At PACK & SEND we pride ourselves on our ability to deliver our brand promise of shipping anything, anywhere – no matter how fragile, awkward in shape, large or valuable. A large part of our ability to deliver this promise is our expertise in packing; no matter how delicate or valuable the item may be and no matter what constraints are placed upon it by the shipping method.
All our crates are made to the individual specification for the job in hand. They are made from the highest quality kiln-dried timber all of which is 56/30 ISPM15 certified. Each crate can be lined with a variety of cushioning materials of various thicknesses and densities depending upon the nature of the item travelling. All can have wheels, hinges or handles if the job requires and polythene or waterproof lining if needed.
Where a lighter and more economical outer packaging is appropriate we can build to individual specification tri-wall or double-wall cases which saves weight whilst providing a robust outer casing.
For those items that must travel upright or on any particular axis, an A-Frame can be added to the crate in order to ensure the correct orientation of the crate is maintained whilst in transit.
This is what one customer had to say about their experience – ‘I had four small paintings sent from London to Perth, Western Australia. The process was exceptionally smooth and the paintings arrived quickly and very safely packed.’

The volumetric weight of a package serves as a gauge for its density. This, sometimes known as dimensional weight, is used by shipping and courier companies to determine how much a delivery will cost. The delivery charge will be based on the greater of the shipment’s actual weight or volumetric weight.
Shippers might therefore reduce the price of consignments as a result. It could be challenging to manage a shipment of hefty but light products if the entire weight is charged.
The final volumetric weight for your package will be influenced by the shipping service used and this range shows the top and bottom values for the dimensions entered. The weight calculation used can be clarified by the Service Centre during the estimate process.
