BESPOKE PACKING SOLUTIONSAt PACK & SEND Oxford, we offer fully customised packing solutions for everything from single antique items to entire vintage collections. Whether you’re shipping antique furniture, fine art, or delicate heirlooms, we ensure your items are professionally protected for safe transport, locally or worldwide.
Our Oxford team builds tailor-made wooden crates using materials like plywood, MDF, or OSB, depending on the specific requirements of your item. These crates are ideal for antique removals, vintage furniture delivery, and shipping antiques across the country or overseas.

At PACK & SEND Oxford, we specialise in professional antique furniture movers and packing services, offering complete protection for fragile and high-value items during transit. While we carry a wide range of pre-made boxes in various strengths, we also offer custom-made cartons tailored to the exact size and structural needs of your antique or collectible.
Each carton is constructed using reinforced board and sealed with high-strength adhesives and tape, making it ideal for antique furniture transport, vintage shipping, and moving antiques across the country or internationally.
Our Oxford service centre also offers the Foam-In-Place packaging system—a premium option for shipping antique furniture, china, or delicate glassware. This innovative technique involves injecting a safe, non-reactive foam that expands and hardens around the item inside a crate or box, creating a custom-shaped protective cocoon.
This method is especially valued by vintage movers, collectors, and auction houses, as it reduces movement and absorbs shock, vibration, and compression during transit. It’s the best way to ship highly fragile antiques, irregularly shaped, or sensitive to pressure.
Plus, the foam is ultra-lightweight, helping reduce freight and shipping costs while maintaining superior protection, making it a top choice for those searching for the best antique shipping companies in Oxford.
