Full-Service Crating, Packaging & Logistics
With over 30 years of experience, Craters & Freighters delivers custom crating, packaging, and shipping services across all industries. We support both residential and commercial clients with:
- Custom Crating & Custom Packaging:
We design custom engineered wood crates with precise dimensions and advanced protection methods—including foam-in-place, custom cushioning, vapor barrier wraps, and anti-vibration engineering. We can create vibration-resistant packaging and custom crating for robotics prototypes, aerial drone systems, and other advanced-tech equipment developed at Redmond Ridge and nearby R&D facilities. Our crates are built to withstand rigors of transit stress and comply with both domestic and export standards - Domestic & International Shipping:
From full-container ocean freight to time-sensitive air cargo, we partner with trusted carriers to ship your items to most major domestic and international destinations. Clients in Redmond’s high-tech corridor—especially near the Microsoft campus and Overlake business district—often request international export support for tech equipment or LTL freight for trade shows and satellite offices. - White-Glove & Specialty Handling:
White glove shipping means we provide inside delivery, unpacking, debris removal, and light setup such as placement and basic unpacking, depending on the item and location. Whether moving custom furniture to a home in Education Hill or delivering vintage audio gear to a luxury property in Ames Lake, our team ensures your items are handled with the utmost care. - Industrial Equipment Shipping:
We specialize in logistics for heavy, sensitive, or high-value machinery and can support shipments of cleanroom filtration systems and precision CNC parts from Redmond-area manufacturers with engineered crating and blocking/bracing solutions. Our custom blocking and bracing techniques protect every component in transit.
- IT & Electronics Shipping:
Redmond’s tech sector demands precision. We’ve crated high-density server racks for datacenters near NE 76th Street and packaged network switches for relocation between satellite campuses. Anti-static wrapping, shock-absorbing foam, and rigid crates keep your assets secure from origin to destination. - Art & Antiques Packaging:
From original artwork to heirloom antiques, we’ve provided protective crating and climate-appropriate packaging for sculptures, paintings, and collectibles. One recent project involved crating a multi-panel mural for an installation at Redmond’s VALA Art Center, ensuring museum-level protection during transit. - Estate & Senior Relocation Services:
Families in areas like Grass Lawn and Bear Creek trust us with estate moves, downsizing support, and heirloom shipping. We’ve even coordinated the cross‑country shipment of a grandfather clock and fine china as estate items for a senior family relocating from Union Hill‑Novelty Hill. - ISPM-15 Export Compliance:
We produce heat-treated wood crates that meet ISPM-15 standards for international shipping, including proper documentation and marking. This is especially vital for Redmond businesses exporting electronics or equipment to Europe and Asia. We can support robotics equipment shipments—like prototypes or aerial systems—with full packaging, engineered crating, and customs clearance support for international destinations.
