At Cratex, we pride ourselves on delivering unparalleled custom packing and crating solutions tailored to the unique needs of each item entrusted to our care. Here is a throwback testament to our expertise – the meticulous handling and expert packing of a 19th Century Seven-Seater Pace Bicycle.
The arrival of the 1800s Seven-Seater Pace Bike presented a distinctive challenge and an opportunity to showcase our commitment to precision and craftsmanship.
