Trade Show Logistics & Exhibit Services
Integrated booth storage, crating, shipping, and show-floor coordination for small businesses and frequent exhibitors.
Onsite Global Logistics provides end-to-end trade show shipping and exhibit management. We understand that an exhibit is not just freight—it is a time-sensitive marketing asset that must arrive intact, on schedule, and ready to assemble. From local Houston booth storage to complex international trade fair logistics, our team personally coordinates the carriers, facilities, and drayage contractors so you can focus on the event.
Our Exhibit Logistics Capabilities
We manage the complete lifecycle of your trade show assets, ensuring they are protected between shows and delivered precisely when your move-in window opens.
- Trade Show Booth Storage — Secure, racked warehouse storage in Houston, Texas, including climate-controlled space for graphics and sensitive components. We inventory, photograph, and maintain your assets between events.
- Domestic Exhibit Shipping — Reliable transportation to convention centers and hotels across North America. We handle the marshalling yard appointments and drayage paperwork to ensure your crates hit the floor on time.
- Cross-Border Trade Show Logistics — Direct trucking to expo centers in Mexico, including the temporary importation paperwork required to ensure your exhibition goods cross and return without becoming permanent imports.
- International Trade Fair Support — Air freight and ocean freight to European and Asian trade shows, supported by ATA Carnet coordination and EU customs documentation.
- Overseas Booth Imports — If your new booth is being fabricated overseas, we manage the ocean freight, customs clearance, and delivery straight into our storage network so it is ready for its first U.S. show.
Why Exhibitors Choose OGL
You are a business owner or marketing director, not a shipping department. Most freight forwarders are built for high-volume pallet clients and treat a single exhibit crate as an annoyance. We built our trade show services specifically for companies that exhibit frequently and need a single, accountable partner to handle the logistics.
With OGL, your account is handled by a dedicated representative who knows your booth inventory and understands the strict deadlines of event logistics. One vendor handles the storage, crating, customs paperwork, and freight on a single invoice.
