Every item presents different challenges. Size, weight, fragility, value, transportation method, and environmental conditions all play a role in determining how an item should be protected.
Craters & Freighters provides custom crating and packaging solutions designed around the specific requirements of your shipment. From sensitive electronics and valuable artwork to industrial machinery and oversized equipment, our experienced teams develop solutions that help protect your assets during handling, transportation, and storage.

Complete Crating & Packaging Solutions
Proper protection involves much more than simply putting an item in a box or adding extra padding. Our team evaluates the item, transportation method, destination, handling requirements, and potential risks before determining the appropriate crating and packaging solution.
For complex projects, our engineering capabilities and advanced design technology allow us to develop solutions based on the size, weight, center of gravity, fragility, and other characteristics of the item.
Once the appropriate solution has been determined, our specialists carefully package, cushion, block, brace, and secure your asset to help minimize movement, shock, vibration, moisture, and other risks encountered during transit.
