Production, storage and distribution for branded merchandise and campaign collateral.
Branded Merchandise Production, Storage & Distribution
ACL Exhibitions helps businesses manage branded merchandise and campaign collateral from production through to storage and distribution. Merchandise can be produced for exhibitions, roadshows, corporate events and wider marketing activity, then delivered into ACL’s warehouse network until it is required. Where merchandise forms part of an exhibition or event programme, ACL can consolidate it with stands, graphics and other equipment for delivery to the venue. Materials can also be distributed separately where no installation service is required.

Discuss Your RequirementsBranded Merchandise Production
ACL can coordinate the production of branded merchandise around your campaign, event schedule and budget. This allows merchandise requirements to be planned alongside exhibition stands, graphics, collateral and event logistics rather than being treated as a completely separate project.
Where artwork, branding or production specifications are required, our team can work with the supplied brand assets and agreed product requirements before production begins.
Event Collateral & Campaign Materials
Exhibition and event programmes often require more than promotional merchandise. Printed collateral, brochures, graphics, handouts and other campaign materials may also need to be produced, stored and delivered alongside the main event equipment.
ACL can help coordinate these materials so that the items required for a particular event are prepared as part of the wider logistics programme.
Merchandise & Collateral Storage
Merchandise and collateral can be delivered into ACL’s warehouse network ahead of an event or campaign and stored until required. This gives clients an alternative to holding large volumes of promotional material within their own offices or arranging separate short-term storage.
Stored items can then be released as the event schedule develops, whether they are required for one exhibition, several venues or an ongoing programme.
ACL’s London and Leeds facilities also support the storage of exhibition stands, graphics and other reusable event equipment.
Consolidated Event & Exhibition Deliveries
One of the main advantages of combining merchandise logistics with ACL’s exhibition services is the ability to bring related materials together before delivery.
Stands, display equipment, graphics, merchandise and collateral can be received and prepared in advance, then consolidated for delivery to the event. This can reduce the number of separate shipments arriving at the venue and make it easier to ensure that the materials required by the event team arrive together.
Merchandise Distribution with Exhibition Installation
Where ACL is installing an exhibition stand or event display, merchandise and collateral can travel as part of the same logistics programme. The required materials can be delivered with the installation and made available to the event team when the stand is handed over.
This is particularly useful where several different types of equipment and campaign material need to reach the same venue within a fixed build-up schedule.
Standalone Merchandise & Collateral Distribution
ACL can also distribute merchandise and collateral where no installation service is required. Materials can be sent from storage to an event venue, office, campaign location or other agreed destination as required.
This allows clients to use the storage and logistics service independently rather than having to commission a complete exhibition installation.
Merchandise Logistics for Multi-Event Programmes
Businesses attending several events can store merchandise and collateral centrally and release the required materials as each event approaches. This can be coordinated alongside exhibition equipment, graphics and other assets where the programme uses the same materials across multiple locations.
For events moving between several venues, ACL can also combine merchandise distribution with wider roadshow event management and exhibition logistics.
Production, Storage & Distribution Through One Team
Managing production, storage and distribution through one supplier can simplify the movement of branded materials from the initial campaign requirement through to the point at which they are needed.
ACL can support the process across production planning, warehouse receipt, storage, event consolidation and final distribution, while clients remain free to use individual parts of the service where that is all they require.
