"The Transit Crate is designed for strength using minimal construction materials. This type of plywood crate is durable enough to last through multiple uses and is good for flatwork and small- to medium-sized objects. The Classic Storage Crate features additional structural elements beyond those included in the Transit Crate, including interlocking wall and corner battens. This crate is well suited for collection items that will travel by truck or air, or for storage in a climate-controlled facility. Crozier builds its storage crates to protect your art from any abuse it might face while in transit. Both Transit and Storage crate styles are competitively priced, appropriate for shipping via air freight or shuttle, and are designed to last for many years of travel. The Crozier Series Museum Crate is best for objects requiring precise technical care. This crate features the highest level of craftsmanship and protective measures and meets the demands of traveling exhibitions. Its shell includes heavy-duty hardware and airtight seals, making it ideal for long and short-term use and international shipping or storage. "

Each of our crates are made from certified sustainably sourced wood and we plant a tree for each crate we make. Crozier's crating experts are always looking for new and more sustainable materials and construction methods. Whenever possible, we use recycled and recyclable packing materials and have a program for recycling scraps and used foam packing materials. Look for more sustainable options in the near future!
