When your artwork is too valuable — or too large — for standard packaging, ArtCrates delivers peace of mind.
Our Large Custom Art Crates are expertly engineered to protect oversized paintings, sculptures, and installationsduring transport, storage, and international shipping.
Every crate is handcrafted in the UK using ISPM 15–certified timber, archival-safe foam, and shock-absorbent fittings — giving museums, galleries, and collectors complete assurance that their art will arrive exactly as it left.
Features include:
Heavy-duty construction for paintings and sculptures
Reinforced corners and framing for superior load-bearing strength
Vibration-dampening and climate-safe linings
Reusable, modular design for long-term sustainability
Optional humidity buffering for museum-grade shipments
Each design is tested and refined by our in-house specialists to ensure maximum protection from impact, vibration, and environmental change.
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.
