Trade Show Shipping Containers and Their Features

When choosing the right trade show shipping containers for your equipment, you want to consider the many features to choose from.

Trade Show Cases with Wheels

Shipping cases outfitted with inline wheels make it much easier and more convenient to transport your displays and equipment. Most of the cases are equipped with wheels, depending on the size of the case.

Plastic Shipping Cases

A plastic shipping case is a good choice because they are durable and reusable and can safeguard some of your most delicate and vulnerable trade show items, such as your rolled graphics or display hardware. They are also ideal for transporting banner stands, accessories, and other full display systems.

An OCB-2 Case, for example, can fit one premium or three smaller banner stands per case. The cases are made from all recyclable materials, come in variable heights, and have protective foam padding to keep the contents safe and secure.

Larger Shipping Containers

Larger reusable shipping containers or tubs are good for holding a ton of trade show accessories and equipment. Many come with caster wheels for easy transport and maneuverability. They are also typically considered general purpose shipping containers and are often made of molded plastic and can hold and protect your exhibit panels and other accessories and equipment.

Buckles and Straps

Some smaller cases are outfitted with buckles and straps that are perfect for transporting and storing your panels, graphics, and anything else that needs to be packed flat. They have a molded end panel design and adds strength without any steel corners. You can find custom lengths and depths and also built-in wheels. The customization options make it much easier to find exactly what you need.

Trade Show Shipping Container FAQ

Still have questions about how to find the right trade show shipping containers?

What are the benefits of trade show booth shipping containers?

Trade show shipping containers are incredibly versatile and functional. They make it easier to transport and ship your graphic panels, equipment, and other accessories to and from trade show events and offer you a lot in the way of durability and security.

Should you integrate a shipping container into your trade show display?

If you want to ensure that your trade show exhibit remains consistent with the rest of the marketing you are employing at the trade show, then it does make sense to integrate a shipping container into your trade show display if you have used it before. The container can go a long way in reinforcing your brand message. It is also a fully customizable, functional, and cost-effective way to create a more stunning display that fits within your budget.

Should you choose a standard-sized shipping container or a custom size?

The answer to this question depends on a number of factors. For example, do you need the shipping container for on-site storage, or do you need a more custom solution? What kind of equipment do you need to put into the containers? Will you need a protective liner if you will be shipping graphic panels?

Consider your needs and what you need the shipping containers to hold, and that will help you determine if you can go with a standard size or if you will need to customize the shipping cases.
