‘Turtle’

Re-usable

‘ user-friendly’ sustainable packing cases

The important  practical advantage of TURTLE cases are the fully 3 directional, adjustable corner blocks which enable 2 dimensional Art Objects of differing frame size to be easily and rapidly packed with the absolute minimum of time and effort. 

TURTLE cases will be especially advantageous to those Museums, Galleries and Private Collections who:-

• want to be totally self sufficient in handling and packing for different size Art Objects to the dimensional limitations set out below
   

• are regularly moving Art Objects between locations as a  ‘two way movement’ - for example one size painting one way, another size return etc etc
   

• are capable of holding a small stock              

With additional corner blocks it is possible to accommodate more than one picture within a single container, subject only to size constraints!

Maximum and Minimum  frame dimensions that can be accommodated within TURTLE cases are listed below.

Dimensions and Weights of Turtle Containers

There are 6 standard container sizes, 3 x Landscape (L), and 3 x Portrait (P), each supplied with four standard corner blocks.  Additional corner blocks can be supplied if required, the cost of which will be quoted on request.

Technical Performance

TURTLE     Cases have been extensively tested in respect of their performance under a variety of environmental conditions. 

The technical performance of TURTLE cases has been determined and confirmed by their manufacturers in Holland.  Whilst Kent Services Ltd is satisfied with the claimed performance as documented, the Company cannot accept responsibility for consequential loss or damage arising from the use of TURTLE cases when it can be clearly shown that such damage occurred as a result of the failure of TURTLE or to protect the Art Object(s) in accordance with the claimed performance and usage standards.
