Yes- there are Fine Arts shippers. One example is Classic Fine Arts Packers, Hackensack NJ. I work for a museum that loaned some silver trophys to Tiffany and Co. for an exhibit. They were hand delivered, but were returned to us via Federal Express packed into rigid wooden crates with ample padding and sealed with steel security straps and a bonded security plate. Needless to say the cost to Tiffany must have been substantial.? The crates weighed more than the contents. Eric Stott
