Dedicated crates
for every type
of art work

Every job is unique. That’s why, in our integrated carpentry workshops, each crate is designed specifically according to the specifics of the project.

Our specialist “art works” crating services recommend the type of crate depending on the work itself, the mode of transport, the distance to be travelled and the weather conditions expected during the journey, which can sometimes be extreme.

The design of our crate is also in line with a sustainable development approach, the fight against waste and budget control:

  • Use of the highest-quality and certified wood, guaranteeing a verified chain of custody.
  • Compliance with ISPM 15 phytosanitary standards and presence of the IPPC seal.
  • Waste management, dismantling the crate (metal, wood and foam handles) for sorting and recycling.

Our reusable crates

The use of reusable crates is particularly recommended when collecting temporary exhibitions and when transferring works. This system has 3 advantages:

  • The art works are perfectly protected by these very strong and isothermal crates.
  • The budget allocated to the crates falls because they are not made to order.
  • The use of reusable crates is part of an eco-responsible approach to environmental protection, as they avoid heavy consumption of wood.
