Drop, Ring or Box Banners
Drop, Ring or Box Banners
At the NEC, you can hang Drop, Ring, or Box Banners to elevate your exhibition space.
To do this, specific procedures need to be followed to ensure the banner is properly suspended from the ceiling above your stand.
Get Permission
- All hanging banners must be approved by UKGE with regard to their position, size, and content.
- Exhibitors wishing to use hanging banners are required to pay a flying fee to UK Games Expo. Details of the prices can be found in the Exhibitor Pack or on the website.
- If you place a banner order directly with the NEC, you must obtain permission from UKGE; otherwise, the banner will not be displayed.
- The size of the banner must fit completely above your stand's footprint and must not extend over other exhibitors' stands.
- Please note that this fee does not apply to roll-up or pull-up banners.

Rigging the Banner
The NEC charges a rigging fee for hanging your banner, and this fee varies based on the construction of your banner or other hanging setups. To calculate the cost, please contact: simon.lane@thenec.co.uk for assistance and a quote.
Additionally, we have negotiated a special rate for drop banners with the NEC. This offer applies to banners up to 6m x 2.4m in size.
For pricing information, please reach out to production@ukgamesexpo.co.uk.
Banner Removal
After the show, the NEC will remove all banners. Banners on hoists will be lowered and taken down during the de-rigging process. PVC banners can be picked up within 10 days after the show. Exhibitors have the option to collect their banners themselves, or, by prior arrangement, UKGE can collect and store them for a fee.
Banner Storage
If you wish UKGE to collect your PVC banner, store it and return it to the NEC for the following year’s show, please contact: production@ukgamesexpo.co.uk for a price and to agree to arrangements for collection and storage.
If you want to use the banner during the year, you may collect it from the UKGE warehouse at your own cost at a pre-arranged time by contacting:
