art crating
Protect your artworks with tailor-made fine art shipping crates.
What is an artwork crate?
Artwork shipping crates are custom-made wooden structures. They safeguard items during shipping, like the surface of an antique table or a delicate frame.
Crating art protects against vibrations and changes in temperature and humidity. All factors that can cause damage during transit and storage.
Fine art crates are also used to cushion heavy or irregular shaped items. Examples include sculptures, large paintings, or vintage chandeliers.
Basically, art crating provides owners with the peace of mind that artworks will be securely delivered. Whether shipping within the US or internationally.
Preparing items for an artwork crate
The process of crating art always starts in the same way – with an expert evaluation of artworks.

This is carried out by fine art logistics technicians who understand the global supply chain. And the need for special care and attention when transporting art.
During the evaluation, every piece is assessed to determine the size, shape, and condition of the artworks. Technicians then prepare the soft packaging from materials like bubble wrap, blankets, and foam-padding.
When wrapping art, the first layer is always in direct contact with the item to protect against dust, fingerprints, and scratches. This is followed by two more layers of soft packaging.
An art shipping crate then provides the final layer of protection and support during shipping.
