Custom Crating: Protecting Art, Antiques, and Delicate Treasures

When it comes to moving or storing art, antiques, and delicate valuables in Atlanta, there’s no room for compromise. Your prized possessions—whether family heirlooms, cherished artwork, or rare collectibles—deserve the highest level of protection during transport or storage. That’s why custom crating has become an essential service for homeowners, artists, galleries, and collectors throughout Metro Atlanta. At Another Perfect Move, we specialize in custom crating solutions that ensure your treasures arrive safely, no matter the distance or season.

Why Custom Crating Is Essential for Valuables

Unlike everyday household items, fine art and antiques are often irreplaceable, fragile, and highly sensitive to environmental changes. Even a minor bump, drop, or shift in temperature can cause irreversible damage. Generic boxes or standard packing materials simply don’t offer the protection these items need, especially during Atlanta’s unpredictable winters or humid summers.

Custom crating involves designing and building a crate that precisely fits each item’s dimensions and vulnerabilities. The result is a snug, supportive, and climate-conscious enclosure that minimizes movement, absorbs shocks, and shields against moisture or dust. With the holidays and busy moving season approaching, this service becomes especially critical for families and businesses participating in seasonal moves, gallery exhibitions, or estate transitions.

What Items Benefit from Custom Crating?

• Artworks: Paintings, framed prints, photography, and sculptures, especially those with glass or ornate frames.
• Antiques: Clocks, porcelain, silverware, and other fragile, high-value collectibles.
• Delicate Furniture: Inlaid tables, carved chairs, or unusual shapes that don’t fit typical boxes.
• Musical Instruments: Pianos, stringed and brass instruments, or custom audio equipment.
• Electronics and Heirlooms: Vintage record players, rare books, memorabilia, and more.

How the Custom Crating Process Works

At Another Perfect Move, we make the process as streamlined and worry-free as possible:

• Consultation and Assessment: Our specialists visit your Atlanta home or business to survey your items, measure dimensions, and assess risks.
• Design and Material Selection: We choose the right materials for each item, from reinforced wood and metal brackets to foam padding and shock-absorbent lining.
• Custom Build and Packing: Our skilled craftsmen construct each crate to fit your treasures perfectly. We carefully wrap, cushion, and secure items inside the crate, providing maximum stability.
• Safe Handling and Transport: Whether moving locally in Atlanta or preparing for long-distance or international relocation, we ensure your custom-crated items are loaded, transported, and unloaded with precision.
