuts a panel.

FAQ

Good to know.

What are Shanghai's main exhibition venues?

SNIEC in Pudong and the NECC in the Hongqiao area.

How do I work with a Chinese contractor?

Share exact drawings, agree materials by sample and ask for photos during the build.

Does Studio translate my graphics?

No. Upload professionally translated artwork.

Can a stand builder build from these designs?

Studio produces dimension-controlled concept designs with plans, elevations and a schedule that are accurate to the 3D model, which is ideal for pitching, quoting and planning. Structure, rigging, electrics, fire safety and venue approvals still need your stand builder and the organiser.

How much does Studio cost?

Studio runs on credits. Every workspace gets 5 starter credits once. Buy more when you need them: no subscription, no monthly charges and purchased credits never expire. An AI stand design costs 5 credits, a render 5 (8 in 2K) and image to CAD 4. Editing, drawings and exports are free. Top-up packs start at 25 credits for $5.
