Packing, Crating & Freight Services
Packing
Box & Palletize
Perfect for multiple orders, Box & Palletize is a method used to pack multiple units in boxes and secure to wooden pallets, avoiding the rigors of handling by human hands. This method has proven to be extremely cost effective and safe.
Individual & Small Quantity Packing
Packing smaller quantities is an art and usually requires additional padding as well as some forethought into the framing requirements. Most freight carriers have restrictions when shipping glass packed in cartons. In these instances, our staff is trained to recommend in advance that all artwork be framed with acrylic glazing to avoid breakage and potential damage to artwork. Special care is always taken to envelop the artwork with materials that keep it suspended and padded on all six sides of a carton.
Flat Pack & Tube Pack
For orders of printed flat artwork, Monarch also offers 2 separate types of packing, Flat Pack for volume orders and Tube Pack for smaller quantity orders.
Crating
When shipping extremely large artwork and/or mirrors, as well as irreplaceable or original artwork, Crates become a necessity. At Monarch we recognize the need to fulfill all packing requirements. We not only use the finest wood for crating, but we also employ experienced carpenters to build our crates. Likewise, if Certified/Fumigated crates are required for International Shipment, Monarch and its affiliates offer this service.
Freight Services
As a benefit of our volume at Monarch, our freight carriers allow us the largest discounts available in the freight industry. Whether shipping a single carton or several pallets, we require several quotes from competing carriers that insure the most cost effective pricing for your projects.
