Essential Considerations for Trade Show Hanging Signs

To ensure a seamless experience and the safety of all attendees, exhibitors must adhere to specific guidelines regarding overhead hanging signs. Below are the key points to consider when planning, shipping, and installing your display.

1. Compliance and Height Restrictions

• Height Limits: The top of your sign must not exceed the specific height limitation for your booth location. Please refer to your Exhibitor Manual for the exact dimensions allowed for your space.

• Electrical Codes: All electrical and neon components must strictly conform to the venue’s local electrical codes to be cleared for installation.

2. Shipping and Documentation

• Advance Warehouse: Hanging signs should be sent to the Advance Warehouse (not the show site) using the official hanging sign shipping labels by the specified deadline.

• Setup Instructions: Detailed assembly and orientation instructions must be included both with the Hanging Sign Order Form and placed inside the shipping crates.

3. Construction and Safety Specs

• Weight Capacity: Generally, the total weight of the sign and its assembly materials should not exceed 1,500 lbs.

• Material Selection: We recommend using lightweight metals and plastics. This ensures greater flexibility during installation and reduces the load on the ceiling structure.

• Prohibited Anchors: Signs must never be attached to electrical fixtures, raceways, gas lines, air pipes, or fire protection systems.

4. Installation Realities

• Final Placement: The exact location of your sign is determined by structural engineers prior to installation to ensure minimum stress on the building's framework.

• Ceiling Obstructions: Due to the location of support beams or ceiling infrastructure, your sign may need to be shifted slightly from your original floor plan specifications.

5. Labor and Supervision

• Authorized Labor: Many shows require the official Show Decorator to handle assembly. In such cases, third-party carpenter labor is not permitted to assemble the sign. Verify the specific labor rules for your event.

• Supervision: You or your appointed display house may supervise the installation. If no supervisor is provided, the official service contractor (RES) will perform the work and charge for time and materials accordingly.

6. Move-Out and Dismantling

• Pre-Arrangement: You are required to arrange for the dismantling, packing, and outbound shipping of your sign prior to move-out.

• Liability: Failure to make these arrangements in advance may result in the loss or damage of materials, for which the service center cannot be held liable.
