Dear
Richard, I don’t know if you
remember us, we met at the AAM in One of our products, just
released, is a special container for the packing of paintings. (We had a
prototype with us in Ten years ago I developed
“the Turtle” for Hizkia Van Kralingen. After that I did a lot of
research on packing, developed “the eight step approach” (an approach
on packing) and gave several courses both national and international. Based on
the eight step approach we did a lot of risk assessments on the packing and
transportation of paintings and noticed that the available crates are very poor
on protection against shocks and vibrations. As specially the adjustable ones.
Because of that we developed a completely new container for the packing of
paintings. Based on Risk assessment ad our Eight step approach our focus was: -
a stable relative humidity -
a stable temperature -
a good protection against shocks -
a good protection against vibrations -
a reduction on the handling -
reusable -
easy to service - all within the new and to be expected Health and Safety regulations The result of this all is
the Pegasus Packaging 2-dimensional container. Pictures are attached. On this
moment Gerlach APS and the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam are testing this container.
The results are more then just good. For picture and more
information please feel free to contact me. Kind regards

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. Chair, PACIN |
