About The Pack Animals
The Pack Animals are Chicago-based art handlers working with collectors, galleries, designers, artists, and institutions. Clients hire us for careful packing, precise installation, and professional handling habits that reduce risk and protect valuable work. We primarily serve Illinois and travel nationwide for the right projects.
What Clients Can Expect
Clear communication, clean results, and careful handling. We focus on level installs, stable mounting, controlled movement, and practical solutions for real spaces—homes, offices, galleries, and storage environments.
