Custom Packaging and Crating
     
The safety and security of your artwork, while in transit, is the focus of our Crating and Packing Department. Our crates are built by skilled craftspeople with years of cumulative handling experience. Each crate is designed and constructed with the safe travel of the art object in mind. Our crating and packing methods are of the highest quality, utilizing the most advanced methods and materials - appropriate for both the object and the client requirements. Whether your artifact needs to travel across the country or across the globe, you can be assured that every crate is custom built. We offer a full array of packing options, Domestic and EU Compliant crates including those shown below.   Crate staff at ICON

skeletal crate   Skeletal Crates

Designed to protect artwork during transport or storage in the most basic container, this crate is often selected for an object with an unusual shape, dimension or weight. The crate is constructed with a platform bottom and dimensional lumber sides and top, with additional bracing as needed. Our ‘Travel Frame’ is selected when an especially fragile or high-value, two-dimensional work will not allow for material to come in contact with the art object.
