Many times one person or group
packs for the show, while another person or group is on-site. If this is
your situation, then prepare a content list for each crate/case and be sure to
number each box.
Remember your emergency show kit;
from Band-Aids to box-cutters, tape and
glue, for any kind of emergency (exhibit malfunction, blisters, hunger). Refill
when you get back from the expo. I recommend a small first aid kit is packed
with the staff.
Place one packing list copy in
the show folder and give it to those on-site, and tuck another copy just inside
the crate/case. This helps if the
on-site staff is searching for one particular item.
Outsmart
thieves. Be sure you boxes do not have any identify marks labeling universal
valuable items such as electronic equipment.
