The goal of custom crating is to provide tailored protection for goods and packages. What you are shipping is as important as how you are shipping it. For instance, electronic devices can greatly benefit from specialized packing materials designed to prevent moisture in the air from damaging their wiring or components. Additionally, art and sculptures need special padding to ensure that they don’t take damage when shifting in place during transit. With Crate This we provide crate and packaging that is systematically designed and constructed to ensure that best protection for your goods.

Unlike a homeowner, industrial facilities and commercial companies are potentially moving hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of machinery when they relocate. Our team helps craft the packaging needed to ensure that all of your property’s machines are correctly packaged and shipped.
When crating any large or heavy machinery it is often necessary to create specialized crating that can protect it. Not only do you need to protect the machinery from impact damage, but you also need to consider vapor barrier protection as well. We provide a variety of packing materials designed to protect heavy machinery.
