ART-Courier employs a team of highly-qualified packers with many years of experience with Russia's leading state and regional museums. The professional packaging of museum valuables and antiques (graphics, paintings, photographs, items of decorative and applied art, jewelry, weaponry, installations etc.) meets all museum requirements and ensures the safekeeping of the artworks during shipping by any means of transportation.

Packing is done using only materials (corrugated cardboard, mica-coated paper, tissue paper, various types of tape, polyethylene film, baize, Tyvek etc.) that come with certificates confirming their high quality and meeting the most stringent requirements issued by museums for packaging art objects. For packing exhibits, special inflammable, chemical properties non-toxic materials are used, which do not have an aggressive, negative effect on the museum items.

ART-Courier has its own production of specialized packing crates (isothermical, semi-isothermical and shock-resistant), which fully meet museum requirements for ensuring the safety of art objects during transportation. Such specialized packing crates are made from waterproof plywood with thermal insulation materials (foil-faced foam, desiccant, and an interior lined with natural baize) and a rubber seal on the lid. The crates are coated with inflammable paint, have a special marking for valuable cargo transportation and fitted with shock detectors.

The company's physical address is home to a special guarded warehouse where all the different kinds of packing work take place, and where the packing containers that are essential for the transportation of valuable artworks are kept. The warehouse is fully equipped with the necessary proprietary specialized equipment (stackers, pallet trucks, platform and warehouse scales, trolleys, packing tables, trestles), which allows the company to carry out specialised orders both at ART-Courier's warehouse and on the customer's premises. A large transit zone inside the building allows all kinds of loading and unloading to be carried out in an enclosed space with a minimum temperature difference.
