EXHIBITORS SHIPPING MATERIALS AND ARTWORK Port Parties has been appointed the official Material Handling Contractor for Artexpo New York 2015. Port Parties has the responsibility of receiving and handling all exhibit materials and empty crates. It is their responsibility to manage docks and schedule vehicles for the smooth and efficient move-in and move-out of the show. Port Parties will not be responsible for material they do not handle! Crates, boxes, and packing materials must be re- moved from booths and stored during the show. No empty crates or boxes can be used as display counters or props unless they are chemically treated to resist flame. Please place small containers inside larger ones to facilitate storage. Once your containers are ready for storage you need to place one “EMPTY” sticker on each container. EMPTY Stickers will be provided at the Exhibitor’s Service Desk. Port Parties will come to your booth and remove all containers that have an empty sticker. The containers will be returned at the close of the show. Your cooperation in keeping the aisles clear to facilitate the moving of containers is appreciated.
