Custom Crating andSpecialty Packing ThatProtects the Irreplaceable
Whether it is a delicate antique or a one-of-a-kind piece of art,we use meticulous techniques to make sure it arrives exactly as it left.Premium Protection for Irreplaceable Belongings
When it cannot be replaced, you need a mover who treats it like their own. Our handcrafted crates, precision padding, and specialty packing techniques protect your fine art, antiques, family heirlooms, and delicate valuables from the moment we arrive to the moment they are uncrated. Every detail is planned, measured, and secured so your most meaningful items travel safely, no matter the distance.
Crating
Some items deserve more than a box and bubble wrap. When you are moving fine art, antiques, sculptures, delicate glass, oversized pieces, or priceless heirlooms, custom crating becomes the line between peace of mind and permanent damage. This is where true protection starts.
Why It Matters
When a century old mirror cracks or a handcrafted piano leg splinters in transit, there is no second chance. These pieces carry history, emotion, and value that cannot be replaced. Proper crating protects them from impact, pressure, humidity shifts, and the unpredictable moments that happen during any move.
Custom Services
At Samonas Prime Moving, every crate is built with purpose. We design and construct custom wooden crates shaped to the exact dimensions of your item and pack them using museum level techniques. Fine art, antiques, fragile collections, heirlooms, taxidermy, chandeliers, instruments, and more travel safely because they are secured correctly from the start. Whether you are moving locally, regionally, or across the country, our specialty packing and crating team treats your valuables with the precision and respect they deserve.
Luxury Specialty Packing and Custom Crating
for Fine Art, Antiques, and High Value Items
What Are Specialty Items?
Specialty items are the pieces in your home that deserve more than standard packing. They are rare, valuable, delicate, or architecturally unique items that require white glove handling and custom built protection. These belongings carry prestige and often deep personal meaning, which is why they demand elevated care during transport.
How You Know an Item Requires Specialty Packing or Crating
Luxury grade protection is recommended when an item is:
- One of a kind, irreplaceable, or holds significant value
- Oversized, fragile, or custom shaped
- Sensitive to temperature, vibration, or humidity
- Too delicate or complex to be moved without professional equipment and expert technique
Examples of High Value Specialty Items
These are the items homeowners trust us with when only precision handling will do:
- Grand pianos, rare instruments, and performance level audio components
- Fine art, gallery pieces, framed mirrors, and hand carved sculptures
- Antique furniture, chandeliers, and vintage luxury decor
- Refrigerators, climate controlled appliances, and wine storage units
- Executive office equipment, computers, and other sensitive electronics
- Vehicles: all high end auto transport is referred to vetted partners
- China, crystal, porcelain, and curated fragile collections
- Boutique gym equipment, arcade units, pinball machines, and safes
Specialized Custom Crating Services
Our custom crating process begins with a detailed, hands on assessment of your piece. We engineer every crate to match the exact dimensions, weight, and fragility of the item, using premium materials and museum level packing techniques. From oversized artwork to antique furniture and delicate sculptures, each crate is designed and built to withstand the demands of any transport route, ensuring your most valuable belongings travel with total protection and confidence.Precision Built Crates for Exceptional Protection
Types of Crates
Every item deserves a crate designed specifically for its protection. Nothing is generic, nothing is pulled from a shelf, and nothing is left to chance. Each crate is engineered to safeguard fine art, antiques, and high value pieces with the exact level of support, cushioning, and structure they require.
Custom Wooden Crates
Our premium wooden crates are fully reinforced and built to withstand weight, movement, and long distance transport. These crates offer the highest level of structural protection for heavy, fragile, or irreplaceable items.
Ideal for: antique furniture, museum quality artwork, framed pieces, pianos, luxury decor
Slatted Crates
These open sided crates allow airflow and controlled visibility while still delivering strong, stable support. They are perfect for items that require breathability or temporary access without removing the protective structure.
Ideal for: select artwork, temperature sensitive pieces, specific plant relocations
Corrugated Crates
Made from double or triple wall corrugated material, these crates are lightweight, recyclable, and far stronger than standard cardboard. They offer a sleek, secure solution for delicate pieces that do not require heavy wood construction.
Ideal for: electronics, televisions, small framed art, mirrors, sensitive household pieces
Insulated Crates
For items vulnerable to heat, humidity, or vibration, our insulated crates provide a controlled environment that maintains stable internal temperatures and adds another layer of premium protection.
Ideal for: fine art, high end instruments, select electronics, climate sensitive valuables
Each crate is meticulously built around your item’s exact specifications. We never use prefabricated sizing, because your fine art, antiques, and heirlooms deserve protection made just for them.
