We protect your investment with engineering packaging solutions specifically designed for the transport of art. From large-format canvases to heavy sculptures, we manufacture certified custom-made crates. ISPM-15 that guarantee the integrity of each piece against the risks of international transit.
Why do collectors and galleries in Miami choose Crating Express?
Our reputation in Miami-Dade is built on accuracy. We provide:
- Precision Carpentry: Sturdy boxes to ensure your shipment is secure. Reusable boxes are also available.
- Total Security: Internal locking and reinforcement to prevent millimeter movements.
- Local Service: Strategic location near Miami's main ports and airports.
International Certification (ISPM-15)
Avoid delays or rejections at customs. We use heat-treated (HT) pine wood with official certification, strictly complying with phytosanitary regulations for shipments worldwide.
Royal Protection Engineering
We don't make generic boxes. We analyze weight and fragility to design internal structures that absorb impacts and vibrations, keeping the artwork intact from its departure in Miami to its final destination.
Humidity and Climate Control
The Miami environment can be lethal. We integrate vapor barriers, industrial films, and desiccants to protect delicate surfaces (canvases, metals, or wood) from mold and corrosion.
Don't risk the value of your art with improvised solutions.
At Crating Express, we combine the strength of wood with the care your artwork deserves. Let us give you the peace of mind of flawless delivery.
How much does a wooden box for a painting cost in Miami?
The cost depends on the dimensions, weight, and fragility of the part. At Crating Express, we provide FREE customized quotes that include structural design, internal protective materials, and ISPM-15 compliance.
Can you manufacture reusable wooden boxes for exhibitions?
Yes, we design boxes with locking systems that allow the box to be opened and closed multiple times without losing its structural integrity, ideal for artists and galleries participating in tours or art fairs.
What is the difference between a standard "crate" and one for art?
An art crate includes superior internal planning. While an industrial crate only seeks containment, an art crate includes shock absorption, abrasion protection layers, and often internal air chambers to mitigate thermal changes.
