Serving Our Customers
We Are The Custom Experts

Trusted by Discerning Clients

For nearly three decades, we have met custom shipping needs with consistent, high-quality professional packaging and worldwide transportation services. Craters & Freighters is trusted by both consumers and businesses to protect their assets with our unique portfolio of services.

Products are generally handled many times in the course of shipping and are subject to multiple hazards during transportation, from shock and vibration to rough handling, compression, puncture, and abrasion. Often, they will travel with a myriad of other products when transported by LTL, LCL, or Air Freight.

Uncommon Attention to Detail

Our main objective is for your items to arrive safe, damage-free, and on time. To achieve that goal, we apply our proven expertise to every shipment. Our team of experts evaluates your product, mode of transport, pickup location, delivery destination, and any special handling requirements before we begin the container and cushioning design and build process that will ensure your assets are protected.
