Custom Crating: Which Types of Items Need it for Safe Transport?

Hiring a professional packing, crating, and shipping company to create custom crates for your items that need to be shipped is the best way to ensure the safety of your goods during transit, regardless of their destination. Custom crates are designed and built specifically for the item(s) you need to ship, ensuring a tight, padded fit that will prevent bumps, drops, sudden movements from damaging the item(s) while it is being shipped via ground, air, or ocean transport. Custom crating is especially useful for valuable-yet-fragile items, some of which we’ll cover in more detail below.

Lab & Medical Equipment

One item category that can benefit from custom crating services when being shipped is lab and medical equipment. Items like Not only are many types of lab/medical equipment incredibly expensive, but they are also extremely fragile. Investing in a custom crating service for your lab or medical equipment before it is shipped will help protect your investment. Here at Extreme Packing Solutions, we also fully insure all items that are packed, crated, and shipped with us, ensuring that you can rest easy knowing that your items will arrive safely!

Artwork

Another type of item that can benefit from custom crating and packing services when being shipped is artwork. As anyone who owns any fine art knows, paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, and other types of art can be extremely valuable. Artwork can easily be damaged by water, vapor, bumps, drops, and more during the shipping process. In order to combat this, you should work with a professional crating and shipping company that offers custom crating and vapor barrier packaging in order to protect your art during the shipping process.

Antiques

Antiques are another item category that can benefit from custom crating during the shipping process. Oftentimes, the older an antique is, the more fragile it is. In order to protect your antiques, whether you’re shipping them to a new location or have just purchased them online or at an auction, it’s a smart idea to invest in custom crating. The crate will be custom-made to the exact specifications of your antiques, helping to ensure that they don’t become damaged during transit from their original location to their destination.

Computers & Electronics

One more item category that can benefit from custom crating (that we’ll discuss in this article) is computers and electronics. Computers and other types of electronics are at risk of damage from several different factors: drops, bumps, water damage, vapor damage, and more. The best way to protect your computers and electronics during the shipping process is to work with a company that specializes in custom crating and shipping, ensuring that your items stay safe all the way to their destination.
