A detailed document accompanying a shipment that itemizes every component, graphic, piece of hardware, and accessory included in a crate, case, or carton. Packing lists are used by I&D crews and supervisors to verify that all materials have arrived at the show site, identify missing items before installation begins, and ensure that all components are accounted for when packing out at the close of the show. A well-maintained packing list is one of the most practical tools for managing a complex exhibit program across multiple shows.
