What Materials Are Typically Used In Trade Show Crate Construction?
Trade show crates are commonly constructed using heat-treated lumber to meet international shipping standards like ISPM 15, which ensures pest-free wood materials. Capitol Crating employs robust plywood panels combined with hardwood framing to provide strength and durability. Custom foam inserts and shock-mounted bases are integrated to absorb vibrations and prevent damage to sensitive equipment and displays. Sealants and vapor barrier bagging are sometimes applied for environmental protection against moisture and contaminants during shipping and storage.
How Is Shock-Mounting Incorporated In Trade Show Crates?
Shock-mounting in trade show crates involves installing specialized cushioning systems that isolate the contents from external shocks and vibrations during transport. Capitol Crating uses custom-engineered bases and foam inserts designed to fit the specific trade show materials, such as electronics or delicate exhibits. This decreases the risk of damage from handling, road bumps, or shipping vibrations. The shock-mounted system is often tested or adjusted based on the weight and fragility of the contents, providing tailored protection against impact stresses.

How Does Capitol Crating Ensure Environmental Protection During Shipping?
Capitol Crating enhances environmental protection with shrink wrapping, vapor barrier bagging, and cleanroom packaging techniques during crate preparation. These methods shield trade show materials from moisture, dust, and contaminants. Cleanroom packaging is particularly used for sensitive machinery or instruments inside crates, ensuring a sealed and contamination-free environment. For long-term storage or delayed shipping, the shrink wrap and vapor barriers protect crates against rain, dirt, sun damage, and temperature fluctuations, preserving the integrity of trade show displays throughout the shipment lifecycle.
What Shipping Methods Are Compatible With Trade Show Crates?
Trade show crates from Capitol Crating are designed for compatibility with multiple shipping modes including truck, air, and ocean freight. Their constructs meet size and weight requirements for freight carriers, and the reusable nature allows for streamlined handling. Crates are often palletized or skid-mounted to facilitate forklift and cargo handling equipment use. The company also coordinates freight forwarding and customs clearance to ensure seamless domestic and international transport to over 3,000 cities worldwide.
