Pricing Guide
What Does an Exhibition Stall Cost in Pakistan?
A realistic breakdown of what drives exhibition stall pricing — size, materials, design complexity, lighting, transport, venue and reuse — so you can budget before requesting a quote.
Custom build
The short answer
PKR 50,000 to PKR 500,000+, Depending on Scope
Most exhibition stalls in Pakistan cost somewhere between PKR 50,000 and PKR 500,000. A small modular corner stand for a regional fair sits at the lower end. A large custom island stand or a multi-storey structure with premium finishes sits at the upper end or beyond.
Pricing isn't fixed because no two booths are the same — the factors below are what actually move the number up or down.
Cost factors
What Actually Drives the Price
Seven factors account for most of the difference between a budget stand and a flagship build — most of them are decided during exhibition stall design and locked in once exhibition stall fabrication begins.
Booth Size
The single biggest driver — a 3x3 corner stand and a 6x6 island stand aren't in the same price range.
Structural Complexity
Single-storey vs multi-storey, straight walls vs curved forms, open vs enclosed meeting rooms — complexity adds engineering and build time.
Materials & Finishes
Laminate and standard paint cost less than veneer, brass detailing or premium fabric panels.
Lighting & AV
Basic spot lighting is inexpensive; custom-lit displays, LED walls and screen integration add cost quickly.
Transport & Venue
Venue access rules, move-in windows and distance from our Karachi office affect logistics cost.
Timeline Urgency
A standard 15-day-to-a-month schedule costs less than a rushed build needing overtime production.
Custom vs Modular: Different Cost Curves
A one-off custom stall is usually cheaper the first time you exhibit, since there's no reusable frame to invest in upfront. A modular system costs more initially — commonly PKR 150,000–500,000 depending on size — but that cost is spread across every future show, since only graphics and minor updates need reproducing after the first build.
If you exhibit at three or more shows a year, a modular system usually works out cheaper per show. If it's a one-time exhibition, a custom stall is often the more cost-effective choice. See our modular exhibition booths page for more detail.
Typical ranges
Rough Price Bands by Booth Size
These are general starting ranges, not fixed quotes, and they match the size table in our Karachi stall cost guide. Confirm your specific booth through our contact page.
Compact Stand (3m x 3m)
Roughly PKR 50,000–150,000 — about 9 sqm, standard materials and basic lighting. Suits startups and single-product launches.
Mid-Size Stall (3m x 6m)
Roughly PKR 150,000–280,000 — about 18 sqm with custom branding and upgraded lighting. Our fixed-spec 6x3 island booth starts from PKR 220,000, inside this band.
Large Stall (6m x 6m)
Roughly PKR 280,000–420,000 — about 36 sqm, usually two open sides, with zoned display and meeting areas and premium finishes.
Flagship or Two-Storey (6m x 9m+)
PKR 420,000–500,000+ — large island and multi-storey structures with a private upper meeting area, premium materials and AV integration.
Cost by city
Does Cost Vary by City?
The base fabrication cost is the same nationwide — what changes is transport, move-in windows and hall-specific structural rules. If you exhibit several times a year, weigh up reusable systems in our custom vs modular stalls guide, and see a line-by-line example in the Karachi cost breakdown.
Karachi
Expo Center Karachi's tighter move-in windows can add a little transport and labour cost versus a venue with a longer access slot. See full pricing detail on our exhibition stand builders in Karachi page.
Lahore
Two-storey and full island builds are common at Expo Centre Lahore, which adds structural cost versus a standard single-storey stand. See full pricing detail on our Lahore exhibition stall page.
Islamabad
Pak-China Friendship Centre's more formal, government- and corporate-facing exhibitor mix pushes quotes toward a higher finish level than a standard trade-fair hall. See full pricing detail on our Islamabad exhibition stall page.
Multan
Multan bookings run mostly at hotels and convention spaces rather than one fixed hall, so venue type affects flooring and anchoring cost as much as size does. See full pricing detail on our Multan exhibition stall page.
Faisalabad
Machinery and textile-sampling stalls need reinforced flooring and open display counters, which adds cost versus a standard retail-style stand. See full pricing detail on our Faisalabad exhibition stall page.
Bahawalpur
Outdoor agricultural fairground sites need weatherproofing and reinforced anchoring that an indoor hotel-hall booking doesn't. See full pricing detail on our Bahawalpur exhibition stall page.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Most exhibition stalls in Pakistan cost between PKR 50,000 and PKR 500,000. A small modular corner stand sits at the lower end; a large custom or multi-storey island booth sits at the upper end or beyond.
Per show, often yes for repeat exhibitors — but the first build can cost more upfront than a simple custom stand. Modular systems pay off once reused across three or more shows.
Booth size, structural complexity (especially multi-storey builds), premium materials and finishes, custom lighting and AV, and urgent timelines that require overtime production.
