Wow! My banner added new life to my exhibition. The quality of the print was great and the cool bag that the pieces came in made it even more professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are trade show shipping cases used for? +

Trade show shipping cases are purpose-built containers designed to protect display components during transport between events. They are used to safely move 10 and 20 foot display kits. Our hard shipping case is a well-designed case that reduces the risk of scratches, dents, and fabric damage that can occur during freight handling, airline baggage, or ground shipping across multiple event cycles.

What types of display components can be stored in a trade show shipping case? +

Most trade show shipping cases are sized and configured to hold displays such as media walls, fabric pop-up, 3D wallbox, 3D wallbox with LED and also 10 to 20 foot display kits.

Are trade show shipping cases airline friendly? +

Many trade show shipping cases are designed with airline travel in mind, featuring lightweight construction and dimensions that comply with standard checked baggage or cargo requirements. Wheeled cases with telescoping handles are particularly popular for exhibitors who fly to events regularly. Always verify the dimensions and weight of your packed case against the airline's freight or checked baggage policies before departure to avoid unexpected fees or handling issues.

Can I reuse the same shipping case across multiple events? +

Yes. Trade show shipping cases are built for repeated use across an entire event season and beyond. Durable outer shells, reinforced corners, and quality latching systems are standard features that hold up to the wear of frequent loading, transport, and unpacking. Reusing the same case across multiple shows also keeps your logistics costs predictable and reduces the time spent repacking between events.

How much do trade show shipping cases typically weigh when packed? +

Packed weight varies depending on the display system inside.

What is the difference between a shipping case and a carrying bag for trade show displays? +

Carrying bags are soft-sided and best suited for lightweight, compact displays that travel by car or checked luggage. Shipping cases are typically hard-sided or semi-rigid, offering superior impact protection for heavier or more fragile components that move through freight or cargo systems.

Do trade show shipping cases come with a warranty? +

Backdropsource backs its products with a 1-year product warranty, which applies to display hardware and accessories ordered through our catalog.

Can I use a trade show shipping case to store my display between events? +

Absolutely. A quality shipping case doubles as a long-term storage solution between event cycles. Storing your fabric graphics and frame components inside the case keeps them protected from dust, moisture, and accidental damage in a warehouse or storage room.
