Packing & Crating

Object-specific packing and crating using conservation-appropriate materials.

Protection designed around the object, not the box.

Structured teal, cream, and charcoal paint texture for packing and crating

Protection strategy

Packing matched to the artwork and route

Packing and crating are selected by medium, surface sensitivity, value, route, climate, handling environment, and destination.

Aiston prepares paintings, sculpture, antiques, mixed media, framed works, and delicate objects for transport, storage, viewing, and shipment.

Common Work

  • Local soft packing for fine art transportation
  • Reinforced packing for regional or domestic routes
  • Custom crates for international shipping, fairs, exhibitions, and high-value objects

Coordination

  • Material selection by object type
  • Condition checks, photos, labels, and documentation when needed
  • Unpacking requirements and destination handling notes

For cross-border shipments, see International Art Shipping. For packing decisions tied to recurring storage, release records, multi-property movement, or advisor coordination, see Collection Management.
