Time to Build A Custom Crate? 30 Yr Old Houston Co. Offers Advice
Posted on Fri, Dec 16, 2011
As the economy improves, more businesses are purchasing art work and sculptures to decorate homes and offices.
In Houston, we have noticed purchases that are being shipped to both the east and west coast and worldwide. The prices in the Houston market are competitive, and some times are less than east coast prices.
With the cost savings in the purchase price, purchasers are inquiring about the best shipping method.
Depending on the composition and price of the artwork, custom crating is often recommended.
When looking for a custom crater, you need to look for experienced artwork shippers. Can the company pick up your purchase and take it to their warehouse to measure and weigh the art work?
Is the custom crate built on site, or farmed out to another company? Has the company you chosen discussed the details of the packing with you? Has the company you chosen discussed bracing the art work with in the crate?
If the piece of artwork needs to go overseas, has the company you chosen discussed using the proper heat treated wood needed for international shipping?
Just because a company is capable of building crates, does not mean that they have experience with high value art work and sculptures.
Make sure your art work is valued for loss or damage during the shipping process.
