Fine art shipping isn’t just about getting pieces from point A to B—it’s about protecting something personal, creative, and often irreplaceable. In Phoenix, where desert landscapes inspire bold expression and the art scene stretches from Roosevelt Row to the galleries of Scottsdale, collectors need more than just a shipping provider—they need a logistics partner who understands what’s at stake. That’s where Navis Pack & Ship of Phoenix steps in, delivering expert packing, crating, and shipping solutions for transporting fine art with confidence and care.

The Phoenix Art Scene: Expansive, Eclectic, and Always in Motion

Phoenix has become one of the Southwest’s most dynamic art cities. Home to the Phoenix Art Museum, Heard Museum, and hundreds of independent galleries, the region fosters both contemporary experimentation and traditional craft. In Roosevelt Row, murals change with the seasons. Scottsdale’s ArtWalk draws visitors weekly. And across Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert, collectors are growing their collections and curating home and office spaces with intention. With so much movement across the Valley—and often beyond Arizona’s borders—safe and reliable fine art shipping is more important than ever.

Why Professional Fine Art Shipping Makes the Difference

Shipping art in the desert isn’t like shipping art in a temperate coastal city. Phoenix’s heat, dust, and long transit distances add unique challenges that demand specialized solutions. At Navis Pack & Ship of Phoenix, we’ve built our reputation on solving these challenges. Here's how we protect your investment:

  • Extensive experience with the Phoenix market and its environmental and logistical demands.
  • Professional packing for large and valuable works such as bronze sculptures, framed textiles, mixed media installations, and glass-based art.
  • Custom shipping crates designed to fit each piece's dimensions, materials, and weight.
  • Full compliance with national and international shipping requirements, including ISPM 15 standards for treated wood used in export crating.
  • Coverage options available to protect against unforeseen damage or loss during transit.
  • Ongoing communication and tracking from pickup to delivery, so you always know where your art is and what’s happening next.

Whether you're shipping a single piece to a gallery in New York or crating ten valuable paintings bound for a collector in Toronto, we handle each project with the same level of care and transparency.

Built to Fit: Custom Packing Solutions for Every Piece of Art

At Navis of Phoenix, every art crating or packing job begins with a close evaluation of each piece and their unique requirements. No two works are the same—and our process reflects that. We evaluate size, fragility, value, and destination before building a personalized plan. Our process includes:

  • Thorough assessments of all pieces to determine ideal packing strategies, including photo documentation of each item’s condition before the packing process begins.
  • Custom-built crates for oversized, sensitive, or high-value works.
  • We use blocking, bracing, and padded materials to shield items from bumps, shocks, and any handling during transport.
  • Expert documentation and labeling to ensure compliance and avoid delays.

From a canvas in a Tempe studio to a sculpture bound for Los Angeles, your art gets treated with expert-level attention every step of the way.

Service Across the Valley and Beyond

We serve collectors, curators, designers, and businesses across the greater Phoenix metro area—including Scottsdale, Glendale, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, and Paradise Valley. Our familiarity with local galleries, studio spaces, and urban logistics helps us navigate pickups and deliveries with ease. And with our national and global network, we make sure your artwork doesn’t just leave Phoenix safely—it arrives anywhere in the world exactly as intended.
