Paul,
Would you tell me what type of data loggers you've used and where you're
purchasing them?
Thanks,
David

Richard,
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.

Subject: New crate technology

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.
