If the design includes images, an Adobe Photoshop (.psd) file at 100 dpi would be ideal.

If the file is primarily made up of logo(s) and copy, an .eps or .ai vector file from Adobe Illustrator is preferred, with all images embedded and fonts converted to outlines. These file types are required to achieve the best finished print quality.

The service is typically provided by the trade show’s official contractor, also known as the general service contractor or decorator.

Drayage services include storing empty crates and boxes during the show. Costs associated with drayage often are based on the weight of the materials, the way they are packaged and the type of content, such as consumable items that will not be shipped back to the destination of origin post show.
