Traveling Museum Exhibit Packing & Crating
Our custom crates used for shipping provide cushioning and stability for any mode of transportation and repeated use. In designing them, we take into consideration the type of item, its age and condition, climate, humidity and temperature conditions at origin, during transport, and at the destination, and considerations for shock and vibration during handling, storage, and transportation.
