the Most of Your Trade Show Booth Shipping
Trade show displays are the heart of any trade show, and that means understanding trade show booth shipping. Expo displays displays are designed to be either carried around or shipped via larger crates and set up at trade show and convention locations, delivering your company’s message to event attendees.
However, the process of trade show booth shipping–even for the most portable displays– raises hassles which can be quite difficult to overcome. Since the most remarkable trade show booths also tend to be the most delicate, durable protective display shipping has become even more crucial.
Fortunately, it is not difficult to firmly ship a stand throughout the country; it simply needs a bit of consideration and some cautious packing to guarantee a safe arrival.
Here are some important things to take note for a secure trade show booth shipping experience.
One of the common issues when packing and shipping exhibits is incorrectly tailored packing materials. The most common source of this problem is trying to fit the trade show booth inside different packaging which isn’t precisely intended for them.
Many companies make customized trade show booth packaging intended to fit a specific structure. This type of custom-built fitting is usually made from a mixture of wooden crates, padding and foam.
If you have got a very subtle stand, picking a customized option is possibly the best way to ensure the safety of the displays. There are also some companies that offer protective cases of this purpose for their premade modular units.
As much as possible, invest in custom-made cases for your displays. By doing this, you will have peace of mind knowing that your stuff is going to be safe during the shipping and handling.
A lot of first-time shippers are stunned to learn that bubble wrap isn’t adequate protection when shipping trade show displays. Knowledgeable shippers are aware that when trade show booths are being shipped, they must go to great lengths to protect the precious cargo.
The unit has to be protected from incidents that might crush or damage edges and bend the protective cases. These types of blows are normally prevented by using protected corner pieces, which can be placed on most preexisting corners.
The next thing you must consider is the crash hazard. The level of severity of this hazard depends on the type of portable displays that are being shipped. If you are shipping a high-end booth, the packaging and crating method will be more intense. On the other hand, if you are shipping a simple pop up display, you may be able to simply ship it in a hard case on a pallet.
Using packing material, bubble wrap, and packing foam is one of the best ways to prevent crushing. The best thing about this packing style is that it also offers protection against a strong impact on most sides of the displays. With support and use of packing materials, even the most elusive structure could be cloistered from possible complications.
The last layer of protection is the easiest, yet most commonly overlooked: the unit has to be protected against the protective materials. Bubble wrap and other protective layers can actually damage the surface of some units, which may lead to expensive repairs. Every time you plan to ship your trade show booth, make sure that the actual surface of the trade show booth is protected by a soft material. This paper would not harm the surface and will inhibit any rubbing from becoming occurring.
By following these tips, you will end up with highly secured packaging on your trade show exhibits. However, depending on what unit you have, that packaging may come with a high price tag. If you’re thinking about cutting down the packaging expenses for shipping packages, you may want to ask yourself this: how much am I going to pay for shipping packaging and how much am I going to pay if the displays get damaged? Rather than holding back, use your critical thinking, keep your precious trade show booths safe, and you will be able to use them for many years to come.

I love working with the Beaumont Team; I know any project I work with them on is in good hands! The team is professional, knowledgeable, great at communicating every step of the way and keeping our projects on time. Their flexibility to work within our budget is always appreciated and I know on event day, things will go smoothly with their ready assistance.
James, Jamilyn and the Beaumont crew really came through for us on a last minute booth rental request. We had a show in Atlanta and they turned around the project in less than 3 weeks, handling all logistics, setting us up in a professional looking booth and responding quickly to all our questions along the way. Looking forward to working with Beaumont for future conferences.
James and team worked with us for months on an extensive exhibit booth trade show in multiple locations. They were always accommodating with our requests and always easy to get in touch with no matter the situation. There truly wasn’t anything they couldn’t do!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Beaumont & Co Exhibits; this was our third time using them during the ESRI event in San Diego, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. James and Jamilyn from Beaumont Exhibits were the epitome of professionalism, and their dedication to supplying top-notch service truly made a significant impact on our booth rental experience.
From concept to follow through, the team at Beaumont got it right! I was thrilled with the collaboration to see our vision come to life – all with the an excellent collection of support. James and Karen with great to work with and did well to keep the ball moving and ensure we made it to the finish line promptly.
Our 20FT Linear had a custom die-cut logo and digital interfaces, that deployed in Ottawa at the RIMS Canada Conference. We were a show stopper to say the least. When the time comes for another project, I know where I’ll be going!
We had a very positive experience working with Beaumont in the Vancouver Convention Center. The booth they created for us was designed and installed on time and with the best quality standards. Thanks to Maria and James who helped us step by step before, during and after the process.
Trying to plan a trade show in Brussels while being located in the US was nerve-wracking, but finding Beaumont & Co. and Luciana, made it much easier! Luciana went above and beyond when there were shipping mishaps and made sure that we received our booth on a tight timeline. The quality of the booth was great and easy to put together. They really work to meet your needs.
Beaumont Exhibits. We love the new signage. It shows Halifax beautifully.
Just outstanding work all week guys. As always.
The Exhibit Area has been a hit all conference long, thanks to our wonderful partner Beaumont Exhibits, who has made sure our booths and signage have been on point with their top-notch work. Thank you!
“There is nothing that compares to the Beaumont Exhibits booth system; it will be in my mind or even should be the industry standard. Our booth was revered by all who came upon it. In fact, a comment I heard from a passerby was “Now that’s a booth!” comparing it to all the thousands of other booths at the Las Vegas AHR convention”
“MetOcean Telematics appreciates working with Beaumont Exhibits for our trade show needs. Beaumont Exhibits understands the complex nuisances of the industries in which we do business and has played an important role in helping us present our products to clients worldwide.”

We cater to some of the world’s largest defense contractors in the world. We have no hesitations in recommending Beaumont & Co. to them as a provider of quality display materials. The feedback we received has been most positive and we are looking forward to a long relationship with James and Sean as they grow their business here in Atlantic Canada and beyond.”
“Beaumont & Co. was great to deal with in that they incorporated all our design suggestions in a timely fashion and their superior customer service made the this process very relaxed and straightforward. The final products turned out nicely and to our satisfaction – the displays look professional and high-quality. The banner’s LED component allows us to stand out at trade shows/career fairs. They went the extra mile and set-up the display for us on two separate occasions which was very much appreciated. They have also responded to additional follow-up queries related to the products. All in all, we are quite happy with the end product and experience on a whole.”
