On-Site Custom Crating for Businesses and Exhibitors

Provide the target dispatch date and any working-hour limits. Ask the crate provider to confirm the time needed for measurement, material preparation and packing. On-site work does not automatically mean immediate or same-day service.

Crates of Las Vegas describes on-location crating. Confirm availability and the proposed scope for your location. Arrange carrier collection around agreed milestones, with a contact who can coordinate if the packing or access situation changes.

Packing at the current location may avoid an extra unprotected transport leg. The item may still need to be repositioned, placed on a base or moved through a restricted exit after closure.

Share photographs and access measurements with the provider. Have the appropriate qualified handlers confirm lifting and loading arrangements. Identify who disconnects equipment or prepares fragile components before the crew arrives; those tasks should not be assumed to be included in crating.

Provide complete item dimensions, weight, orientation and approved support points. Include manufacturer instructions for equipment or any specialist requirements for artwork. Explain which accessories travel with the item and how the recipient will unpack it.

The design should allow for the protective materials and handling method. Ask whether any measuring or preparation needs to happen before the on-site work window. Building at the item’s location does not remove the need for an agreed specification.

An exhibit venue may have rules about labor, working areas, equipment access and freight removal. Confirm the event-specific requirements with the organizer or appointed service provider rather than assuming any crating crew may work anywhere on the floor.

• Check permitted working hours and access credentials.
• Confirm where crate materials can be staged.
• Identify the responsible booth or property contact.
• Coordinate empty storage or return packaging.
• Arrange collection within the approved freight schedule.

Packing immediately after an event should be treated as a confirmed arrangement, not a universal service promise.

Ask the provider to explain the proposed supports, interior materials and handling limits. For an international route, confirm applicable ISPM 15 treatment and marking before the job begins.

If the crate will be reused, include opening instructions and a packing record. Inspect it before the next trip and account for return freight and storage. On-site convenience does not guarantee lower total cost or a particular environmental benefit.
