Artwork Crating

Our custom crating services are designed to meet the rigorous standards of institutional transport and storage. With years of experience working alongside collection-based organisations and artists, our crates adhere to conservation best practices and the requirements of conservators, registrars, and collection managers. 

We offer a range of crate options — from museum-standard to lightweight courier crates — each tailored to the artwork’s dimensions, fragility, and travel conditions. 

Each project begins with an on-site assessment to determine the most appropriate solution. We construct in both structural laminated plywood and honeycomb-reinforced cardboard, offering options for heavy-duty protection or lightweight efficiency. Interior features can include vibration-dampening supports, archival wrapping, insulation, foam lined interior and reusable fittings — all aimed at preserving the condition of the artwork while easing the unpacking process. 

All crates are ISPM-15 compliant for international transit and are suitable for both transport and secure storage upon arrival.
