crating
Putting in boxes
Crating is the act of packing something into a crate, typically for shipping, storage, or protection during transport.
The term applies especially to fragile, valuable, or oddly shaped items that need more protection than standard boxes provide: The museum spent weeks crating the sculptures for their overseas exhibition.
Professional crating services build custom wooden frames around artwork, machinery, or antiques to ensure safe arrival.
