When you start a mobile craft business, the last thing you probably think about is metal fabrication. The truth is, there are several options you can have a metal fabrication contractor create for you that can be very beneficial to your business. If you are thinking of taking your craft business mobile, to participate in more weekend bazaars or shows, here are a few things that a metal fabricator can do for you.
Trailer Crafting Storage
If you are planning on going mobile with your craft business, you probably already have the trailer picked out. The problem is, most trailers tend to be very open with no real storage. As a craft business owner, you will not only have all of your crafts to sell but also items like price tags, craft supplies, and gift bags for the items you sell. This requires storage bins.
Sure, you can use regular plastic bins, but those can slide all over the trailer and may cause damage to some of your items. Instead, have a metal fabrication contractor create crafting storage that is welded directly into your trailer. This will give you a place to store the items, keep the separate, and prevent them from sliding during travel.
Mobile Display Walls
An option that you can have fabricated are mobile display walls. These walls can be created and placed on rollers for ease of mobility from your craft truck to the craft show site, or simply outside of your travel trailer. The walls can be made to fit your needs including hooks to hang items on, folding shelving, and folding capabilities so they can be unloaded as well as folded and placed back into the trailer easily. You can speak to a metal fabrication contractor about different options for the metal as well and types of waterproofing to prevent the metal from rusting in different weather conditions.
Display Signs
You may already have your business signs planned out, but there are other sign options available that can help your business. For example, a metal fabricator can create display signs for pricing as well as for contact information and sales. This can be very beneficial if you have multiple items and sizes such as blankets that may cost varying prices depending on the size chosen. You can also have some with dry erase or chalk options created so you can update prices, note when something is sold out, or where you will have your craft truck set up next.
These are just a few of the ways a metal fabrication contractor or company can help you upgrade your mobile craft business. For more ideas and pricing, visit your local metal fabrication business.

If you work in or run an industrial or manufacturing facility, safety is key. In this blog, we are going to talk a lot about safety. However, we are also going to veer into other aspects of these industries as well. There will be posts directed toward consumers, business owners, workers and many others. Before you start reading, let me introduce myself. My name is Steve. I used to volunteer at an animal refuge where I put together a lot of buildings and frequently visited sheet metal processing facilities, fence manufacturing companies and similar businesses. I was incredibly interested in what they did so I decided to create this blog. Thank you for reading.
