Crating and Shipping Services You Can Trust
When it comes to transporting valuable, heavy, or fragile goods, crating and shipping services play a vital role in protecting shipments from damage during transit. At Metropolitan Logistics, we specialize in providing reliable crating and shipping solutions for both domestic and international shipments, ensuring every item arrives safely and securely.
Our custom-built crates are designed to meet ISPM-15 export standards, making them suitable for both air and ocean freight. Whether you need art crating and shipping or industrial equipment packaging, our experienced team ensures that every shipment is professionally packed for maximum protection.
Why Proper Crating Matters
Improper packaging is one of the main causes of shipping damage. That’s why professional crating is essential. Our engineers evaluate weight, dimensions, fragility, and mode of transport to create a custom crating solution. Each crate is built with high-grade materials and reinforced corners to withstand vibration, stacking, and impact during transport.
For sensitive cargo such as artwork, electronics, or precision machinery, we use moisture barriers, foam cushioning, and shock-absorbing bases to ensure maximum safety.
