What we do
Six things, and all of them carefully.
Packing, crating and moving — for a single painting, a workshop of machinery, or a whole office.
Pack, Crate, Move Fine Art
Packing, crating and moving as a single service, by people who do only this.
Soft Pack Paintings
Wrapped and edge-protected for the moves that do not need a crate.
Custom Built Crates
Built to the object, not to a standard size: foam cradles, timber blocking and batten bracing included.
Load & Off-load Containers
Loading and off-loading, with our forklift on site, or transport arranged to yours.
Office & Residential Moves
The same care that goes into a crated artwork, applied to a whole office or home.
Specialist Assignments
Pianos, antiques, instruments and sensitive machines, dismantled, packed, crated and reassembled.
The question we get asked
Why is it important to use a fine art moving company?
Using a fine art moving company is crucial when moving art, as they have specialized expertise, equipment, and experience to ensure the safety and preservation of valuable pieces. They can handle various types of art, minimize the risk of damage during packing, crating, and transportation. Entrusting your art to a professional moving company can provide peace of mind and ensure safe arrival at their destination.

Built here
Every crate is built to the item inside it.
Plywood, pine battens, foam cradles and timber blocking, cut to the object rather than to a standard size. They go out stencilled in red, and they come back.
Recent work
Sculpture, paintings, and the crates they travel in.
Every photograph on this site is PackArt's own work.
