Custom Packing & Crating Designed for Protection

Large and delicate artworks require more than standard packaging. At ShipLink Ltd, every piece is assessed individually so we can design the most appropriate level of protection. Our team builds bespoke wooden crates and uses museum-grade materials to stabilise, cushion and secure each item during handling and transport. From the moment your artwork is collected until it reaches its destination, every stage is carefully planned to minimise risk, reduce movement, and protect against vibration, temperature change and accidental impact. The result is a packing solution created specifically for your piece — not a one-size-fits-all box.

What our packing includes

Our packing process combines strength, cushioning and environmental protection in a single, carefully engineered solution. We construct custom wooden crates to fit the exact dimensions of the artwork, then line them with acid-free wrapping and specialist cushioning materials to prevent abrasion or chemical damage. Additional reinforcement around edges, corners and frames helps protect vulnerable areas, while internal shock-absorption reduces vibration during long journeys. Where needed, we add moisture barriers and climate-control options to safeguard sensitive surfaces and finishes, ensuring that each item arrives in the same condition it left — safe, secure and fully protected.
