Stand design tips for Gulfood Manufacturing

• Plan machinery first. Weight, size, power (often three-phase), compressed air and water for live-running machines decide the floor plan — share them before design starts.

• Keep demos safe. Running lines need guarding and clear distances from the aisle to pass venue safety checks.

• Mind the noise. Put meeting areas away from running machines, or use a closed meeting room for buyer talks.

• Book delivery slots. Heavy machinery moves in on fixed build-up slots, often by forklift; plan the stand build around them.

Planning timeline

• 10–12 weeks before: confirm space and brief, start design

• 6–8 weeks before: final design, submit drawings and service orders

• 3–4 weeks before: fabrication and graphics

• Build-up days: on-site installation and handover before opening; dismantling after the show closes
