We would like to introduce a case of export packaging for a model ship displayed in our own building, from a trading company in Tokyo. We conducted a preliminary inspection of the model ship to take measurements of the actual item and to check whether the model ship was securely fixed to the pedestal. Since the model ship was housed in a showcase with four legs attached to the pedestal, we prepared load-bearing materials to lift the four legs, resulting in a special packaging method that secured the item at waist height. Furthermore, by using a wooden box with a top frame, we proposed a packaging design that creates a sealed structure on the inside to prevent moisture. 【Information about the packaged item】 ■Destination: USA ■Product Name: Model Ship ■Size: 2150×980×1330mm ■Weight: 140kg ■Quantity: 1 unit *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.

Here is a case study of packaging a "lion statue." We initially planned to use a wooden crate for packaging, but to resolve the issue of exceeding 3.8m in height, we proposed skid packaging. One important consideration was to design the packaging to withstand the weight of 2000kg per statue. On the day of the packaging work, since we were close to a local company, we went to the site to apply the skid packaging. Although it was possible to secure the statue with wood due to its nature, we opted for a packaging method that used Everlush to secure both the skid and the statue. The packaging work was successfully completed that day. 【Information about the packaged item】 ■Destination: Singapore ■Product Name: Lion Statue ■Size: 4700×2000×2300mm ■Weight: 2000kg ■Quantity: 1 piece *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case of on-site packing work conducted at an exhibition venue in Tokyo. We focused on how to efficiently design and carry out the work within limited space and time. For the movable parts and very fine details of the models to be packed, we processed cushioning materials on-site on the day of the work and carried out the packing. We also held close discussions with the removal contractors at the exhibition venue to ensure efficient operations. Additionally, to minimize stress on the products during transportation from the exhibition venue, we consistently carried out the wooden box packing work on-site and conducted the transportation operations. [Information about the items to be packed] ■ Product name: Jacket model and others (3 types in total including a ship) ■ Size: h45.0cm × w85.0cm × d45cm and others ■ Weight: approximately 25kg and others ■ Quantity: 3 items *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.

This is an example of a customer who previously requested a painting and this time requested a model of a glass case. Initially, when we were contacted, we discussed a large glass case model, but I was relieved to find that the size was smaller than expected. However, it was still glass, so we carefully wrapped the glass parts with tissue paper, craft paper, and air bubble wrap. We also used tissue paper to secure the model inside to prevent movement, and after packaging, it was safely transported to the customer. [Information about the packaged work] ■ Product Name: Model in Glass Case ■ Size: 300×200×450 ■ Weight: Approximately 10kg ■ Quantity: 1 piece *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case of packaging and transporting a spear and other artworks from a certain exhibition room in Tokyo to a museum located about 20 km away in the Tokyo suburbs. Since the spear features mother-of-pearl inlay, we cannot touch the shell parts on the surface of the spear, so we used cotton bedding and special cushioning materials to package the other parts. To further mitigate the risks during transportation, we used cotton bedding to package the bottom of the cardboard used for packaging. 【Information about the packaged artwork】 ■Product name: Spear ■Size: H 1800cm × W 35cm × D 35cm, etc. ■Weight: Approximately 5kg, etc. ■Quantity: Spear and several other items *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.
