Hard walls, booth doors, curved elements and platforms for custom exhibits — built to your drawing in Fontanelle, near Venice, packed for export and shipped to your exhibit house, the advance warehouse or the show site. We already build for US shows: the Gruppo Romani booth at Coverings 2026 in Las Vegas stood on our panels.
A honeycomb panel (also called a hollow-core or torsion-box panel) is a finished wall element: a frame in knot-free, finger-jointed spruce, a perforated paper honeycomb core and two MDF skins bonded under press. It is flat, rigid and a fraction of the weight of a solid MDF or plywood wall of the same size. It joins to the next panel with alignment strips and I·L·T·X steel connectors, and after the show it is stacked, crated and stored for the next build.
In a US show that weight matters twice. Material handling (drayage) is billed by weight — per hundredweight — by the general service contractor, both into and out of the hall, so every pound you do not ship is a cost you do not pay. And a lighter wall is a faster wall: fewer people to lift it, less time on the I&D crew's clock. The panels arrive raw (ready for paint, vinyl or fabric), white laminated, black laminated or lacquered in any RAL color.
| Metric (stock) | Imperial | Typical US use |
|---|---|---|
| 2,500 × 1,000 mm | 8 ft 2 in × 39.4 in | Inline back walls — trim to 8 ft (2,440 mm) where the show caps height at 8 ft |
| 3,000 × 1,000 mm | 9 ft 10 in × 39.4 in | Peninsula walls, storage rooms |
| 3,500 × 1,000 mm | 11 ft 6 in × 39.4 in | Island walls, header structures |
| 4,000 × 1,000 mm | 13 ft 1 in × 39.4 in | Island booths, tall brand walls |
| 5,000 × 1,000 mm | 16 ft 5 in × 39.4 in | Island booths where the show allows 16 ft or more |
| Custom, up to 1,200 mm wide | Any length × up to 47.2 in | Cut to your 10 ft module or drawing — no surcharge |
Most US shows follow the IAEE display guidelines, which cap the back wall of an inline booth at 8 ft. A 2,500 mm stock panel is 8 ft 2 in — two inches too tall. Tell us the booth type and we cut to 2,440 mm, or to whatever the exhibitor manual allows. The same goes for widths: a 10 ft booth module is 3,048 mm, so three 1,016 mm (40 in) panels close it exactly. Custom sizes cost the same as stock sizes, from a single piece, up to 1,200 mm (47.2 in) wide and 6,000 mm (19 ft 8 in) long.
Las Vegas Convention Center, Venetian Expo, Mandalay Bay: CES, NAB Show, SEMA, World of Concrete — and Coverings 2026, where our panels stood.
Orange County Convention Center: Coverings from 2027 to 2029, the PGA Show, IAAPA Expo — and Florida humidity to plan for.
McCormick Place: National Restaurant Association Show, IMTS, RSNA — and some of the most detailed fire rules in the country.
Javits Center: tight dock slots, tight schedules and a strong case for light, pre-numbered walls.
Incoterms, ocean vs air, ISF, ATA Carnet, ISPM 15, duties and the advance warehouse — in plain English.
Atlanta, Houston, San Diego, Anaheim, Boston, Dallas: the product and the paperwork are the same. Send the show name and the move-in date.
In the United States, booth construction rules are set by the local fire authority and published in each show's exhibitor manual. The common thread: construction materials must be flame retardant, and a certificate of flame retardancy should be kept at the booth so the fire marshal does not have to test material on site.
Our fire-rated panels carry the European classification B-s1,d0 under EN 13501-1 (and Italian Class 1), with the MDF supplier's certificate and our declaration of conformity on every delivery. That is a European test system, not a US test report. So we send the documents before the order ships, you or your general service contractor check them against the show's fire regulations, and if the fire marshal asks for something else we tell you honestly, at quote stage, what we can and cannot provide. More on the European side in our fire rating guide.
Yes. We have already built for US shows — the Gruppo Romani booth at Coverings 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center stood on our panels — and we pack every export order in numbered crates or pallets with a packing list per piece.
Yes. Every panel is cut to size at the same price as a stock panel, from a single piece: 8 ft inline walls, 40 in widths for a 10 ft module, or any size on your drawing, up to 47.2 in wide and 19 ft 8 in long.
Because a finished, flat, light panel saves shop time before the show, drayage cost at the show (billed by weight) and storage space after it, and it can be reused show after show. For a first stock that will stay in the US, ocean freight keeps the landed cost reasonable.
Our fire-rated panels are classified B-s1,d0 under the European standard EN 13501-1. US rules are set per venue and per show, so we send the documentation before shipping for you or your general service contractor to check, and tell you at quote stage if a requirement falls outside what we can document.
Production takes 2–3 working days from stock, 7 days for custom sizes and 10–12 days for RAL lacquered finishes. Freight adds the transit time: weeks by ocean, days by air. Send us the move-in date and we plan backwards from it.
No — installation is done by your exhibit house or the I&D contractor on site. We number every piece to the drawing and supply the connectors and assembly instructions so the crew builds it in order.
Send us the drawing, the show name and the move-in date: we reply the same day (Italian time) with a written quote in English.
