Singapore FinTech Festival Exhibitor Print Checklist

What should an exhibitor print for Singapore FinTech Festival 2026?

The Singapore FinTech Festival runs from 18 to 20 November 2026 at Singapore EXPO. Most exhibitors need the same core kit: a fabric or panel backdrop, one or two pull-up banners, name cards, product one-pagers and a folder to hold them. Each item has its own stock and artwork allowances.

Overseas teams often print in Singapore rather than carry graphics in their luggage, so the finished work can be delivered within Singapore. Standard turnaround is generally 7–14 working days. Same-day and urgent printing available. Subject to artwork approval, payment, print type and production availability. Timing confirmed per job.

How should backdrops and pull-up banners be specified?

A backdrop and a pull-up banner each lose part of the printed area to their hardware, so the artwork has to allow for it. On an SEG system the printed cloth has a silicone edge tensioned into an extrusion, and the graphic is printed larger than the visible aperture so the bead can be sewn in.

• SEG Fabric: A single cloth runs to about 3000 × 2300 mm. Wider walls are joined at a frame member, so keep faces and small text away from the join. Review systems at /printing/exhibition-stands/.
• Pull-Up Allowances: About 60 mm at the bottom is inside the cassette and about 30 mm at the top goes into the rail. The lowest 100 mm of visible graphic is behind whoever is standing at the stand, so leave it empty. See /printing/pull-up-banners/.
• Resolution and Type: 100 dpi at final size is sufficient for a pull-up read from three to five metres. Use about 25 mm cap height for anything that must be read at three metres.
• Surface: Matt material suits an exhibition hall, because gloss under stand lighting acts like a mirror.

What makes name cards and hand-outs work at a conference?

Name cards are handed over quickly and kept only if they are easy to read. Set them at 90 × 54 mm with 3 mm bleed, on 350 gsm matt art card with matt or soft-touch lamination. Do not ask for spot UV on soft-touch, because the varnish will not key to that film without a tie-coat. A printed QR code linking to a contact page saves typing.

One-pagers are normally 128–157 gsm gloss art paper with 3 mm bleed all round and a 5 mm safe margin in from the trim. A longer overview works as an A4 tri-fold folded to DL, and a 350 gsm matt art card folder keeps the sheets together. See /printing/flyers/, /printing/brochures/, /printing/presentation-folders/ and our business card printing page.

Decision checklist: printing for Singapore FinTech Festival

Confirming these points before the artwork is final lets the order be quoted once and checked before set-up. Most of them come from your exhibitor manual and your stand plan, so gather those first, then match each printed item to its own size, stock and artwork allowances before asking for a quotation.

• Stand Size: Confirm the wall dimensions and any limits in your exhibitor manual.
• Backdrop Joins: If the wall is wider than about 3000 mm, place the join away from faces and small text.
• Pull-Up Dead Zone: Keep the lowest 100 mm of visible graphic clear, and allow for the 60 mm cassette and 30 mm rail.
• Hand-Out Stock: Specify 128–157 gsm gloss art paper with 3 mm bleed and a 5 mm safe margin.
• Delivery Details: Give the delivery address, stand number, contact person and receiving time, and check your exhibitor manual for the venue’s delivery rules.
• Turnaround: Standard turnaround is generally 7–14 working days. Same-day and urgent printing available. Subject to artwork approval, payment, print type and production availability. Timing confirmed per job.

Common mistakes to avoid when printing for an exhibition

Most exhibition print problems are decided at the artwork stage, long before anything reaches the stand. Each mistake below comes from ignoring the hardware that holds the graphic or the place a visitor will read it, and each one can be settled in the file before production starts.

1. Designing Pull-Ups to the Bottom Edge: The bottom 60 mm is inside the cassette, where it is never visible.
2. Putting the Message Low on the Banner: The lowest 100 mm of visible graphic is behind whoever is standing at the stand. Keep the main message in the top third.
3. Supplying 300 dpi Files for a Two-Metre Banner: 100 dpi at final size is sufficient, and the smaller file is easier to handle.
4. Placing Text Across a Fabric Join: On a wall wider than a single cloth, keep faces and small text away from the join.
5. Choosing a Hand-Out Stock Below 128 gsm: Below 128 gsm the sheet feels like a photocopy.

Worked example: Specifying a print kit for a fintech exhibitor

This example shows how a fictional software company turns one stand into a short, complete print list. It settles the backdrop, the banners and the hand-outs first, then applies each item’s own stock and artwork allowances, so the order can be quoted from a single specification and checked before set-up at the venue.

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

A fictional payments software company takes a stand at a trade exhibition at Singapore EXPO. It orders one SEG fabric backdrop within the single-cloth size, and two pull-up banners at 850 × 2000 mm visible area with the lowest 100 mm left empty.

For conversations on the stand, the team orders five hundred A4 one-pagers on 157 gsm gloss art paper with 3 mm bleed and a 5 mm safe margin, one hundred presentation folders on 350 gsm matt art card, and name cards on 350 gsm matt art card with matt lamination.

The order is scheduled under our standard turnaround, generally 7–14 working days, with artwork checked before production and island-wide courier delivery within Singapore.
