Crating Service

When building a custom crate, there are many factors to consider: mode of transportation, size, weight, shape, and fragility of your
item(s).
The expert crating of fine art, antiques, computers, furniture, trade show items and equipment starts with professional interior packing. In addition to the shipping crate itself, Navis Pack & Ship brings years of experience and training to the critical step of securing your items inside the custom shipping crate. We use a variety of packaging solutions and bracing/blocking materials, chosen specifically to create the best shipping solution for each individual shipment.
Shipping electronics/computers? We'll use anti-static bubble for surface protection and then foam-in-place for interior protection. From a few PCs to an entire data center, our secure packing service will help you relocate your critical computer assets quickly and safely.
Shipping an oil painting? We'll wrap it in surface protection designed specifically for oil paintings and other fine art, then wrap the painting itself in cushioning material to protect the frame from being damaged in transit.
Watercolors, stone sculptures, antique stained glass pieces--Navis Pack & Ship has 25 years of professional packing and shipping experience to handle any kind of art work.
Other protective packaging and crating materials include "cushioning foams" and "skid mates" so the entire shipping crate rides on a cushion of air that also protects the item inside.
International Crating
International shipping can require mandatory use of ISPM 15 heat-treated materials in shipping crates. Navis' packing services are able to meet this requirement, along with other, detailed international regulations that govern shipping. With 25 years of experience, we understand all international crate shipping requirements.
Our expertise includes the ability to construct shipping crates that protect your products from the rigors of domestic and international transit and to minimize the effects of shipping by land, sea or air. All of our shipping crates are made from quality lumber and plywood to ensure durability and strength. Our clients regularly use our crating and shipping services to ship from the U.S. and Canada, to Europe, Asia, Africa, the United Kingdom, South America, and Central America.
Our clients come from a wide variety of industries including aerospace, telecommunications, financial institutions, technology, manufacturers, machinery, art galleries, museums, hospitals and medical facilities, auction houses, and residential facilities. They need reliable, professional packing, crating, shipping, and small move services, and Navis Pack & Ship is their first choice.
