Home Unique Custom Stand Construction - A visible difference "What is the difference between system and custom stands? System stands like Octanorm, Maxima, offer pre-fabricated panels which are mounted together in a modular way. System stands have very limited design possibilities as they are plain panels. There are also limitations to build plain walls, since the walls have metal connections, making large graphics a difficult challenge. System stands look two-dimensional. The colors cannot be customized to the company's corporate colors as the systems are limited to a small range of available colors. Custom stands allow unlimited design options as they are hand-made from wood, iron, glass, and plexiglass. Custom stands can project the company's corporate identity through unique design, while transmitting a clear marketing message to the audience. Impressive custom stands can be constructed giving the exhibition stand a memorable and eye-catching presentation.
