Most of an artwork's safety in transit is decided before it leaves the wall: in how it's packed. That's why we build custom wooden crates in our own facilities, designed for the geometry, weight and fragility of each piece — a large-format canvas, a sculpture, a family antique.

How our service works

• Custom wooden crates, built in our workshop for each work: no piece travels in a generic box.
• Certified personnel in art handling, packing and transport.
• Inventory with photographic record of each work's condition before packing.
• Preparation for export and import regimes, temporary or permanent, if the work will travel.
• Experience with galleries and art foundations, museums and private collectors.

Need only the packing?

You can also contract packing as a standalone service: we prepare your works so you can store, exhibit or transport them with the carrier of your choice. And if you want the full process, we combine it with our Fine Art Transport and Fine Art Handling.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a custom crate different?

It's designed for one single work: its exact dimensions, its weight, its fragile points. We build them in wood in our own facilities, which lets us control the quality and timing of every order.

What kind of works do you pack?

Paintings and canvases of any format, sculptures, antiques, ceramics, instruments and items of sentimental value. If it's fragile and irreplaceable, we know how to pack it.

Can I contract packing only, without transport?

Yes. We prepare your works for storage, exhibition or the move you decide on. Packing is a complete service in itself.

Do you document the work's condition before packing?

Yes. Each piece is recorded with photographic inventory before packing, so its condition is documented from the very first moment.

Is the packing suitable for export?

Yes. Our packing meets what's needed for fine-art export and import regimes, whether temporary (exhibitions) or permanent, and we assist with the documentation.

Do you pack complete collections for galleries?

Yes. We work with multiple galleries and art foundations on single-work or full-collection projects, with timelines adapted to their exhibitions.

The fragile isn't improvised. It's built to measure.
