Wooden Crate For You Artwork

Have you ever known this?

A crate, or wooden packaging for storing artwork, is one of the key protective shields for your valuable art pieces. Just imagine the level of concern when transporting art internationally whether it’s for import, export, or long-term storage. How much do you worry about its safety?

What is fumigation?

When importing or exporting goods, including artworks, many countries abide by international agreements to prevent the spread of insects or pests to storage areas or destination countries. Fumigation involves applying heat or specific chemicals to wooden packaging materials such as crates, wooden pallets, or barrels. This process eliminates or minimizes the risk of pests hitching a ride with your shipment. It must be handled by certified experts under legal regulations.

Why use wooden crates?

Transporting any item over a distance can expose it to risks from environmental factors, especially when it comes to delicate artworks. This is why proper packing is essential for safe handling and transport. Wood is an ideal material for this purpose, it’s widely available, affordable, and reusable, aligning with carbon footprint reduction goals. However, since wood can harbor insects, it’s important to properly treat it to prevent pest-related issues from spreading across borders.

Insurance & Tracking

Importing and exporting artwork is more than just moving pieces from point A to point B. It’s a complex management cycle that requires specialists to handle each transportation case with precision. Art insurance is a niche area. The contracts and paperwork involved are often far more complicated than one might expect, and coordinating between multiple parties can quickly become a burden in your daily life.
