Trade show booth care is a special treatment to extend the life of the components, because of the time and energy put into the design and production of it, as well as the monetary investment. This means that every piece of it looks nearly new every time it’s on display. How you take care of this investment is very important, especially when it’s being used several times a year, or more.

Storage

All storage is not created equal. Direct sunlight and humidity can damage the graphics, so leaving your trade show booth exposed to the elements is not an option. A warehouse can be hazardous to your display’s health, especially if it’s not a temperature controlled environment.

The ideal storage of your booth is with a company that builds them, such as ADM2 Services. Because they understand what your booth needs, they become the custodians of your investment. And, they can ship it anywhere.

Travel

How you store your booth will affect how it travels. Specialty built cases offer better protection when your trade show booth travels from one side of the country to the other. These cases are made to be air tight. Plus, the booth materials need to fit snugly, so they don’t move or get jostled during shipping. Any movement can cause scratches or damage fragile parts. And, remember that the cargo hold in a plane can be as unforgiving as a trailer.

Set up and Dismantling

Always take inventory of the crates, cases, boxes, and individual pieces prior to shipping. Proper labeling is very important. You may also want to inspect the booth before shipping. The same amount of care is needed when dismantling the booth. Everything should fit perfectly in place, as it had when it left the storage facility.
