How we build a custom crate for freighting
Posted on Sun, Sep 20, 2009
There are some very basic questions you need to ask before you
contract someone to build a crate.
You will need ask if they can supply the wood for both domestic and
international shipping.
Can they build reusable crates?
Do they have experience with both large and small items.
Have they crated delicate or valuable items in the past? Be sure and
ask for examples of these items.
Do they know the proper amount of padding to add inside the crate for
different types of items. High value painting with glass require
different preparation and padding from artistic statutes.
How do they bind the crate? Do they nail it or use screws to close the crate? Do they secure the crate with metal banding?
