FAQ

A Custom Canvas Art Crate is a handcrafted wooden shipping box designed specifically to protect framed or stretched canvas artworks during transport or storage. Each crate from ArtCrates is built to the exact dimensions of your artwork for a perfect fit and maximum protection.

Standard boxes or off-the-shelf packaging rarely provide adequate protection for valuable art. A custom-built art crateensures your painting is secure, cushioned, and isolated from vibration, moisture, and impact — ideal for gallery shipments, exhibitions, or international transport.

All ArtCrates are made from ISPM 15–certified timber & plywood, ensuring they meet international export standards. We line each crate with archival-safe foam and protective barriers to keep your canvas stable and safe from environmental damage.
