Planning empty packaging for return transport after the fair

Plan your transport

Empty crates and protective parts should keep their link to the goods after unpacking. A numbered repacking plan helps you avoid mixing custom inserts with similar packaging from other exhibitors. Before dismantling, check that all required parts are back – missing packaging changes the return transport.

Where do empties go during the fair?

There is rarely space on the stand. At many venues, on-site logistics offers empty-packaging storage, booked via the organiser. Alternatively, the empties can go back with the vehicle and return for dismantling. We discuss which option suits you; storage by us is only part of the job if explicitly agreed.

Keep the link to the goods

Label empty crates with the same number as the goods that go inside. Packing at dismantling is then quick, and every exhibit goes back into its own packaging.

What matters

It is agreed who stores the empty packaging, and where.
The return of empties to the stand is scheduled before packing begins.
Each empty crate carries the number of the goods that belong in it.

Good to know

Plan your transport

Is storage of empty packaging part of the transport?

Only if explicitly agreed. Empties are often stored via the venue’s on-site logistics or travel back with the vehicle and return for dismantling. Tell us what you plan; we include it in the quotation so the return transport does not fail because crates are missing.

Transport solutions

01

Checking packaging condition before exhibition transport

Packaging can look complete and still raise questions. Check crates, cases and protective parts before exhibition transport and report loose fastenings, damaged areas or missing inserts early – then we can clarify together what is needed before collection.

02

Planning collection after stand dismantling

When the fair closes, everything should go back quickly and complete. We collect your exhibition goods after dismantling – planned around the time the shipment is actually packed and released, not around the last visitor hour.

03

Transporting rented event equipment

We collect rented furniture, technical equipment and other hire items from the rental company, deliver them to the trade fair and return them after the event. Because the collection point, return address and return deadline often differ, we plan both legs with you from the start.
