Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our modular display kits.
🧱 What is a modular artist booth kit?
A modular artist booth kit is a set of interlocking frosted panels and connectors that snap together by hand, with no tools, to build display walls, shelves, and cubes for artist alley tables, convention booths, and markets. You arrange the panels to suit your space, then take it apart and rebuild it differently at your next event. Our kits are designed around a standard 180 cm / 6 ft table and can expand to cover a corner or a full booth.
1️⃣ Do you sell the parts individually?
We sell complete kits rather than individual parts, because each kit is designed to work as a whole. The panel and connector counts are matched, with a few spares included, so you can build a range of structures with confidence and keep going if a piece is ever lost or damaged. These kits are built to last for years, and if we ever change a colour you will still have plenty to keep building with.
📏 What size tables or booths do your kits fit?
The whole system is built around standard convention tables. Every kit makes the most of a full 180 cm / 6 ft table, and Shapeshift Max can cover a corner, a double 360 cm / 12 ft setup, or a full convention exhibitor booth.
📐 What panel sizes are available?
We offer four main panel shapes: Squares (35 x 35 cm / 13.78 x 13.78 in), Hinged Squares or Doors (35 x 35 cm / 13.78 x 13.78 in), Half Squares (35 x 17.5 cm / 13.78 x 6.89 in), and Triangles (35 x 35 cm / 13.78 x 13.78 in sides). The square panels are the standard building block, while the half, hinged, and triangle panels add creative versatility.
🧬 What are the panels and accessories made from?
Our modular cube panels are made from high quality frosted polypropylene (PP) plastic. They are lightweight yet durable, translucent so they let light through, and available in 19 or more colours. The connectors are made from sturdy ABS plastic, and our foldable hooks are made from PLA filament.
✨ Are these panels original designs and colours, or bought wholesale?
They are entirely our own. We are the original creators of this system, and everything from our panel shapes to our exclusive colours is designed by us and sold only by us. We do not dropship and we do not resell generic factory stock, so when you buy a kit you are getting a display setup you cannot find anywhere else.
⚖️ How much weight can these setups hold?
Each modular cube can hold up to 10 kg / 22.05 lbs when built correctly.
🧩 Are the panels compatible across different kits?
Yes. Every panel and connector is cross compatible, so you can mix and match kits or combine two kits for a larger setup. The system is designed to grow with you, from half a table to a full or double table space, all with one kit.
📦 What's included in each kit?
Each kit includes frosted panels, connectors, and a setup guide. Larger kits add bonus accessories such as foldable clip hooks and a carry tote.
⚡ How long does setup take?
Most artists have their kit fully set up in under 30 minutes, with no tools and no zip ties. You simply snap the connectors into the panels and stack. The more you do it, the faster it gets. There is also an optional mallet if you want to lock pieces firmly in place while keeping it easy on your hands.
🖼️ How do I hang prints, posters, and other art on the panels?
The panels are built for display. Our foldable clip hooks snap onto the panels wherever you need them, so you can hang prints, posters, banners, and bags, and rearrange them as your layout changes. Because the panels also stack into cubes, you can create raised shelves for books, merchandise, and other items.
🛡️ Are the panels sturdy enough to hold my display?
Yes. When built correctly, each modular cube holds up to 10 kg / 22.05 lbs, which is plenty for prints, books, and merchandise. The connectors lock the panels into a rigid structure, and you can use the optional mallet to seat each joint firmly. Wider and stacked layouts add even more stability.
✈️ Can I travel with this?
Yes. The panels stack completely flat, and larger kits fit in checked luggage. If you need to, you can even take part of your panels as carry on, since the 35 x 35 cm panels and accessories fit within the usual 56 x 36 x 23 cm carry on allowance.
♻️ Are the kits reusable and worth the investment?
That is the whole idea. One kit reconfigures into different layouts for different events, sets up in minutes, and is built to last for years, so the cost is spread across many conventions rather than a single weekend. You can also expand the same kit over time instead of buying a new display.
🌐 Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship our modular booth kits worldwide using a range of shipping carriers.
💰 Do you offer any shipping discounts?
Yes. We offer shipping discounts of 10 to 100 percent for a number of countries. The discount usually depends on your total cart value and is applied automatically at checkout.
🚚 Which shipping carriers do you use?
We partner with global carriers so your order arrives safely. Within Australia we mainly use Australia Post and TNT. For international orders we use FedEx Express for fast, reliable delivery.
🕰️ What are the usual processing times for orders?
All orders ship from Sydney, Australia, and are usually processed within 1 to 3 business days. During peak periods such as convention season, or for larger or more complex kits, processing can take longer. Processing times are estimates only, and delays can occur due to order volume, production schedules, or circumstances outside our control. Orders are not processed or dispatched on weekends or Australian public holidays.
If you have an urgent convention, market, or artist alley event coming up, please contact us before ordering so we can advise whether delivery is likely in time.
🚀 How long does shipping usually take?
We know convention deadlines are tight. Typical shipping times are: Australia metro 2 to 5 business days, Australia regional 5 to 10 business days, Australia rural 7 to 12 business days, United States 3 to 5 business days, and the rest of the world 7 to 21 business days.
Shipping timeframes are estimates only. We use reliable carriers, but delays outside our control can happen. You can find more details in our Shipping Policy.
🏦 Will I have to pay customs duties or import taxes?
We are a business based in Sydney, Australia, and operate under Australian tax law.
For Australian customers, no duties or extra taxes apply, and all prices include GST. For United States customers, we ship via FedEx with duties prepaid, so the product price and duties you pay at checkout are final, with no surprise bills on delivery. For all other international customers, your order may be subject to local VAT, GST, or import duties set by your country's customs office, and these fees are the responsibility of the recipient.
📦 Why are the shipping costs high?
Our kits are bulky. The individual pieces are light, but together they stack up into a large, heavy parcel. Some kits weigh 13 to 21 kg / 28.7 to 46.3 lbs and ship in large boxes, and that weight and size is what drives the cost.
We also choose well insured, reliable carriers on purpose. Your event dates matter, so we use channels that reduce the risk of delays, loss, or panels being warped or damaged by budget couriers, giving your order the best chance of arriving in good condition and on time.
🔍 Can I track my order?
Yes. All orders are sent with track and trace services, and you will receive a tracking link by email as soon as your order is on its way.
↩️ What's your return policy?
If your kit arrives damaged or you are not happy, reach out to our team and we will sort it out, because we stand behind every product we make.
We do not accept returns for change of mind, but faulty or damaged items are always replaced. Please report any fault within 2 days of delivery and include photos of the damaged packaging and items. You can find more details in our Return and Refund Policy.
