Fine Art Packing

EAS offers all levels of fine art packing for your artwork. From simple soft-packing to custom foam board boxes, we can provide safe and secure protection that covers your needs and your budget. We have a range of archival products and industry standard techniques that we use to ensure the highest level of care is taken when packing your items.

  • If transporting your art in one of our shuttle vans or trucks, we can provide simple poly (plastic) wrapping as well as bubble and card covering.

  • If you have fragile items being shipped via common carrier, let us help! We will pack your item based on its needs. All items will be double wrapped in bubble and card and packed within a standard or custom made cardboard box. We will also provide glass protection, non-stick plastic for paintings and additional foam padding for delicate items.

  • EAS does custom slipcasing on framed pieces that will need transported or stored.

  • For delicate canvases, EAS can provide custom-made shadowboxes so that the canvas face will stay protected.

  • For multiple items being crated, EAS can provide custom packing using a variety of materials depending on your needs. We have both archival and non-archival materials that we may utilize for intricate packing jobs.

Fine Art Crating

EAS offers custom crating crating solutions that are carefully crafted to fit your items with a high degree of precision. Our custom crates are constructed from high-quality plywood and are clearly marked with handling and orientation instructions. We utilize a variety of archival and non-archival materials as needed and provide a variety of custom options to meet your specific requirements.

  • For items in need of simple but strong protection, a travel frame is a great option for both transport or storage.

  • A one way crate is an economical option for getting excellent protection for your art piece at an affordable price. For pieces that are not meant to be stored long-term or re-shipped, a one-way crate is a perfect choice. This wooden crate consists of 1/4” plywood face and a ¾” plywood frame with wood handles and 1-2” ethafoam lining strips.

  • The standard art crate is perfect for many applications including long-term storage, transport, and traveling exhibitions. The standard art crate consists of ½” and/or ¾” plywood face with a ¾” plywood frame, wood battens, wood or metal handles, and 2” ethafoam lining on the interior. This crate can be modified using poly sheeting and/or Tyvek for moisture control as well as other options as needed.

  • The museum level crate includes all of the same properties as a standard art crate with a few key additions. These crates utilize additional packing, gasket seals, exterior weather-proofing, and bolt closures for secure lid closure. Additionally, they can be lined with poly or Tyvek and can be modified for any and all safety or security measures.
