6. Provide return fee and instructions to Host Club Show Co-Chairmen for inclusion in the show schedule.
7. Collect packing and return fees prior to the show or during exhibitor sign in. 
8. At the close of the show and before clean-up begins, insure that all returnable articles such as pin holders, accessories, bases, etc. are removed with the container. 
9. Before releasing a container to the packer
   • Place comment cards, ribbons, etc. in Zip-Lock plastic bags and include with the container.
