Exhibition Stand Builder in Denmark

Exhibiting in Denmark: venues, fairs and stand rules

Short answer: Denmark's main exhibition venues are Bella Center Copenhagen and MCH Messecenter Herning. At MCH the general stand height is 300 cm, electrics and ceiling rigging are done only by MCH, and styrofoam is banned; at Bella Center double-deck or heavy stands need technical drawings 12 weeks before the show and decorative materials must be fire class B. VAV Grup builds custom stands in Istanbul to these rules.

Venue rules that shape your stand design in Denmark

Custom stands fail approval most often on height, fire class of materials, rigging and electrics. These are the rules the venues publish:

Bella Center Copenhagen

• Stand height is set per event; structures over 1 m need approval unless the builder holds certification.
• Multi-level or heavy-load builds: application with technical drawings and material details 12 weeks before the event.
• Decorative materials fire class B; floor coverings Dfl-s1 (EN 13501) or equivalent.
• Wire rigging and mounting of hanging items is done only by Bella Center staff, with at least 2 wires per item.
• Double-deck stands: stairs at least 1.3 m wide, maximum 49 persons on the upper level, replacement sprinkler cover required.

MCH Messecenter Herning

• General maximum height 300 cm; higher only with written agreement from MCH's technical drawing department.
• Only fire-resistant materials may cover stands; banners must be fire-approved; styrofoam is banned.
• Electrical installations and outlets are carried out by MCH's technicians.
• Ceiling mounting may only be carried out by MCH.

Rules can differ per show: the organiser's exhibitor manual for your fair always takes precedence. We read that manual before the first design sketch, not after.

Shipping a stand from Istanbul to Denmark

Customs framework: Türkiye and the EU have been in a customs union for industrial goods since 31 December 1995 (Decision 1/95). Stand materials made in Istanbul therefore move into Denmark without customs duty when they travel with an A.TR movement certificate. Since 8 July 2024 EU member states accept A.TR certificates issued electronically with a QR code. (European Commission – EU–Türkiye trade; European Commission – electronic A.TR (2024))

Exhibits that go back home: Products you display and take back to Türkiye can travel on an ATA Carnet (temporary admission for goods at fairs and exhibitions). Consumables and stand parts that stay or are used up on site cannot go on a carnet; they are declared separately. We confirm the right document set with the customs broker for each shipment. (TOBB – ATA Carnet FAQ; EU Access2Markets – ATA Carnet)

Planning timeline for a custom stand in Denmark

1. 16–12 weeks before: book space, send us the floor plan and stand number; we propose a design and budget.
2. 12–8 weeks before: final design, structural details for double-deck or rigged elements, material list with fire certificates.
3. Drawing deadline (set by the venue/organiser – see the rules above): submit stand drawings for approval; order electricity, rigging and other venue-reserved services.
4. 4–2 weeks before: production and pre-assembly in our Istanbul factory, then road or sea freight with the customs documents.
5. Build-up days: installation, electrical connection by the venue's contractor, final check with you before opening.
6. After the show: dismantling, return shipment or storage of reusable parts.

How VAV Grup delivers stands here

We are an independent stand contractor, not an official venue supplier. Your stand is designed and manufactured in Europe – in our factory on the European side of Istanbul – and shipped to Denmark; on site, installation is coordinated with the services the venue reserves for itself (mains electricity, rigging, sometimes floor plans). One project lead keeps the drawings, material certificates, transport and build-up schedule in one plan. Send the fair name, hall and stand number, stand size and deadline and we reply with a project-specific scope and quotation.
