Designed and Constructed at Our In-House Carpentry
Unlike traditional industrial workshops, our Atelier de Fabrication is a climate-controlled 'clean zone' right inside our facility in Hong Kong. We ensure that no dust, debris, or industrial contaminants enter the crate during construction.
Every crate is built to order using premium, sustainably sourced materials that meet global shipping regulations.
ISPM-15 & FSC Certified
Our plywood crates are constructed from FSC-certified wood, responsibly sourced within Asia to ensure a sustainable supply chain.
Sustainable Lining
We utilise inert, non-outgassing foams and archival barriers to ensure the crate interior never reacts with the artwork’s chemistry.
Advanced Shock & Thermal Insulation
What happens inside the crate is what saves the artwork. Our technicians calculate the specific density of foam cushioning based on the weight and fragility of the object.
To guarantee maximum protection, our crates have been tested and certified to meet ISTA 2A and ISTA 2B, according to their weights, performance standards.
Vibration Dampening
Multi-layered Ester and Plastazote foams to absorb high-frequency road and aircraft vibration.
Thermal Buffering
Integrated insulation layers to protect against the extreme temperature shifts of airport tarmacs.
Moisture Barriers
Utilising Marvelseal and silver-foil vacuum sealing for long-distance sea freight or high-humidity environments.
Protecting Art While Respecting the Planet
Our crates are designed for easy repair, extending their lifespan and supporting a more circular approach to art logistics.
Reusable Designs
We build crates intended for a lifetime of travel, not a single trip.
Eco-Materials
We have designed and developed a unique, structurally sturdy cardboard crate, perfect for short trips.

Measure. Build. Pack.
The Eythos advantage is our 'zero-risk' workflow. Our technicians measure the work in our storage, build the crate on-site, and pack it within our secure perimeter.
There is no third-party transport between the studio and storage, ensuring a single, unbroken chain of custody.
