Out of the Box Exhibits

Canavan Scenic & Light, Inc. is a Licensed Reseller of all Out of the Box Products.

Introduction

Out of the Box Exhibits was created to solve the real world challenges of waste and excessive costs associated with the trade show industry. Everyone has seen the excessive refuse created at a trade show. This booth structure is designed to be either reused at another event, or to be sold to a recycling center as most convention centers are already doing now. We shouldn’t ignore the global implications of our industry upon the planet.

Further, the light weight nature of cardboard dramatically reduces shipping costs, drayage costs, and onsite labor which all add up quite quickly once you are on the trade show floor.

Out of the Box Exhibits has designed several standard shapes that serve most applications, if a new shape is desired, please let us know and we will see if it can be created. If not, rest assured that CS&L’s shop can create it for your specific use.

Product - Cardboard Structure

Out of the Box Exhibits has created several standard shapes and sizes. These items have been engineered for maximum strength and durability. They are very strong and easy to assemble. Each box includes the directions and all the parts to fully and correctly assemble that particular shape and size. Please watch the video for an assembly sample.

Product - Graphic Wrap

Out of the Box Exhibits has designed the booth system to be wrapped in a custom printed covering. This covering is able to be printed in any variety of colors, photos, backgrounds, and styles. Our printers print the fabric to exacting standards and pre-install the Velcro in the correct places. Once onsite, the Graphic Wrap simply Velcro’s into place and the booth is ready for visitors!

Price

From the outset of this products creation, price has been a concern. With the current economy, price is also our customer’s biggest concern. Cardboard and mass production are two of the best formats to control costs. The costs of this product are tightly controlled from the raw materials all the way through disposal. Cardboard is a very cost effective material from a strength verses weight ratio. It is very easily milled into shapes. All of the waste from manufacturing is recycled easily. The finished product is remarkably easy and convenient to store efficiently. Shipping to and from the Convention Centers is very cheap as the size, shape and weight of these boxes are amazingly efficient. The onsite setup is very simple and requires minimal labor. The dismantle can be done simply as well as repacking all of the items back into their respective boxes or simply leaving the booth in place and allowing the Convention Center to sell the cardboard to a recycling center.

Ecologically Green

Today almost everyone in the trade show and exhibit industry is saying that their products are "green". By the 1970's definition-if a product can be recycled, - they can call it green. However, today the term green refers to the total impact that a product has on the planet.

"Out of the Box Exhibits" has the overall smallest carbon foot print in the exhibit industry. Our booth structures are made out of laminated cardboard that is strong enough to be re-used several times, and several other carbon - saving features, such as:

• Minimal shipping - to save on petroleum and related emissions.

• Easily recycled - little energy is used to recycle cardboard. Most hotels and Convention centers recycle it.

• Composed of recycled materials - Cardboard is primarily recycled paper

• New HP Recycled prints and inks. We now feature the new Hewlett-Packard line of recycled fabric for printing using their newest line of vegetable inks to greatly ease the logistics of recycling the printed wrap. In fact HP is even paying for the shipping to send the print back to them for recycling. No one else in the industry can show this small of a carbon footprint for a booth!

• Minimal Labor to assemble and disassemble, saving not only personnel costs but also the cost associated with transporting those personnel to and from the work site.

Tool less Setup

These products are designed to exacting standards and cutout with computer precision. They are designed for strength and durability, despite their simple construction technique. No tools are required to assemble this product!

Shipping

Your products structure is probably already built and sitting on the shelf right now. Your custom printed Display Wrap will take a week to prepare, print, and ship from the time we receive your prepaid order and print ready artwork. We prefer to ship UPS ground for the most economical option. This will usually take from 3 to 5 additional days. In most cases a 2 week turnaround time is the most realistic time window available, larger projects may take longer. Once you receive your display we recommend that you visually inspect and if at all possible assemble the display to confirm that everything is show ready before you bring the display to the job site for the first time.

 Drayage

For our customers who use booths 10’ x 10’ they can very easily hand carry the 2 or 3 boxes required for their booth. Properties with a larger footprint may find that they have shipped a pallet of boxes to the job site. This single pallet can sometimes replace an entire 24’ truck of conventional wooden displays. In most cases, this savings alone can pay for the cost of the booth structure.

Dismantle

For booths that have a certain size and scale, perhaps the very low cost of cardboard does not justify the additional combined costs of dismantle supervision, dismantle labor, drayage out of the hall, trucking to a storage facility and storage itself. Our costs are so low and that these combined expenses are usually more than the property structure costs. Simply remove the Velcro Display Wrap (ship back to HP at their cost) and tip the cardboard structure over to signify that the booth is dismantled and ready to recycle. The hall will do the rest and will even be paid (the recycling fee) for their efforts! You move on to your next show with no excess baggage or additional responsibilities. Additionally this manner of working  frees up the design of the next event, to more closely match the mission of that show and you are not stuck with legacy designs beyond their original service value.
