Build bold spaces without permanent infrastructure.
Our Modular Cardboard Event Walls are one of our most versatile and popular systems, designed for exhibitions, brand activations, theatre sets, stage backdrops and experiential builds.
Lightweight, reusable and fully customisable, these walls allow you to create anything from a single branded backdrop to full-scale room layouts or maze-like installations.
Made in Australia using high recycled content cardboard, they provide a sustainable alternative to traditional expo booth structures and temporary build systems.
Specifications & How It Works
Our Cardboard Exhibition & Display Walls are designed to be lightweight, adaptable and easy to configure across a wide range of environments.
Wall Dimensions
- • Height: 2350mm
• Width: 980mm per unit
• Thickness options:
– 200mm (standard, allows TV integration)
– 100mm (slim profile option)
• Weight: Approximately 5kg per wall panel
Each wall unit is engineered for indoor installations and can be combined to create larger structural layouts.
Connection System
Walls join together using an internal pin system located at both the top and bottom of each unit. This allows panels to align securely while remaining modular and reconfigurable.
As panels connect individually:
• Small seams will be visible between units
• Walls can be extended to create longer runs
• Corners and custom layouts can be achieved
Because the system is modular, walls can be disassembled, transported and reassembled for future events.
Stability & Footing Options
Wall panels are not freestanding on their own. Stability is achieved using support feet, selected based on your layout and environment.
Available options include:
• Side support feet
• Rear support feet
• External weighting solutions
Footing requirements depend on traffic flow, installation design and whether media elements are integrated.
Designed for Adaptability
The lightweight structure allows walls to be repositioned as needed, making them suitable for evolving exhibition layouts, touring installations or multi-day events where flexibility is required.
Printing, Branding & 3D Customisation
Cardboard Exhibition & Display Walls can be fully skinned with custom artwork on one or both sides.
You can:
- Work with our internal graphic designer
- Supply print-ready artwork using our dielines
- Request solid colour finishes using CMYK values
Printed skins are removable and replaceable, allowing the same wall bodies to be reused across multiple campaigns or events. This reduces waste, lowers long-term production costs and supports circular event design.
Seam Visibility & Multi-Panel Artwork
When walls are joined together, small seams will remain visible between panels. For this reason, large-scale artwork that spans multiple units cannot be completely seamless.
Graphics are typically contained within each wall panel.
If your design requires stronger visual continuity, we can incorporate custom embossing overlays.
Embossing & Dimensional Effects
Embossing involves adding an additional layer of cardboard to create depth and texture.
This allows you to:
- Highlight key brand elements
- Add sculptural dimension
- Soften or disguise sections of panel joins
- Create premium, layered exhibition features
Embossing is particularly effective for trade show booths, stage backdrops and immersive brand activations where visual impact matters.
Layout Configurations & Media Integration
Our Cardboard Exhibition & Display Walls are designed to scale with your concept.
Because each wall unit connects using an internal pin system, they can be arranged into a wide range of layouts from simple branded panels to immersive built environments.
Flexible Layout Possibilities
Walls can be configured as:
- A single branded display wall or oversized signage panel
- A multi-panel backdrop for stages or speaker areas
- A full exhibition or trade show booth
- Workshop partitions or breakout zones
- Retail pop-up environments
- Immersive rooms or maze-style installations
Layouts can be reconfigured between events, allowing you to adapt the same wall system to new spaces, campaigns or venue requirements.
Small seams will remain visible where panels connect. For designs that require stronger visual continuity, custom embossing can be incorporated to add depth and soften join lines.
Integrated TV & Digital Media
The 200mm thick wall option allows for integrated TV placement within the structure.
This creates a clean, built-in media display ideal for:
• Product demonstrations at trade shows
• Workshop presentations
• Brand storytelling environments
• Interactive exhibition booths
TVs can be supplied by us or provided by you. Integration is planned during the design stage to ensure stability, cable management and clean visual presentation.
By combining structural walls with embedded media, you can create dynamic exhibition spaces that balance physical presence with digital engagement.
Indoor Installation & Outdoor Considerations
Standard Walls are primarily designed for indoor events.
Outdoor applications are assessed case-by-case, considering:
- Location and exposure
- Duration of installation
- Support and anchoring requirements
While the cardboard structure remains stable when exposed to moisture, weather conditions may affect printed finishes. If outdoor use is being considered, discuss this early so we can advise on suitability and alternatives.
Sustainability & Reuse
- 100% Australian made
- Minimum 70% recycled content
- Designed for repeated use
- Fully recyclable at end of life
By replacing printed skins rather than entire structures, this system supports circular event design and sustainability reporting goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are cardboard event walls strong enough for exhibitions and trade shows?
Yes. Our modular cardboard walls are engineered for indoor exhibitions, brand activations and stage environments. When paired with appropriate foot supports, they provide stable structural backdrops suitable for high-traffic event spaces.
Can cardboard exhibition walls be reused for multiple events?
Yes. The wall bodies are designed for long-term reuse. Printed skins can be removed and replaced, allowing the same structure to be refreshed with new branding or campaign artwork.
Can graphics run seamlessly across multiple wall panels?
Full wall designs that span across multiple units cannot be completely seamless, as small joins will remain visible where panels connect.
However, selected design elements can be enhanced using custom embossing. Embossed overlays add an additional layer of cardboard to create depth and dimension, helping conceal parts of the seam and elevate key visual features within the overall design.
Can a TV be integrated into a cardboard wall system?
Yes. The 200mm thick wall option allows for integrated TV placement. This is commonly used in trade show booths, workshops and brand activations to display media content.
Are these walls suitable for outdoor events?
These walls are primarily designed for indoor use. Outdoor installations are assessed based on environment, exposure and duration. Prints and finishes will likely be affected by weather conditions
How heavy are the cardboard wall panels?
Each wall unit weighs approximately 5kg, making them lightweight enough for easy handling while remaining structurally effective when properly supported.
