Art/Antique Crating, Packing & Shipping Services

With over 25 years of experience and a long history of customer satisfaction, Newport Pack & Crate is Southern California's premier choice for the secure, reliable packing and crating of art, antiques, furniture, and high value items. We have extensive experience working with museums, art galleries, collectors and individuals, ensuring the safe transportation of their priceless valuables. Our high quality, custom designed crates and boxes can be engineered and manufactured to your exact specifications in order to best protect your precious cargo. We can also arrange shipping to almost anywhere in the world; we partner with nationwide and international shipping companies to coordinate cost-effective, efficient and reliable shipments that depart promptly and arrive on time.

Whether you're shipping paintings, sculptures, or family heirlooms, our skilled crating specialists are experts in handling and packing all kinds of artwork, antiques and high value items with the utmost care, including delicate and oddly shaped items. Our custom crating options include precious artwork crates and picture frame crates, a safe and reasonably priced solution for framed artwork that requires more protection than a corrugated crate can provide. We'll assist you throughout the packing and shipping process and can even accommodate unique specifications such as extremely fragile or temperature-sensitive items. We will use every appropriate safety measure, such as packing your artwork in injection foam and installing ShockWatch Tilt Indicators and/or other indicators for tilting, temperature, impact and more to ensure proper handling.

For your convenience, we can pack and crate your items at your location, or we can pick them up to pack and crate them at our facility. We can also drop off containers at your location if you prefer to pack your own items. We have thorough knowledge of international shipping standards including the ISPM 15 heat treatment requirement, and we comply fully with all West Coast Lumber Board regulations. Insurance is available for your item while in transit or in storage. Call today—we offer free consultations, and our services are available after hours, weekends, and holidays by arrangement.
