At POD Services, we specialise in professional art packing that protects, preserves, and prepares your artwork for safe transport or storage. Whether you’re relocating a private collection, touring an exhibition, or moving valuable museum pieces, our team provides tailored packing solutions designed to meet the highest conservation standards.
Located in Melbourne and servicing regional and interstate locations, we’re trusted by curators, collectors, artists and institutions for expert art packing services that ensure peace of mind at every step.
Our team brings extensive experience in handling all types of artwork, including:
Each item is assessed individually to determine the safest and most secure art packing method, ensuring protection against vibration, temperature changes, humidity, and impact.
When dealing with valuable or delicate artworks, only archival-quality materials will do. We use acid-free tissue, Tyvek, polyethylene foams and museum-grade padding to ensure every surface is protected during handling, storage, or travel. Our conservation-grade materials and packing methods align with industry best practices, making us a preferred partner for galleries, institutions, and collectors who prioritise artwork integrity.
Custom Crating, Stillages and Soft Packing
We offer a full range of custom art packing solutions, including:
All crates are constructed from ISPM 15-certified timber to meet international biosecurity regulations. We can also provide reusable crates and modular systems designed for touring exhibitions.
If you’re shipping artwork internationally, our team provides export-certified art packing to meet customs and quarantine requirements. We take care of the packaging compliance, ensuring your crate will meet international standards (IPPC) and reduce the risk of delays or damage. This is especially important for outbound loans, international art fairs, or gallery-to-gallery transport.
POD Services works alongside museums, galleries and exhibition teams to ensure packed artworks arrive in ideal condition for installation. We also support the packing and movement of artworks displayed in museum display cases, and assist with coordinated collection, de-installation, and reinstallation. As specialists in exhibition and display services, we understand how to minimise handling risks and provide tailored solutions for every stage of an artwork’s journey.
Although we’re based in Melbourne, our art packing services extend across Victoria and interstate. Whether it’s a single artwork or a full collection, we offer complete project management – from consultation and packing to logistics coordination and delivery.
We work with trusted freight providers to ensure your items are moved securely on time, and in perfect condition.
