Slot Crates and Traveling Frames for 2D Artwork Shipping
Maximum surface protection without heavy packing layers.
Made from lightweight materials with precision foam slots, Rebul Slot Crates are designed to secure each 2D artwork safely with minimal contact and zero shifting in transit or storage.
Built for Safe, Contact-Free Transport
Designed for Paintings, Prints, and Canvases
Our Slot Crates lock artworks at their strongest points, avoiding surface contact. Ideal for exhibitions, gallery moves, interstate deliveries, and international freight.
Expertly Engineered Rebul Solutions For 2D Artworks
The best shipping method is one where nothing is allowed to touch the surface of the work. This way only the very top and bottom 3cm of the artwork will make contact with a slippery polyethylene foam.
It means no further packing techniques are required by the packer, other than to slide the artwork into the crate. This can be used for one artwork in its own crate, or where there are multiple artworks consolidated in one crate.
Variations in this method are used when no aspect of the face of the artwork can come into contact with anything. The artwork is therefore suspended inside the crate.
This can be through the use of mending plates, which are screwed into the rear of the canvas frame, or if the artwork has Oz Clips, mounting internal bolt holes inside the crate.
Our painting crates keep artworks securely suspended or edge-supported to eliminate surface contact, reduce shock, and prevent vibration damage.
Perfect for transporting single or multiple paintings, each crate is custom-built to fit and protect fragile frames, canvases, or textured finishes; be it locally or internationally.
When multiple artworks need to travel together, Rebul consolidated crates deliver both protection and efficiency.
Designed for similar-sized paintings or flat works, each piece is separated by custom-cut slots or dividers to prevent contact, friction, or shifting. Ideal for galleries, collectors, and touring exhibitions, consolidated crates reduce freight costs and crate count.
