Lightweight, foam-lined plywood crates for framed artwork and canvases. Strong enough for the courier, light enough to carry up the stairs — with sizes and prices right here, no quote forms.
Every ArtCrate is cut from lightweight plywood, screwed (never nailed) so it opens cleanly, and lined with foam to cushion corners and surfaces.
For glazed and framed pieces. Extra foam at the corners and a snug fit to stop movement in transit.
From £[PRICE]
For stretched canvases. Built with a stand-off so nothing touches the painted surface — even deep-edge canvases.
From £[PRICE]
For exhibitions and collections. Foam-divided slots keep several works upright and apart in one crate.
From £[PRICE]
No forms, no waiting for an email. Pick the size that fits your artwork (with frame) and order today. Something bigger? We build bespoke too.

Cut, lined and dispatched in [X] working days, flat-packed or assembled.
Slide the work in, screw the lid down, hand it to your courier.
Couriers charge by weight. A lighter crate means a smaller shipping bill — and a crate one person can lift.
Less weight on the scales, less on the invoice.
Rigid plywood panels on a braced frame.
Optional rope handles. No forklift needed.
Screw-fixed lids open cleanly for return trips.
Send sold work to collectors with confidence — and a crate that looks the part.
Standard sizes on repeat for exhibitions, loans and online sales.
Offer customers safe delivery of finished frames with trade pricing.
Moving house or lending a piece? Store and ship it safely.
Measure the outside of the frame (or canvas edge to edge) for width and height, and the deepest point for depth. Choose the size whose limits are equal to or larger than all three.
[CONFIRM: courier compatibility, and whether crates are ISPM 15 compliant for international shipping.]
[CONFIRM: assembled, flat-packed, or both — and delivery times for each.]
Yes. Lids are screw-fixed, so they open without damage and close again for the return journey.
