Raffles City Convention Centre Printing Singapore

What print collateral is required for conferences at Raffles City Convention Centre?

Conference printing for Raffles City Convention Centre in Singapore requires coordinating display signage, backdrops, and promotional flyers to suit luxury hotel ballroom environments. From 850 mm pull-up banners to tensioned fabric backdrops and gloss art paper handouts, the specifications below keep conference materials legible and ready to set up at the venue.

Raffles City Convention Centre is part of Fairmont Singapore, which states on its meetings and events page that its meeting rooms span 108,000 square feet. EZ Print is independent of the venue and of any event held there; the venue is named only as a location.

Event organisers staging summits across the complex coordinate three primary categories of printed conference collateral:

• Foyer Wayfinding & Sponsor Banners: High-visibility pull-up banners welcome delegates emerging into convention foyers. 850 mm and 1000 mm are standard. Other widths exist but the cassette has to match exactly. Visible graphic height measures about 2000 mm. Artwork requires about 60 mm at the bottom, inside the cassette and never visible, alongside about 30 mm at the top, taken into the rail. Because the lowest 100 mm of visible graphic is behind whoever is standing at the stand, session titles and corporate branding must sit above that zone. Graphics are printed on a stay-flat banner material that resists curling when rolled and unrolled repeatedly. Explore banner hardware options at /printing/pull-up-banners/.
• Stage Walls & Media Backdrops: Plenary stage walls and photo backdrops can use silicone-edge graphic (SEG) stretch fabric. Prepress files must provide about 20 mm beyond the aperture on every edge, taken by the seam and the silicone bead. The fabric is dye sublimated, so colour is in the fibre, and it folds for transport without a permanent crease. View exhibition display options at /printing/exhibition-stands/.
• Conference Handouts & Session Flyers: Programme flyers and session handouts are printed on gloss art paper held at 128 and 157 gsm, the usual stock for a hand-out. Artwork files require 3 mm bleed all round, 5 mm safe margin in from the trim. Review flyer specifications at /printing/flyers/.

How should event organisers schedule print production across advance timelines?

Scheduling print production for Raffles City conferences requires synchronising artwork preparation, proofing, and finishing well before opening registration. Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days, so banners, fabric backdrops and handout flyers should be approved with that window in hand before the event date.

Printing in Singapore takes international couriers and checked baggage out of the schedule.

A disciplined production schedule coordinates three sequential phases:

1. Prepress Review & Proofing: Verify graphic vector outlines, confirm corporate colours, and enforce mechanical bleed zones. Verify pull-up banner files incorporate 30 mm top and 60 mm bottom allowances, keeping key copy clear of the bottom 100 mm standing dead zone. Ensure handout flyers maintain 3 mm bleed and a 5 mm safe margin.
2. Manufacturing & Assembly: Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days. Express is quoted per job. For late programme changes or speaker substitutions: Same-day and urgent printing available. Subject to artwork approval, payment, print type and production availability. Timing confirmed per job.
3. Logistics & Delivery: Arrange courier delivery or collection by arrangement from our office at Centennial Tower, a short distance from Raffles City.

How to coordinate delivery and collection for Civic District events

Delivery to Raffles City starts with the organiser’s receiving hours and delivery arrangements. Alternatively, event coordinators can arrange collection from our office at Centennial Tower and check the collateral before taking it to the convention centre. Island-wide courier delivery is available, so the choice is between a courier booked into the organiser’s delivery window and a collection your own team controls.

Delivery into Raffles City follows the venue and organiser’s own exhibitor arrangements, which are usually set out in the event’s exhibitor manual. Confirm the delivery window and on-site contact with the organiser before booking freight. Where direct venue delivery is not practical, collection by arrangement from our office works as follows:

• Collection Point Location: Centennial Tower, #21-00/01, 3 Temasek Avenue, Singapore 039190.
• Operating Schedule: Staffed Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
• Collection Terms: Collection by arrangement — tell us when you would like to collect and we will confirm the time.

Event staff can collect the banners and delegate flyers on the way to the convention centre. For events at Suntec, consult our Suntec City event printing guide.

Common mistakes to avoid when printing for Raffles City events

Overlooking standing dead zones, cassette allowances, or organiser delivery instructions can create unnecessary friction during conference registration at Raffles City. Avoiding these frequent conference printing mistakes keeps your corporate event looking professional from registration to the last session. Each one below is avoidable at the artwork stage, before anything is printed.

1. Positioning Vital Copy in the Bottom 100 mm: Placing speaker names or sponsor marks in the lower 100 mm of pull-up banners leaves them obscured behind standing delegates in crowded hotel foyers. Keep all critical copy elevated.
2. Omitting the 60 mm Bottom Cassette Allowance: The bottom 60 mm sits inside the cassette and is never visible, so artwork set flush to the bottom edge loses that strip.
3. Not Specifying Stay-Flat Material: A pull-up graphic is rolled and unrolled at every set-up. Specify the stay-flat banner material, which resists curling when rolled and unrolled repeatedly.
4. Neglecting the 20 mm SEG Seam Allowance: Backdrop files without about 20 mm beyond the aperture on every edge lose part of the crest into the extrusion, because that strip is taken by the seam and the silicone bead.
5. Booking a Courier Without Checking the Exhibitor Manual: Delivery windows and freight access points are set by the venue and organiser for each convention. Confirm them first, or schedule collection instead.

Worked example: Specifying conference collateral and pull-up banners for an executive summit

Translating an executive summit requirement into an exact print specification ensures timely manufacturing and seamless ballroom registration. This worked example illustrates how a fictional industry body specifies directional pull-up banners and promotional flyers for an executive conference held at Raffles City Convention Centre.

Hypothetical illustration. Figures are assumptions for explanation, not a real transaction or advice.

A fictional industry body holds a half-day members’ briefing for 200 delegates at Raffles City Convention Centre. The planning committee requires four directional pull-up banners and 200 copies of the conference programme flyer.

The banner specification calls for four 850 × 2000 mm pull-up banner stands. Artwork includes the 30 mm top rail allowance and the 60 mm bottom cassette allowance, printed on stay-flat banner material. All room directions and sponsor marks are maintained above the bottom 100 mm dead zone to ensure clear legibility across meeting foyers.

For conference sessions, the committee specifies 200 copies of the programme flyer printed on 157 gsm gloss art paper. Prepress files incorporate 3 mm bleed all round and a 5 mm safe margin in from the trim, ensuring crisp four-colour presentation.

The order proceeds under our standard turnaround of 7–14 working days. Express is quoted per job. Same-day and urgent printing available. Subject to artwork approval, payment, print type and production availability. Timing confirmed per job. The finished banners and flyers are collected by arrangement from our office at Centennial Tower, #21-00/01, 3 Temasek Avenue, Singapore 039190, before the event.
