Choosing the right partner to protect and move your valuable items is crucial, whether you’re shipping fine art, sensitive electronics, antiques, or heavy machinery. If you’re searching for custom crating services in California or beyond, look no further than Pacific Crating and Shipping (PCS)—a leader in the industry for more than four decades. Discover why PCS is the preferred choice for custom crating, and how our tailored solutions deliver unmatched safety, security, and peace of mind for every shipment.


Unmatched Expertise in Custom Crate Design


Every item tells a different story—and each one requires a unique approach to safe transport. Pacific Crating and Shipping’s experienced team understands that no two shipments are alike. Our custom crating specialists have years of hands-on experience designing and building crates for a wide range of items, from priceless artwork and museum pieces to commercial equipment and delicate laboratory instruments.


We begin every project with a thorough assessment of your item’s dimensions, weight, fragility, and transport requirements. Our knowledgeable staff then creates a custom design, selecting materials and features that offer optimal protection. This process ensures every crate is perfectly fitted to your goods, minimizing movement and damage during transit—an absolute must for local, interstate, or international moves.


Premium Materials for Superior Protection


At PCS, we believe quality starts with the right materials. Our custom crating solutions utilize premium-grade wood, industrial foam, moisture barriers, and shock-absorbing inserts tailored to your needs. For artwork and antiques, we might use acid-free paper, climate-controlled packing, or vibration-dampening packaging. For electronics and lab equipment, anti-static wrapping and form-fit foam ensure that sensitive components are insulated against static, shock, and shifting.


We also offer specialized options such as reinforced hardware, handles for safe lifting, tamper-evident seals, and crates designed to meet international shipping standards. Our commitment to superior materials directly translates to fewer claims, less transit damage, and maximum protection.


Cutting-Edge Customization for Every Industry


Pacific Crating and Shipping stands out with our ability to handle even the most complex requests. Need oversized crates for heavy machinery? Precision-fit packaging for intricate sculptures? Protective solutions for fragile glass or valuable collectibles? Our team leverages advanced technology and years of practical know-how to deliver a truly customized experience.

We understand regulatory requirements and ensure every crate meets the standards for domestic and global shipping.
