When you have to move something that is extremely fragile, valuable, awkward in shape and size, or all of the above, you need to hire a professional packing and crating company to ensure the move goes well. Moving a sculpture, an heirloom chandelier, or designer lamps are all scenarios that require packing and crating in Houston or throughout the USA before the item gets shipped.
Chandeliers, for example, require custom crating for shipping. A packing company will hang the chandelier in a crate lined with Styrofoam. Then the chandelier can be braced for shipping or the packing company will fill the space with packing peanuts. This method works for all types of chandeliers—crystal, ceramic, wrought iron, wood, or even antler-shed chandeliers.
Artwork and statues are another example of a valuable that needs to be shipped with the utmost care. The amazing thing about sculpture is there are really no limits to what you can do when you work with 3D space. Sculptures naturally come in unique shapes and sizes. A packing and crating company will create a custom crate for a sculpture to ensure it arrives safely. If a work of art will be traveling from exhibit to exhibit, they can build a reusable crate for easy packing.
Lamps are also a fragile and common household item that need crating for shipping. You may be tempted to try to move these items yourself in your car to prevent them from breaking. But if you don't have the luxury of doing that, do not worry. Crating or custom boxing your lamps will get them to your destination even more safely than if you were to carry them yourself.
