Safe & Secure Packing
The Packaging Store provides custom packing and crating solutions for any items you need to ship. We use top-notch and secure packing and bracing materials to protect even the most delicate, valuable, and sensitive items during shipping.
Building a Shipping Crate
Our team designs and constructs shipping crates to ensure that oversized, heavy, or awkwardly shaped items are securely transported. We build crates based on the dimensions and specifications of your items, incorporating additional packing materials and space inside the crates for enhanced protection and safe delivery.
For the design, we make considerations such as:
- Interior clearance: Sufficient space around the item to accommodate necessary packing materials for optimal cushioning and support.
- Access: Features like detachable panels or doors to facilitate easier loading and unloading.
- Strength: The crate needs to be strong enough to withstand the weight of the item.
Shipping and Delivery
Based on the size, weight, and destination of your item, we will provide various shipping options. Once your items are shipped, you can track them to monitor their progress until they reach their destination.
