A multi-stand experience built for engagement

Four Stands. One Unforgettable Show Floor.

Team Tecna had a solid showing at Crufts 2026, once again partnering with Butternut Box to bring their exciting brand to life, and in 2026, we went bigger in every sense.

  • 4 Unique Stands
  • 3152 Engraved Gifts
  • 1 Tonne Edible Merch Given Away

Four Stands.One Vision.

Having delivered three standout stands together in 2025, the brief for this year was clear, scale up, raise the bar, and create something that connected just as powerfully with the humans as it did with their dogs.

We successfully delivered four exhibition stands across the show floor, combining high-impact sales environments with immersive brand activations that stopped people, and their four-legged companions, in their tracks.

Unique Brand Activations

Each of the four stands were built to be unforgettable, attracting attention, and converting footfall into new and repeat customers. Every element was purposeful, from layout and visitor flow to the activations woven through each space.

  • Howl of Fame – a crowd-pleasing, dynamic activation built into every stand. Visitors and their dogs became part of the experience, with photos printed on the spot and added to an ever-growing, ever-changing wall of happy dog faces.
  • Taste Testing Station – Located on every stand, giving dogs and their humans the chance to try the market-leading products Butternut Box were showcasing at the show. The best kind of product demonstration, one that sells itself.
  • Engraving Station – an area offering personalised engravings on accessories, including the iconic giveaway treat tins.

Generous floor space and comfortable seating were built into every stand, creating an environment where visitors felt genuinely invited to stay, explore and connect with the team.

An exclusive environment

The fourth stand was a different proposition entirely, an exclusive, brand-led environment built for existing Butternut Box customers, and it felt like it. Think less trade show, more members’ lounge. Red rope at the entrance, and offering luxury seating in a venue where a seat is seriously sought after.

Inside, members experienced:

  • An exclusive space for existing customers only – a genuine reward for loyalty.
  • Luxury seating – premium comfort in one of the show’s busiest environments.
  • Free treat giveaway and treat pick and mix station.
  • Exclusive merchandise retail space.

What Butternut Box Said

“We chose Tecna primarily for their T3 system, and the sustainability credentials that come with it. As a B Corp, that alignment really matters to us. Seeing the waste from our previous supplier made Tecna’s approach feel like a no-brainer.

What really stands out is how much they care, and how closely their values align with ours. That shows in everything they do, from the four stands they built for us this year to the 20 Christmas chalets they helped us with across 18 locations around the UK.”

My advice to anyone considering working with Tecna? Just do it.”

What this means for other brands

A truly successful exhibition presence goes beyond visibility. It delivers an experience, one that your audience feels, remembers and talks about long after the show closes.

Butternut Box at Crufts 2026 shows exactly what’s possible when bold ideas, responsible design and purposeful activation come together. Four stands. One vision. An unforgettable show floor.
