In Los Angeles storage of items requires packing and crating. A crate refers to a large shipping container that is often made of wood that is used to transport heavy items, while a box is a container often made of fiberboard or paperboard that is also used to store or transport items. Moving companies offer those in the entertainment industry packing, crating and storage services on either a temporary or long-term basis, and may also coordinate the logistics of moving theatrical or musical productions from one venue to another. Specialty cases are available for packing and crating of film units, video, lighting, sound, computers, wardrobe and props.
