Custom Art Shipping Crates by Fine Art Shippers
Initially, we take precise measurements. These measurements determine the dimensions of the crate, guaranteeing that it can adequately accommodate the specific item or items it will hold. Accuracy is essential in building art shipping crates, as even a slight deviation can result in an ill-fitting crate, jeopardizing the safety and protection of the contents during transportation or storage.
Once the measurements of the crate’s framework are determined, the actual fabrication begins. Our workshop is equipped with all the necessary specialized tools for efficiently handling woodworking tasks, ensuring accuracy and excellence throughout the process. The skilled craftsmen at Fine Art Shippers possess the expertise and proficiency to work with wood and plywood, ensuring the construction of a sturdy crate that can withstand the demands of handling and transportation.
In the workshop, the selected wooden or plywood materials are carefully cut according to the measurements. This process requires attention to detail, ensuring the pieces fit together seamlessly during assembly. The use of high-quality wood or plywood enhances the durability and strength of the crate, safeguarding its contents from potential damage.

Assembly of the crate involves joining the cut pieces, using suitable fasteners, such as screws in our case. Having a professional workshop ensures that these connections are secure and reliable, preventing any structural weaknesses that could compromise the integrity of the crate. Additionally, in the workshop, our craftsmen employ techniques like reinforcing corners or adding bracing elements to enhance the overall strength of the crate.
From taking precise measurements to careful assembly and the final touches, each step contributes to the creation of resilient and visually appealing art shipping crates. If you need one for your artwork, please do not hesitate to contact our team for more details.
