Shipping Freight to PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2027

PACK EXPO Las Vegas brings thousands of exhibitors, live machinery, and exhibit freight to the Las Vegas Convention Center. Exhibitors should plan transportation around their assigned target move-in date and any machinery or installation requirements.

For heavy equipment, oversized exhibits, or time-sensitive freight, coordinate shipping and setup timing before establishing your pickup and delivery schedule.

That language is particularly appropriate here: PMMI expects 2,300 exhibitors, and machinery running live on the show floor is a major part of the event.

YOUR SHIPPING OPTIONS

Advance Warehouse vs. Direct-to-Show

There are two primary ways to get your freight to the show. Compare the timing and advantages of each option to determine what works best for your shipment.

ADVANCE WAREHOUSE

Ship Early. Arrive Ready

Send your freight ahead of the show and have it received before exhibitor move-in begins.

best for:

Exhibitors whose freight is ready early and who want more flexibility ahead of move-in.

DIRECT-TO-SHOW

Ship Straight to the Venue.

Schedule your freight to arrive directly at the venue during the show's designated receiving window.

VENUE
Las Vegas Convention Center
best for:

Exhibitors whose freight isn't ready by the advance deadline or shipments better suited for delivery directly to the venue.

Exhibitway recommendation

Which Shipping Option Makes Sense for PACK EXPO Las Vegas?

Advance shipping can provide more flexibility when exhibit freight is ready early, while direct-to-show may make more sense for machinery or equipment that needs to arrive closer to installation.

PACK EXPO uses assigned target move-in dates, so start with your booth's delivery and installation schedule and work backward to determine the right shipping method and pickup timing.

Nice and short. We can make this more specific once the service manual comes out.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

PACK EXPO Las Vegas Shipping FAQs

When should I ship freight to PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2027?

PACK EXPO Las Vegas uses assigned target move-in dates for exhibitors. Your shipment timing should be planned around your booth's assigned target date rather than simply the show's September 27 opening. Detailed 2027 freight schedules will be available through the official Exhibitor Service Manual.

Is drayage included at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2027?

PACK EXPO states that drayage and material handling are included in the exhibit space rate when the shipment or truck checks in at the Las Vegas Convention Center by 2:00 PM on the exhibitor's assigned target move-in date. Exhibitors should review the official service manual for requirements and special assessment pricing.

Should machinery ship to the advance warehouse or directly to PACK EXPO Las Vegas?

The right option depends on when the machinery is ready, its size and installation requirements, and the exhibitor's assigned target move-in date. Early-ready freight may benefit from advance shipping, while machinery requiring coordinated installation may be better suited to a scheduled showsite delivery.

Can Exhibitway ship machinery and equipment to PACK EXPO Las Vegas?

Yes. Exhibitway can coordinate machinery, equipment, displays, and other trade show freight to PACK EXPO Las Vegas. Heavy or time-sensitive shipments should be planned around the exhibitor's target move-in date, unloading requirements, and installation schedule.
