How it works

Storage, step by step

  1. 01

    Pick show-to-show or monthly

    Show-to-show storage holds your booth near the show for its next edition; monthly storage keeps it in a warehouse between shows.

  2. 02

    Know the billing unit

    Show contractors bill by weight (per cwt or per pound) with minimums; fulfillment warehouses often bill per pallet per month.

  3. 03

    Ask for inventory and refurbishment

    Exhibit houses photograph and catalogue each piece and refresh it before the next show, so nothing arrives damaged or missing.

  4. 04

    Store near your shows

    A builder with a warehouse near the halls you use most cuts freight on every show.
