Expand International launches a new shipping case that easily transforms into a presentation podium

April 25, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
The Expand PodiumCase has a unique solution that offers a larger surface than traditional podium boxes to gather around, as well as detachable shelves to hold brochures, demo products, drinks etc. The Expand PodiumCase overcomes the difficulties in lifting structures and equipment out of top loading cases. The unique flat opening case makes it both safer and easier to use.

-Detachable shelves
Four detachable shelves are available as an accessory. The shelves offer extra space and can hold brochures, drinks, demo products etc.

-Foldable table top
The table top is foldable and comes in two versions:
• oak (with brass hinges)
• brushed aluminium (with chromed hinges).

As an option, a small table top is also available for when the box is used closed (as a podium) instead of open (as a counter). Please note that it is not the same as the table top for Expand PodiumBox. Both versions are fixed with a locking function.

A perfect complement to our other products
The Expand PodiumCase is a flexible and very spacious transport box. It is opened up like a suitcase, which makes it very easy to pack. Most of our products fit into the box, for example:
• Expand 2000 (there is a set of packing bags for the packing of Expand 2000).
• Expand MediaFabric
• Expand QuickScreen 1 & 3 - 33 7/16" (85 cm)
• Expand MediaScreen 1 & 2 - 33 7/16" (85 cm)
• Expand BrochureHolder
• Expand M2
• Other products

-Extra exposure
The counter is perfect to use for extra exposure. The graphic wrap is mounted with Velcro. With the Expand PodiumCase the surface for graphic exposure is twice as large as on the Expand PodiumBox. The wrap size is 68 7/8" wide by 33 7/16" high (175 cm x 85 cm) open and
71 1/2" wide by 33 7/16" high (181.6 cm x 85 cm) closed respectively.

-Colors and material
The Expand PodiumCase is made of durable plastic in anthracite grey. The material is shock resistant and has a structure that endures rough handling and minimizes visibility of scratch marks on the surface. The product has a unique shape and is of very high quality.

-Visible details
We have chosen to make the details visible, such as hinges, clasps and handles. The clasps used to lock the box are made of transparent rigid plastic with red details. The handle on top is made of chrome. There are also two additional handles on the bottom and on the side.

-Easy to transport
The Expand PodiumCase is equipped with wheels for easy transport. It is also equipped with three handles in different positions to make the moving and lifting as easy as possible e.g. in and out from a car trunk
