There are numerous objects that are too heavy, too fragile, too awkward or far too valuable to trust only cardboard for safe shipping. There is little doubt that cardboard is a tremendously versatile tool in shipping, however it has some limitations. A wooden crate will guarantee far more physical protection than the inferior cardboard alternative. Not only does a wooden crate provide superior strength and security, but also can indicate to the loading crew, this piece requires special handling. If you need help with setting up reliable transportation, we can help with that as well.
Boston Crating will put together the best plan for getting your goods to safely arrive at their destination. The style of crate will be determined by what the goods in transit are. Our crates are built according to the size, weight, value, and how the shipments are traveling. It’s also based on what functions the crate needs to provide.
Our team will determine what is required to meet the demands of the job. Then we will design and custom build a crate to fit the needs of the shipment. We are proud to say we build our crates in house. Unlike some companies who hire a very expensive national 3rd party company, we can control the cost and quality. By making smart choices about the design, structure, and function, we can assure success at the time of delivery.

Crating is the best method for protecting your fragile or high value items. Some items are just far too delicate to be shipped using standard shipping procedures. For instance marble by its nature is extremely prone to fracture. In order to be safely shipped, the stone will need reinforcement. And that is where the crate comes in. If it is not securely packaged in a wood crate, it will most likely arrive cracked.
Fine artwork is another item that really needs to be protected by a crate. Due to the high value and irreplaceable nature of these unique belongings, the utmost precautions need to be taken. While the risk of fracture is not the same, the need for extra physical protection is. The chance of damage is virtually eliminated when safely sheltered inside a solid crate.
