Material Handling / Freight:
Material Handling
or commonly known as drayage:
Drayage originally meant "to transport by a
sideless cart". In the late 20th century
United States, "drayage" has become a term
to describe various logistical material
handling services in the transportation
industry.
Material handling or drayage service is used
in the exhibition industry, where a number
of exhibitors gather in an exhibition area
to represent their products and services.
JP Display offers Material Handling
service managing the receipt of freight
shipments and storing materials until the
freight is later transported to each
individual vendor’s exhibit space into the
exhibition site. Convention centers and
hotels do not have the facilities,
equipment, or manpower to manage, receive
and store exhibit freight. Thus, the show
management and/or association has requested
JP Display as their exhibition
contractor to provide material handling
service for entering and exiting of freight
and products in the facility.
JP Display
provides the following Material Handling
service:
-
Show specific shipping labels included
in the Exhibitor Service Kit directing
