Our process, start to finish
Measure
Dimensions, weight, material and fragile points are documented.

Build and pack
The item is wrapped, cushioned and secured so it cannot move inside the crate.
Deliver and open
The crate travels upright as required and can be opened at final placement.
FAQs
Custom Crating questions we hear every week
What items should be custom crated?
Common candidates include oversized art, glass tops, stone pieces, sculptures, chandeliers and sensitive electronics.
Can a crate be reused?

Allow several business days for measurement and fabrication before move day.
Do you crate items for shipping by another carrier?
