Crate This is headquartered in Holbrook Massachusetts and we work with businesses throughout New England to provide quality crating and packaging services. Our team is consistently traveling throughout New England to provide our remote services, including on-site expedited crating services in Providence. If you need crating done at your location in the greater Providence area, we would be happy to help.
Our team specializes in large and difficult projects. We work with out-of-gauge cargo as well as LTL shipments that require extra packaging. Whether you are trying to ship something big or small, or regardless of what it is made out of, we can help package it for shipping.
Crate This provides custom crating to businesses throughout Providence Rhode Island. We are partnered with NeLMA (the Northeastern Lumber Manufacturer’s Association) and all of the wood we use for our packaging is treated for international shipping. At Crate This, it is our goal to provide custom-tailored packaging solutions. It is important to never under or over-packaged goods as too much packaging is a waste of materials and freight is usually charged based on weight and size. Aside from crating, we provide a variety of packaging materials that protect goods from water damage, corrosion, and dust and debris. No matter what you are shipping or where you are shipping it, we can build you crating that works well with your budget.
Crate This specializes in out of gauge shipping. If you are shipping using the breakbulk method, it is imperative that your shipment is properly packaged. Because your shipment will not be inside of a freight container, it will need likely need strapping to keep it secure and heat shrink wrapping to prevent damage. Our team has worked with out-of-gauge goods for years and can provide solutions for your larger shipments. If what you are shipping is oversized we can provide crating and packaging that is custom made for your goods.
Our team has worked with many different companies that planned to relocate. Homeowners use moving companies, and companies use Crate This. When a company plans to move to a new location there are often thousands of pounds of goods that need to be moved with them. We can provide crating and packaging to help facilitate the move from your current location.
Machinery often needs specialized packaging to ensure that it is safe from water damage, impact damage, and damage caused by dust and debris. Our team has helped many industrial clients ship specialized machinery and made sure that the packaging is designed to prevent all types of damage.
Glass, ceramics, and other fragile materials require specialized packaging. With padding and strapping we can ensure that art and sculptures are held in place and are not damaged in transit. Whether you are shipping internationally or domestically we can ensure that your goods are properly packaged.
Like machinery, electronic devices are specifically vulnerable to certain types of damage. Electrical equipment needs to be protected from moisture and dirt, which is why we provide special vapor barrier protection as well as heat shrink wrapping to provide extra protection for electronic goods.
Often small businesses need to ship something smaller than a single freight container. While LTL shipping methods can save money on shipping they can also increase the risk of damage to your goods during transit. Extra space inside a container can increase the chances of your goods shift during transit. That is why we provide specialized packing services for LTL shipments.
On-Site packing services are a by-appointment service. Simply give us a call or use our contact page to get in touch with a member of our team. From there we can handle scheduling and pick a time to handle your shipping project.
A custom shipping crate has too many factors to give a general ballpark estimate on. Instead we recommend calling or messaging our team to get a custom quote. The size of the crate, necessary materials, and other factors will all determine the overall pricing for your crate.
Yes, in fact we have created crates in the past that were specifically designed for multiple uses as well as one project where crates were converted into shelving units for the client. At Crate This we can always help you get crates that meet your exact needs.
Aside from providing packing services we also provide storage options for clients that need commercial storage. Additionally we provide specialty crating including trade show and exhibition crating.
