Custom Protection for Your Most Valuable Items

Lock In Custom Crating Services in Baton Rouge

You've inherited a piece of original artwork that measures five feet across, and standard boxes won't provide the protection it needs during a long-distance move. David Moving Company builds custom crates designed to protect art, antiques, electronics, glass, or uniquely sized items using professional-grade lumber, cushioning, and impact-resistant materials for maximum safety. Our crew measures each piece, cuts and assembles the frame on-site, and you can smell the fresh wood shavings as the crate takes shape around your valuable belongings. We serve Baton Rouge customers who need to protect delicate items from humidity or climate fluctuations, ensuring they arrive in perfect condition whether they're traveling across the state or overseas.

Custom crating is ideal for long-distance or international shipping, supported by NAVL global transport, and is often paired with oversized-item moving or high-value shipments. Our family-owned team ensures each crate is custom-fit and secure, with foam inserts and corner bracing tailored to the exact dimensions and weight of your item. Whether you're moving a grandfather clock, a glass-top table, or sensitive laboratory equipment, we provide the level of protection that standard packing materials simply can't match.

Secure your valuables with custom crating services in Baton Rouge and trust our team to build protection that lasts the entire journey.

Why Locals Choose This Option

The crating process begins with a detailed evaluation of the item—its size, weight, material, and any special vulnerabilities like glass panels or delicate finishes. The team then designs and constructs a custom wooden crate with internal bracing, foam padding, and moisture barriers as needed, creating a protective shell that absorbs shocks and prevents shifting during transit.

The family-owned team ensures each crate is custom-fit and secure, taking time to measure precisely and select materials that match the item's requirements. Once built, the crate is carefully loaded onto the transport vehicle, where it's secured to prevent tipping or sliding, whether it's heading across Louisiana or being shipped internationally through NAVL global transport networks.

Crating services are often paired with international moving, oversized-item moving, or high-value shipments, offering seamless coordination for complex relocations. For Baton Rouge customers, this service is especially valuable when protecting delicate items from humidity or climate fluctuations during long-haul moves, ensuring artwork, antiques, and electronics remain undamaged despite changing conditions.
