Mobile Packing Services FAQs
For large collections or estates, mobile packing offers a scalable, efficient solution. These questions explain how our mobile workshop operates, when it is the right choice for your project, and what capabilities we bring to your door.
What is the difference between onsite packing and mobile packing?
Mobile packing is designed for scale and complexity, not convenience. Onsite packing usually refers to soft-packing individual items. Mobile packing is a scalable solution where we bring a workshop to you, including saws, drills, and bulk lumber, to fabricate crates or pack large collections on location.
Can you build crates at my location?
Yes. Our mobile packing team can fabricate custom crates at your residence or gallery. We just need a designated workspace (like a garage or loading dock) to handle the noise and dust.
Is mobile packing cost-effective for single items?
Generally, no. Mobile packing is most cost-effective for estates, large collections, or exhibitions where moving unpacked art to our warehouse would be too risky or expensive. For single items, standard onsite packing is preferred.
Do you handle inventory management during mobile packing?
Yes. We can photograph, measure, and tag items as we pack them, creating a detailed manifest that matches the physical crates.
Can you pack a library or archive onsite?
Yes. We have experience packing books, manuscripts, and archives using acid-free materials and organized cataloging systems to ensure order is maintained.
How quickly can you mobilize a team?
We typically need 3–5 days’ notice to prep materials and crew for a mobile packing deployment, depending on the scale of the project.
