Dimensions, weight, fragility and center of gravity. A crate that fits loosely is as risky as no crate at all.

How We Build
and Ship Your Crate
2 · The crate is built to size
Custom wood crates made for your item, not a stock box you hope it fits into. Heavy machinery gets skids and bracing; art gets a slim, rigid case.
3 · The item is wrapped and cushioned inside
Foam, corner protection and blocking so nothing shifts in transit. What moves inside a crate is what arrives broken.
4 · Sealed, labeled and documented for export
Crates leaving the country are prepared to international standards and marked so customs and freight handlers know what they are handling.
5 · Pickup and handoff
We collect the crate and deliver it to your freight forwarder, port or carrier — or ship it as part of a full international move.

Frequently Asked
Questions
01 What is a custom wood crate and when do I need one?+
A crate built to the exact dimensions of one item, instead of a box you hope it fits into. You need one when the item is fragile, oddly shaped, unusually heavy or irreplaceable: artwork, sculpture, antiques, marble, sensitive equipment, machinery.
02 How much do crating services cost?+
It comes down to the size of the item, how much bracing and cushioning it needs, and whether the crate has to meet export standards. Send us dimensions and a photo and you get a quote — there is no charge to ask.
03 Do you handle export packing for international shipping?+
Yes. We prepare crates and packing to international standards for items leaving the country, and mark them so customs and freight handlers know what they are dealing with.
04 Do you ship the crate too, or only build it?+
Both work. We can hand the finished crate to your freight forwarder, port or carrier, or handle the crating as part of a full international move.
05 Can you crate artwork, marble and antiques?+
Those are the items crating exists for. Each one gets foam, corner protection and internal blocking so nothing shifts in transit — what moves inside a crate is what arrives broken.
06 How far in advance should I book crating?+
The sooner the better, because the crate is built for your item and that takes time. Call (305) 539-0553 as soon as you have a ship date and we will tell you what is realistic.
