The Art of Custom Crating: How We Protect Your Valuables

Over the years, Pacific Crating and Shipping has perfected a service that guarantees the safety of your valuables - custom crating. It is an art, a blend of technology, craftsmanship, and attention to detail where every piece of cargo gets the protection and care it deserves.

The aim of custom crating is simple - to shield your goods from all possible risks during transit. However, achieving this aim is a complex process, which involves an understanding of the item's fragility, value, dimensions, and route. We couple this knowledge with our experience and expertise to design a crate that fits your item like a glove.



Every item is unique, and so should be its crate. That's why, at Pacific Crating & Shipping, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Whether it’s a painting, a vintage car, or a delicate piece of machinery, we design and build a crate specifically for it. Our team of in-house experts assess the item, its material, weight, and sensitivity to vibration and shock, and drafts a detailed plan.

Once the plan is approved, we bring it to life with superior quality materials that ensure longevity and robustness. The internal structure of the crate is padded, often with foam, to cushion the item from any potential jolts. If the item is sensitive to environmental factors, we incorporate protective barriers against dust, moisture, and UV rays.

To ensure the utmost security, we sometimes employ a technique called 'blocking and bracing.' This method involves creating a wooden framework inside the crate to 'block' the item from moving and 'brace' it against potential impacts.

Not just the safety, we also consider the ease of handling while designing our crates. Features like the addition of skids or pallet runners allow the crate to be easily lifted and moved around with a forklift, making both your and our job much easier.

At Pacific Crating & Shipping, we understand that different items pose different challenges. That's why we also specialize in building crates with specific materials for unique needs. For instance, if you’re shipping electronics, we can make an anti-static environment inside the crate by using conductive foam or anti-static bubble wrap.

As you can see, custom crating is not just about protecting your goods; it’s about providing peace of mind. With Pacific Crating & Shipping, you can rest assured that your valuables are receiving top-notch protection while in transit.

Ultimately, the art of custom crating is about making your moving experience hassle-free and secure, and Pacific Crating & Shipping makes this possible with our meticulous approach, knowledge, and dedication.
