Expo Centre Lahore Stall Design & Cost Guide
What actually drives stall cost at Expo Centre Lahore, the hall handover basics to plan around, and exactly what to send your fabricator before you book a build slot.
What Drives Stall Cost At Expo Centre Lahore?
Stall cost at Expo Centre Lahore is driven by the same factors as anywhere else in Pakistan — booth size, shell scheme vs custom build, materials and finish, AV and lighting, and logistics — plus one Lahore-specific line item: transport and crew travel from a fabricator's workshop to the venue.
There isn't a separate "Expo Centre Lahore price list" — a 3x3m shell-scheme booth and a fully custom island stand cost fundamentally different amounts no matter which hall they're built in. What venue you're in changes logistics and timing, not the underlying build math. For the actual size-by-size figures, see our exhibition stall cost guide — this page focuses on what's specific to building at this venue.
Planning Around Peak Exhibition Seasons
Expo Centre Lahore hosts trade fairs and consumer exhibitions throughout the year, and the busiest periods often see several shows booked close together. Check the venue's published calendar and your organiser's schedule early, because hall dates drive your fabrication timeline.
Back-to-back bookings are common in peak season, and they have a direct effect on fabrication timing: hall access, loading-dock slots and fabricator availability all get tighter the closer you get to a busy week. If your show falls in or near a packed month, book your fabricator and confirm your hall handover slot earlier rather than later.
Shell Scheme vs Custom Stall At This Venue
Shell Scheme
- Faster to install during a tight move-in window
- Lower cost, standard fascia and walling
- Works well for a first show or a smaller in-line booth
- Limited design flexibility
Custom Stall
- Full control over layout, structure and branding
- Needs a longer lead time for design sign-off and build
- Suits corner, peninsula or island stands
- Higher cost, higher visual impact
Venue & Handover Basics
- Expo Centre Lahore is on Abdul Haque Road, Johar Town, Lahore — a purpose-built convention centre operating since 2010, managed by Pakistan Expo Centres Limited.
- Every show has its own exhibitor manual from the organiser, covering hall assignment, move-in/move-out windows, loading-dock access and any structural or fire-safety rules for that specific event — always work from that manual, not general assumptions.
- Our Lahore office and workshop are in Johar Town, close to the venue, which keeps move-in coordination and last-minute on-site adjustments straightforward.
- Floor load limits, rigging points and power supply vary by hall and by show — confirm these with the organiser's technical team before finalising a heavy or hanging structure.
Lead Times — How Early To Book
4+ Weeks Out
Best time to start a large or complex custom stall — extra room for design sign-off, procurement and a full build without rushing.
2–3 Weeks Out
Reasonable minimum once the design is approved, from design approval to installation for most stalls.
Peak Season
In a busy month at the venue, book earlier than usual — fabrication slots and hall access both tighten up.
Under 2 Weeks
Still workable for a shell scheme or smaller modular booth — talk to us early so we can confirm what's realistic.
What To Send Your Fabricator Before Hall Handover
- Confirmed hall number and stand/booth number
- The exhibitor manual issued by the show organiser
- Your allocated move-in and move-out time slots
- Final floor plan with dimensions and any neighbouring-stand constraints
- Brand assets — logo files, brand colours, and any graphics you need printed
The earlier your fabricator has all five of these, the less has to get resolved on-site during build-up — which matters even more in a week when the venue has back-to-back shows.
Expo Centre Lahore FAQs
How much does a stall at Expo Centre Lahore cost?
The same cost drivers apply as anywhere else in Pakistan — booth size, shell scheme vs custom build, materials and graphics, AV, and logistics to the venue. As a starting reference, a 10x10 ft booth typically starts from around PKR 94,499, built at our Lahore workshop, so no inter-city transport is added. See our exhibition stall cost guide for a full breakdown by size and booth type.
How early should I book a fabricator for Expo Centre Lahore?
As a general rule, 2 to 3 weeks ahead is a reasonable minimum for a stall once the design is approved, with more time for large or complex builds that need extra design sign-off and procurement. Peak months at Expo Centre Lahore tend to be busy, so booking earlier gives more flexibility on both fabrication slots and hall move-in timing.
What is Expo Centre Lahore's address?
Expo Centre Lahore is at Abdul Haque Road, Johar Town, Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan, in the Trade Centre Commercial Area of Johar Town Phase 2. It's operated by Pakistan Expo Centres Limited.
Should I use a shell scheme or a custom stall at Expo Centre Lahore?
A shell scheme is faster to install and usually cheaper, and works well for a first-time or smaller in-line booth. A custom stall costs more and needs a longer lead time, but gives full control over layout, branding and structure — worth it once your booth is a corner, peninsula or island space, or your brand needs a distinct look on a crowded show floor.
What should I send my fabricator before hall handover at Expo Centre Lahore?
At minimum: your confirmed hall number and stand number, the exhibitor manual issued by the show organiser, your allocated move-in and move-out slots, your final floor plan with dimensions, and your brand assets (logo files, brand colours, any required graphics). The earlier your fabricator has these, the less that has to be resolved on-site during build-up.
