Irreplaceable items demand meticulous documentation. PackProof creates sealed, legally defensible evidence of every step — from condition assessment through delivery — protecting your most valuable shipments.
Art and antique shipments carry extraordinary financial and cultural value. A single dispute — whether over pre-existing damage, inadequate wrapping, or handling during transit — can result in catastrophic losses, lengthy litigation, and reputational harm.
Without photo and video evidence of an item's condition before packing, you cannot defend against claims that damage occurred during your preparation process. Insurance companies demand irrefutable proof, and memory or verbal assurances are insufficient.
High-value art requires specialist packaging techniques — custom crating, inert materials, vibration isolation. Without visual documentation of how items were wrapped, padded, and sealed, you cannot demonstrate compliance with industry best practices or justify your fees.
Art shipments often pass through multiple handlers — packers, couriers, insurance adjusters. A single undocumented handoff creates reasonable doubt in any dispute, leaving you unable to pinpoint where responsibility truly lies.
Insurance settlements and court proceedings for high-value art demand timestamped, tamper-proof documentation. Handwritten notes, loose photographs, and smartphone videos lack the cryptographic certainty that adjusters and judges require.
Most packing operations rely on informal photo libraries or verbal handoffs. Without cryptographic hashing and immutable timestamps, there is no way to prove that a photo or video was captured at a specific moment and has not been altered since.
Handwritten condition reports and checklists are prone to error, illegibility, and retrospective modification. When disputes arise months later, reconstructing what was actually observed becomes impossible.
Different packers use different devices, lighting, and framing. Some capture photos, others skip documentation entirely. This inconsistency undermines credibility and leaves gaps that opposing counsel can exploit.
Video evidence of the packing process — showing how custom crating was constructed, how vibration-damping materials were applied, how seals were verified — is rarely captured. Without this, disputes over 'proper handling' become unwinnable.
When a claim is filed, you need instant access to all photos and videos from that shipment. Disorganized cloud folders, missing metadata, and multiple devices make rapid evidence retrieval impossible, forcing costly delays.
PackProof seals every photo and video with SHA-512 cryptographic certification and an immutable timestamp. This creates legally defensible evidence that proves condition, handling quality, and chain of custody — exactly what insurers, courts, and claimants demand.
Capture comprehensive photos and videos of the item as it arrives, documenting surface, frame, patina, and any existing wear. Each image is sealed with a cryptographic hash, proving it was captured before packing began and cannot be altered.
Record video of custom crating, material selection, padding application, and seal placement. Photos of labels, barcodes, and condition checklists are instantly sealed. Together, they prove that proper, documented procedures were followed.
Capture photo and video evidence at each handoff point — packer to courier, courier to carrier, carrier to receiver. Sealed timestamps prove exactly when responsibility transferred and to whom, eliminating dispute over liability allocation.
When a claim is filed, retrieve all sealed photos and videos instantly. Adjusters and legal teams can verify the cryptographic hash and timestamp in seconds, confirming the evidence is authentic, unaltered, and admissible in court.
Before unpacking or preparing the item, use PackProof to capture detailed photos and video of its current state — all sides, surface texture, frame condition, and any visible wear. Each photo and video is sealed instantly with SHA-512 certification and a precise timestamp.
As the item is wrapped, crated, and secured, record photos of each stage (foam wrapping, custom padding, inert materials, vibration isolation) and video walkthroughs of the overall packing procedure. Seal checkboxes confirming material types, padding layers, and crate integrity. All evidence remains sealed and tamper-proof.
Once packing is complete, capture photos and video of all seals, barcodes, handling labels, and the final crated state. Include evidence of any tamper-evident devices or security measures applied. Each photo and video is sealed with an immutable timestamp.
When the item is transferred to a courier or carrier, have both parties present while you capture photos and video of the handoff, signature, and departure. This sealed evidence proves who had custody at each moment and creates an unbreakable chain-of-custody record.
