SPECIAL CARE FOR FRAGILE ITEMS

Individualized Attention to Ensure Safe Shipping

At Craters & Freighters, we understand the importance of properly handling, packing, crating, and shipping fragile, delicate items. We give the time and attention to detail needed on every shipment to ensure safe arrival at the destination point.

Custom Fragile Shipping Process

When handling fragile assets, our packaging professionals inspect the items being shipped to evaluate packing, cushioning, and crating needs. Our services are different because we don’t simply place your item in a prefabricated box. We understand the hazards of the shipping process and pack and crate the item in the best way possible to ensure safe and stable transport.
