Sculptures

UNIQUELY SKILLED TO HANDLE ARTWORK

Sculpture Shipping Services

We know you have choice when it comes to selecting a company for packaging and shipping sculptures. As you evaluate providers, it is important to keep in mind that many internet-based and retail pack and ship centers don’t have the knowledge or expertise to handle one-of-a-kind items that require special expertise and attention. In fact, many shipping agencies use prefabricated boxes and if your item fits, it ships! This method may work for everyday items, but not an original artwork such as a glass or hand-carved statue.

For companies unfamiliar with the rigors of ocean shipping, the biggest “threat” to a shipment can occur before it even sets sail. Proper packing, using the right wooden crates and an understanding of customs will help ensure valuable assets survive ocean transport.

Don’t trust shipping a sculpture to just anyone. Call the experts!

We don’t just place your artwork in a box or provide you with do-it-yourself packaging materials and a shipping label. Craters & Freighters provides services that are tailored to your item’s specific needs to ensure safe and secure packaging and shipping.

How to Ship a Sculpture

Craters & Freighters is a leading single-source provider of custom packing, crating, and shipping solutions for sculptures. The more information we have regarding your item, the better we can assess its needs and provide the best cushioning, container, and transportation options.

The value, pickup, delivery, insurance requirements, and your budget will determine what type of container is used. In some instances, a custom-made corrugated container will provide sufficient protection, while high-value, antique, or fragile sculptures may require a custom-designed wood crate.
