Added protection
For added protection, our crates can be lined with museum foam, Ethafoam or Plastizote giving your shipment protection against a range of potential hazards.
We know which foams to use and when to use them, providing solid protection regardless of how long the work spends in the crate, or where it is going.
For works that cannot be soft-packed we can build travel frames to protect the surface. All of our T-frames are built in house and can be made to any specification.
