PACKING ARTWORK FOR RETURN
All art will be packed and shipped by the staff at
Artexpo New York unless you are planning on attending the show, representing your artwork and would
prefer to pack it yourself.
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.
Please Note: Artexpo New York is NOT responsible for
any damages which occur in Shipping or on-site.

in the area to direct you to the appropriate unloading area. Upon arrival there will be labor available to
unload your vehicle and transport to your booth. This
material handling service is included as part of your
booth package. Unloading or reloading of any freight
into the exhibit hall by any and all privately owned
vehicles and contracted carriers will be handled by
Port Parties.
