Your signage may leave the office looking perfect, but whether it arrives at your meeting in that same condition often depends on how it’s packed. Standard cardboard shipping boxes and makeshift packing materials can leave even carefully prepared graphics vulnerable to crushed corners, scratches, and other damage along the way, creating a less-than-polished impression for guests and plenty of last-minute frustration for your team. These surprise damages can mean added stress, unexpected (and sometimes expensive) reprint costs, or arriving at an event without an important piece of communication. That’s why the right shipping case is every bit as important as the signs inside it.
Built for the Journey
If you’re an event planner, you likely know the situation all too well: you arrive on-site, open your box of signage, only to discover bent corners, dents, or other damage that happened in transit. Suddenly, you’re left choosing between displaying less-than-perfect signage, scrambling to arrange an expensive last-minute reprint, or going without it altogether. Unlike cardboard boxes that can bend, tear, or become crushed along the way, the SMARTcase features a rigid, high-density plastic exterior built to withstand the bumps and impacts that are unavoidable during shipping, offering a level of protection that traditional boxes and bubble wrap simply can’t match. Plus, a dedicated space for your shipping label lets you simply attach it and hand the case off to your carrier, no additional packaging needed! Whether traveling by truck, checked airline luggage, or loaded into the back of your car, the SMARTcase ensures your signs arrive ready to make the right impression.
Protection from Every Angle
Of course, the durable exterior is only part of what keeps your investment safe. Rather than relying on loose packing materials that can shift during transit, each SMARTcase features dedicated 1-inch foam blocks that create a protective buffer around the areas of your signs that are most likely to bend, crush, or show damage after shipping: the corners. Additional foam padding cushions the top and bottom of your signs, while built-in straps and easy-to-use buckles prevent the graphics from moving inside the case and ensure none of your graphics accidentally escape during transit.
Versatile and Reusable
Between finding the right box, gathering enough protective material, and then hoping everything stays safe during transit, packing up your event graphics can sometimes feel like a guessing game. With its durable exterior, interior padding, and secure closures all built into the design, SMARTcases take the guesswork out of packaging and eliminate the need to start from scratch before every shipment. Their reusable design saves time and money from one event to the next, while also providing a convenient place to keep graphics organized and protected between your meetings. The best part? These cases aren’t limited to just easel signs! Use your SMARTcase to ship and store your podium signs, tabletop graphics, decals, folded table throws, and other event materials in one convenient location.
On-site Mobility
Venues can be massive and sometimes getting your signs safely to the property is only half the challenge. Once on-site, those visuals still need to make their way to registration areas, meeting rooms, sponsor activations, and other locations before they can do the job they were designed for. Built-in handles and recessed wheels make SMARTcases easy to maneuver through airports, loading areas, hotels, and convention centers, while keeping multiple graphics together means less lifting and fewer trips for your team. When the event wraps up, everything can be packed back into the same case for the journey home and protected storage until it’s needed again!
Ready to Roll?
Your signs have an important job to do, and protecting them shouldn’t add another variable to your planning process. From durable protection and simpler packing to easier on-site transportation and storage, SMARTcases help make every stage of the journey a little more manageable.
