Las Vegas Midnight Crew....
















It's all about the customer.... We had a Saudi Prince staying at the MGM Resort and Casino who needed us to show up at 8pm to pack all their belongings purchased while in Las Vegas.... Nothing special about the items just the time they wanted us there..... Here are a few photos of the guys walking down the hallways at the MGM Hotel..... Notice that we moved the Randy's Donut from LA to Las Vegas.... You won't see it anymore in LA........

Art Work Moving/Storage





Artwork can be one of the most challenging parts of a move. High value and fragile artwork needs to be protected during the transportation process. We ship high value or particularly fragile artwork in quality wood crates. Vault type crates are ideal for long term storage. We offer many shipping options. We pick up and safely pack your valuable artwork.

We make our own crates and can offer a vault type crate that can hold many paintings. These can be made top or side load or even both. This method is one of the safest ways to store or move artwork. We make quality wood crates any size.

For Oil paintings we suggest a paper mat first then Styrofoam or corrugated corner protectors. You want to avoid any plastic making direct contact with the surface of an oil painting these remain volatile and can react to bubble wrap and other plastics. Honey comb or Styrofoam is a good safe material for the inner box.

Acrylic and water colors typically wont react with stretch film or bubble wrap but care should be used when storing water colors as long term these can be effected by acid based paper used as packing material. Paper mats are safe we suggest you avoid any printed paper. Printed newspaper can damage a water color if there is contact with the surfaces also some paper can color prints even if there is no direct contact.

For glass fronted artwork its a good practice to use painters tape or masking tape on the glass front several strips in both directions. This is in case the glass brakes during transit ,the glass will stay in a smaller amount of pieces this can help protect your artwork. Note that masking tape can leave a residue but this can be removed with alcohol. Painters tape will not leave any residue if removed within a few weeks.

We can pick up and pack your artwork or advise you how to do it. We have a large in stock box selection and are open 7 days. Box Brothers Redondo Beach.
