Craftsmanship and Experience

Packing and Crating

Eastern Art Services is owned, operated, and staffed by experienced art handlers. Our experts are trained to handle works of various mediums and collections of all sizes using high-quality materials and industry best-practices.

Eastern Art Services is an extension of Barridoff Auctions, which has been a fixture in the fine art scene of Maine and New England for over four decades. Already experts in handling, packing, and storing art works sold at Barridoff Auctions, we welcome the opportunity to tailor our process to the unique needs of each client and collection.

Packing

Whether your works need soft-packing for local transport, a custom slipcase, or travel frame for safe handling on a regional or domestic shuttle, we bring decades of experience tailoring individual solutions. We proudly adhere to the museum quality handling and packing standards employed by industry leading institutions around the world. As such, all materials used are based on up-to-date research performed by conservation specialists. No expense is spared in guaranteeing the safety of your collection.

Crating

We are very happy to offer custom crating for domestic or international shipping. Whether you need a one-way plywood crate, a standard two-way art crate, a fully insulated MDO crate for a multi-venue traveling exhibition or ISPM-15 compliant crate for international travel we have the materials and expertise for the job. Each crate is designed and outfitted for the best protection possible. We are able to accommodate any and all requests: oz-clips, cavity packing, travel frames, double crating, ride-flat - whatever your needs may be, we can help determine the best solution for you and your works.
