Exhibit Arrives in Hard Sided Case

All FDP exhibits arrive via UPS or Fedex in an indestructible hard-sided plastic trunk (23 x 25 x 25 inches) weighing approximately 115 pounds. Inside the trunk, you will find an inventory sheet that will list all the families in your exhibit copy, the number of text panels for each family, and other additional materials (image). When you open your exhibit, we will ask you to check the inventory to make sure everything has arrived safe and sound. Inside the box, you will find each photo packaged in an individual bubble wrap envelope with its accompanying text (image). Some types of the text panels are packaged separately (i.e. the K-3 text for In Our Family). All of this information will be on your inventory form. You will also receive in advance of the exhibit, a shipping/handling/hanging info sheet which will go over the other details of receiving an exhibit and hanging it, and shipping it out again. It is a very simple process.

Examples of set up options

Exhibits can be displayed in a variety of ways. Two of the most popular display methods are hanging the photos and accompanying text on a wall (image)-each photo and text panel has a wire on its back in order to hang from nails, picture hangers, or even pushpins-or displaying photos on a table easel with the text lying flat on the table alongside the photo (image). There are other methods as well, and we will help you figure out the best way to display your exhibit at your venue.

Shipping the exhibit back home

At the conclusion of your exhibition period, which we know will be a great success, we will instruct you how to ship it via Fedex or UPS to the next site. It's easy, don't worry. You will simply repackage the exhibit (image) in its trunk in the materials it came in, check off the inventory to make sure everything that arrived is being sent out (image). That's it--you're done!
