01
Custom wood crates
Built-to-fit crates engineered to the exact dimensions, weight, and fragility of your piece.
Custom Crating
Custom crating for anything too valuable to ship in a box.
Built-to-fit wooden crates for fine art, antiques, furniture, and fragile or oversized pieces—engineered, padded, and blocked so your item arrives exactly as it left. In our warehouse or on-site at your location, nationwide.
Include specific details such as pickup from and delivering to complete address, type of items, number of items, weight of each item, dimensions (L x W x H), current packaging type, and estimated value of the order.
More than a box
A crate built around the piece, not the other way around.
Off-the-shelf boxes don't protect a marble console, a chandelier, a sculpture, or a one-of-a-kind antique. Custom crating means we measure the piece, engineer the crate to fit it, and pad and block it so nothing shifts, flexes, or touches the walls in transit.
We crate for museums, galleries, designers, collectors, and brands—anything high-value, fragile, oversized, or irreplaceable—and we can ship what we crate, door to door.

Frequently asked questions
Custom crating, explained.
What is custom crating?
Custom crating is building a wooden crate engineered to fit a specific item—measured, padded, and blocked so a fragile, high-value, or oversized piece is protected in transit far better than any stock box.
How much does crating cost?
Crating is quoted per item, based on size, weight, fragility, materials, and whether it's a standard crate, a museum-grade art crate, or an ISPM-15 export crate. Request a quote for exact pricing.
