THE BENEFITS OF CUSTOM CRATING SERVICES

Yes, we have made a variety of multi-purpose and multi-use crates. In fact, we create exhibition and tradeshow crating that is designed for companies that need to constantly move products and tradeshow booth elements from location to location. Additionally, we have handled an industrial relocation project where the crates we designed were made to work as new shelving units once they made it to their new destination. If there are specific things you need in your crate design, Crate This is the perfect place to get what you need. 

Costs for custom crates vary based on a variety of factors. The materials we use, their application & the size of the project are all going to have an effect on the total cost. That’s why we provide 100% free estimates. If you want a quote for a crating project, give us a call, or use our estimate form at the top of this page. 

We ship a variety of things. A shorter list would be what we don’t ship. However, there are a few main categories of shipments we specialize in, including: 

• LTL Shipping: Less than truckload is a common consolidation method where multiple shipments will share a shipping container. While this saves on shipping costs it also increases risks for that shipment. We handle packing that is designed to protect your shipment from any surrounding shipments sharing the same container. 
• Electronics: Electronics are particularly at risk of damage due to impacts, air moisture, or dust/dirt. By combining various materials including VCI application, heat shrink wrap, and padding we can protect your electronic devices from damage when shipping domestically or internationally.
• Heavy Machinery: Large machinery is often very valuable and also irreplaceable. Our team ensures that these shipments receive the proper packaging and crating to keep them safe while in transit. 
• Out Of Gauge Cargo: When it comes to large shipments, there is no one better to help you than the Crate This team. Our team has worked with Logan International Airport for years to handle any emergency shipping concerns regarding oversized shipments. Shipments that cannot fit in a container need specialized packaging to keep them safe during the shipping process. 
• Art & Fragile Goods: When a museum needs to ship a sculpture or priceless art piece they work with custom crating companies like Crate This. Our team specializes in protecting these fragile pieces as they are shipped. 

Our team provides trade show and exhibition crating. Booths that are used for business trade shows and exhibition halls often require a variety of materials. These materials need to be set-up and taken down every single day for the duration of the show. We craft crating that not only protects these elements but is designed to make loading and unloading the crate efficient for set-up and tear-down. That way multiple people can easily use the same crate to handle this process by following the crate’s instructions. 

Yes, our team provides both on-site crating as well as pick-up services by appointment. In some cases we may recommend that your goods are picked up by our team and then brought to our facility where we can manufacture the crates. Our team can handle this process for you. We will protect your goods while they are in transit between your location and ours. Otherwise we can also provide on-site services when needed. 

By appointment we can help with expedited crating and packing services. We understand that the nature of the shipping industry sometimes requires short turnarounds. Our team can help facilitate this by expediting our process. For more information please contact our team.
