Shipping Modular Art Showcases

Shipping Your Modular Art Showcases From & To the UK

Shipping large and delicate modular art showcases requires careful planning and execution. Shipping International handles such shipments, ensuring your artwork arrives safely and on time. Expertise in both standard and out-of-gauge (OOG) shipments is offered.

 

Choosing the Right Shipping Method

A Full Container Load (FCL) shipment is generally recommended for modular art showcases. This offers the best protection and control over your cargo. Out of Gauge (OOG) handling will be necessary if your showcases exceed standard container dimensions. Shipping International will work with you to determine the most efficient and cost-effective method.

FCL Advantages:

• Enhanced protection against damage during transit.
• Greater security for your valuable artwork.
• Cost-effective for larger shipments.

OOG Handling: If your showcases are massive, specialized OOG handling will ensure safe loading and unloading.

Preparing Your Showcases for Shipment

Proper packaging is crucial to prevent damage. Shipping International recommends:

• Disassembly (if possible): Disassembling showcases into smaller components simplifies handling and reduces damage risk.
• Custom Crating: Invest in high-quality, custom-built crates. Shipping International can assist with sourcing crating services. 
• Protective Padding: Use ample padding (e.g., bubble wrap, foam) to fill gaps and prevent movement.
• Clear Labeling: Clearly label each crate with contents, destination, and handling instructions (e.g., "Fragile," "Handle with Care").
