Two Combinations, One Order

Event Package Rentals in Ottawa

Some entrances want one product. Most want two working together — posts with a runner, or posts with the signage that explains them. A package is that pairing ordered as one item rather than assembled by you and hoped to match.

Red carpet package

Arrivals, premieres, galas and award evenings — anywhere a camera faces the door.

One order, two products — runner plus rope stanchions:

  • Carpet runner, cut to however far people actually walk
  • Rope posts standing along either side
  • Velvet rope strung post to post

Photographs are the reason this pairing exists. Surface and edge come from the runner; the rope line keeps everybody off it, which is what leaves the frame clean. Split them up and neither works — an unflanked runner just collects standing guests, and rope over bare floor reads as nothing more than a queue.

The walk sets the figure: how long it is, how wide it needs to be, how many days it stays down. Tell us about the space and the whole combination comes back priced as one line.

Crowd control package

Festival gates, registration desks, concert doors — anything under arrival pressure.

Belt stanchions with the signage that names them:

  • Belt stanchion posts carrying retractable belts
  • Sign toppers mounted on the posts

Belts and posts by themselves produce a shape, not a queue. Lanes are drawn by the stanchions; the toppers say what each lane is — start here, this desk, check-in that way — which means guests work it out by reading instead of asking. Leave the posts unlabelled and one of your staff spends the whole evening repeating the same sentence.

The queue sets the figure here: the number of entry points, the wording each one carries, and the hours the doors are open. Describe how it is laid out and the whole combination is priced in one go.

Which package fits your event

Start with the job the door has to do. Where the arrival is itself part of the occasion — people turning up, cameras on them, walking through rather than standing about — take the red carpet package. Premieres, galas, awards nights, a launch built around a photo wall: on all of those the entrance is content, not circulation, which is what the runner and its rope line are for.

Where the problem is sheer numbers — gates at a festival, registration in the morning, doors opening on a crowd that formed an hour ago — take the crowd control package instead. The lane comes from the posts and the explanation comes from the toppers, and between them a busy door keeps moving with nobody stationed there to direct it.

Plenty of events want both, and that is normal. Run registration through the day at a conference, hand out awards that evening, and you have described two packages arriving on one truck.

Building something else

Both packages go out fixed, as listed above. Building something they do not cover? Pick the items off their own pages instead — it still lands on a single quote:

FAQ

What does each package contain?

In the red carpet package: a runner for the walk, plus rope posts and velvet rope running along both edges of it. In the crowd control package: belt stanchions with their retractable belts, and a sign topper on top of each post to carry your queue wording.

Is there any advantage to taking a package?

Only that the pairing is what does the job, and ordering it as one item removes the guesswork about what goes with what. If the spec is already settled in your head, ordering item by item is completely normal and quotes the same way — a package is a shortcut, not a requirement.

Can the contents be changed?

What is listed is what ships. Want something else in the mix? Choose the pieces from their own pages — you still deal with one quote, one delivery and one person. Belt stanchions → · Rope stanchions → · Carpet runners →

Who decides how many we need?

Nothing is read off a chart — the counts come out of your entrance. Give us the address, the dates, and a photo or rough sketch if one exists, and the numbers get worked against the real space and land itemised on the quote.

What colour combinations are possible?

There are five runner colours — red, white, black, green, navy — and the rope you get depends on which post finish you choose. Both pages set this out: carpet runners →, rope stanchions →. Say on the enquiry what look you are aiming for and the pairing gets confirmed before anything is held.

Does a package arrive set up?

We deliver across Ottawa and Ontario and collect afterwards. Having the crew set out and strike is optional — send the event address and your access window and it is standing before doors, or we drop it off and your own team places it.

When should a package be ordered?

Because two product lines have to line up on the same date, the busy weeks are worth booking well ahead — gala season and the summer stretch above all. The rest of the calendar has no cut-off at all: give us the dates and we will say what both lines can do.
