When you need to move something valuable, fragile, or oversized in the Philadelphia area, off-the-shelf packaging won't cut it. Whether it's heavy equipment, fine art, or sensitive electronics, custom crating gives your shipment the protection it needs to arrive safely. From manufacturers to galleries to tech companies, businesses across the region count on professional packing to get the job done right. Navis Pack & Ship of Philadelphia designs and builds crates tailored to your items and your shipping needs, giving you one less thing to worry about

Why Philadelphia Businesses Rely on Custom Crating Services

From the industrial corridors of Northeast Philly to the galleries and institutions along the Parkway, businesses in the Philadelphia region ship a wide range of high-value, sensitive, and oversized items every day. Whether it’s machinery headed to the Midwest, medical equipment bound for a hospital in Boston, or artwork going from Center City to Chelsea, one thing is clear: off-the-shelf packaging isn’t enough. Custom crating is the reliable way to protect what matters

  • Protection for High-Value Assets: If you're moving delicate lab instruments from University City, sculptures from Old City galleries, or manufacturing components out of the Navy Yard, custom crates are built to fit and protect each item with the right cushioning, bracing, and materials.
  • Compliance and Insurance: Whether you're shipping out of state or overseas, custom crating helps you meet freight regulations and insurance requirements, avoiding delays and costly claims.
  • Brand Reputation: How your shipment arrives reflects on your business. Damaged goods or sloppy packing can hurt client trust. A secure, professionally crated delivery tells your customers and partners you take quality seriously.

When Should Commercial Clients Choose Professional Crating in Philadelphia?

Not every shipment needs a custom-built crate, but for many Philadelphia businesses, certain situations call for the expertise only Navis Pack & Ship can provide. Here’s when you should consider professional crating:

  • Shipping Fragile or Irreplaceable Items: Museums, galleries, and corporate collectors in the Philadelphia area rely on custom crating for artwork, antiques, and rare artifacts. Our art shipping services are designed for these exact needs.
  • Heavy or Oversized Equipment: Manufacturers and medical facilities in Philadelphia, Allentown, and Reading often need to transport large machinery or sensitive instruments. Custom crating provides the strength and support these items require.
  • Complex or Multi-Component Shipments: Tech companies or auction houses moving multiple high-value pieces benefit from crates engineered for secure, organized transport.
  • International or Long-Distance Moves: When relocating beyond Philadelphia, custom crating maximizes protection against the rigors of transit.
