we have sent panels overseas in our
standard cases, but we glaze, and seal them with Marvel seal, include artsorb
panels and a DATA logger which monitors temp and humidity throughout the
trip. This sandwiched package is put into the frame, often requiring a build
out to the verso of the frame. We have not had a problem with this.

Just so everyone
will know, I'm asking this question because I've been asked to do so.
We are organizing
a traveling exhibition and several of the objects are oil paintings on wooden
panel and oil on copper plate. The value of these objects requires that we
indemnify them and I was wondering if there has been any new crate technology
that will create a more stable environment for these delicate objects? Standard
wooden crates can be made stable enough to travel these objects, but for the
sake of indemnification, I wanted to see if anyone had an alternative to the
standard wooden crate. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
