Specialized Art Logistics

Custom Clearance & Air Freight Booking in Art Logistics

As part of our comprehensive art logistics services, we provide seamless custom clearance and air freight booking solutions designed specifically for the unique requirements of art pieces. Understanding the specialized nature of art logistics, our services are curated to ensure the highest standards of care, compliance, and efficiency.

Museum crates are our highest-grade crates, designed for multiple uses over long periods of time—typically for traveling shows or exceptionally valuable pieces.

Our museum crates have all the features of our standard crates: ½" plywood construction, with all panels fully framed with ¾” battens, and all joints glued and stapled or screwed. All museum crates have bolt and plate closure and two coats exterior polyurethane sealant, as well as foam gasket around the lid. Bolt-and-plate closure is the most durable method of opening and closing the crate because it stands up to repeated use. The exterior sealant helps keep out air and moisture, and keeps the crates looking clean and neat over time.
