How to save money and time with T3 Fabframe

Based in the North of England, Calrec is the major supplier of audio mixing consoles to the UK broadcast sector and is a major exporter to markets in North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim.

Their exhibition plan called for a ‘big’ look with a stand that could be reconfigured for a variety of events and that would be efficient to transport and to install.

After looking at a number of modular systems, Bell Stone Associates decided on T3 Fabframe as the best answer to Calrec’s requirements.

This is why Bell Stone chose the T3 Fabframe system and why their client is so pleased with the result;

"Using T3 Fabframe means than Calrec will save 80% of their exhibition costs over the next 3 years!"

"On their exhibition stand in Las Vegas earlier this year they saved 70% of their labour cost and 86% on shipping and drayage."

These figures were supplied by the client based on a comparison with a conventional custom-built stand.

How have Bell Stone been able to save their client so much?

"T3 Fabframe is easy and quick to install; at most of the events, Calrec were able to use their own staff to build and dismantle the stand, even one as complex and powerful as the one illustrated."

"3 men installed the stand in Las Vegas in just 2 days, using just 18.5 hours of union labour, saving them 70% in expected labour costs!"

"The stand was dismantled, packed and was ready to ship in just 4 hours!"

"T3fabframe packs down into small volume. The entire stand (including structure, fabric graphics, lights and worktops) packs down into just one flight case of less than 2.5 cubic metres volume, weighing only 650 kilos!"

"This saved them 86% of their shipping and drayage."

T3 Fabframe’s versatility is extraordinary; Calrec are looking to use the material for the next 3 years in many different configurations. Recent examples are the stand that they installed at the RAI in Amsterdam and the prestige installation at Fountain Studios.
