Best Practices For Transporting Trade Show Displays

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Transporting your trade show display doesn’t involve rocket science, but it isn’t something you want to skimp on either. It does take a bit of planning and coordination. Why do you need to be so careful? That is because you want to make sure all components of your trade show display needs to arrive at the event on time. This literally means that the shipping and delivery of trade show displays has to be choreographed like it is a ballet. Hiring a company is a great thing to do, but not every exhibitor is in the position to be able to take on such an investment. Yes, it is convenient, but it takes time to reach the capacity to be able to enjoy such a service. That means the alternative solution is to transport it yourself.

As for the best transport practices, you need to ensure that everything is secure in the back of the truck. You do not want anything being loose or the sharpest of turns will cause everything to thrash around. This is what causes displays to become broken during transport. So what you need to do is invest in straps. When using something such as a moving truck, there are already straps in the truck that allow you to strap items to the walls. You can place smaller items in boxes and strap those down as well. You want to make sure that everything is secure or you’re going to arrive at your trade show with a broken display. It would be terrible to arrive to your destination and find that you can’t let your display shine to the fullest. That is why you need to be mindful of what vehicle you are transporting your display in and how secure it is when you do.
