In the bustling heart of New York City, where art is as vibrant and diverse as the city itself, the need for expert crating services cannot be overstated. At Arrow Express, we’ve dedicated over 25 years to perfecting the art and science of packing, crating, and shipping your valuable art pieces. Our crating service in NYC is tailored to meet the unique demands of each artwork, ensuring that your masterpieces arrive at their destination in pristine condition.
Crafting Protection for Your Art
Our in-house crate shop stands at the core of our crating service. Here, we fabricate solid hardwood crates, custom fine art travel frames, and shadow boxes, each designed to offer unparalleled protection for your art. Our commitment to quality and safety is evident in every crate we construct, all of which are ISPM-15 compliant and meet the rigorous standards required for international transport.
But we don’t stop at wood. Recognizing that some pieces require different approaches, we also offer double and triple wall corrugated crates. These alternatives are designed specifically for the specialty freight industry, offering a lightweight yet sturdy option for art transportation. Every corrugated crate is shrink-wrapped and weather-resistant, strapped securely to a pallet to ensure safe transit.
Tailored to Each Masterpiece
Understanding that every art piece is unique, our crating services in NYC are meticulously designed to cater to the specific needs of each item. Whether it’s a delicate painting, a large sculpture, or an intricate installation, we employ a range of high-quality materials and state-of-the-art crating methods. Our goal is to shield your artwork from environmental factors, vibrations, and shocks that it might encounter on its journey.
Our Comprehensive Crating Process
- Art Assessment: Every project begins with a thorough assessment of the artwork, taking into consideration its size, medium, material, and the journey ahead. This initial step ensures that we fully understand the needs of your piece.
- Custom Crate Construction: Drawing from our assessment, we construct a custom crate tailored specifically to your artwork. Our crates are designed to ensure stability, shock absorption, and climate protection during transit.
- Secure Packing Materials: We only use archival-quality, acid-free, and static-free packing materials to protect your art against environmental factors and handling. This careful selection of materials helps preserve the integrity of your artwork throughout its journey.
