Specialist Packing
The most crucial step in shipping musical instruments is safe and secure wrapping. Delicate parts, like a guitar’s neck and head, demand special attention as they’re highly vulnerable to damage from movement or impact during transit.
All musical instruments should be packed snugly into their containers, using packing materials and void fill to pad the most fragile areas and minimise internal movement. When you work with PACK & SEND Reading, we customise our wrapping solutions to offer maximum protection for your precious instruments.
Heavy or awkward shipments are no problem for us. If you’re looking to transport uniquely shaped musical instruments, from brass to percussion, PACK & SEND Reading handles the entire wrapping process for you, safeguarding your valuable items against scrapes and scuffs.
