The most widely used and versatile option, wooden crates are durable, cost-effective, and suitable for both domestic and export shipping. They can be built fully enclosed, slatted, or open depending on your cargo.
Best for:
For fragile or precision equipment, wooden crates can be lined with custom-cut foam inserts to provide cushioning against shock and vibration. Foam-lining ensures that products stay firmly in place during transit.
Best for:
Made from high-density plastic, these crates are lightweight, reusable, and weather-resistant. They are ideal for industries requiring repeated shipping or exposure to moisture.
Best for:
Sometimes the foam itself is the primary protective material. Engineered foam packaging can be designed as stand-alone crates or combined with wood or plastic for added strength.
Best for:
Strong, lightweight, and recyclable, corrugated fiberboard crates are excellent for lighter shipments where eco-friendliness and cost efficiency matter. They can also be reinforced with wood or metal.
Best for:
Trade show and promotional items
For the heaviest and most oversized equipment, wooden crates can be enhanced with steel framing for maximum strength and stability.
Best for:
Rail and aviation components like jet engines
Designed for frequent packing, unpacking, and reuse, these crates are built with foam interiors, hinges, and sometimes wheels. They make setup and teardown fast and efficient.
Best for:
When compliance is non-negotiable, Mil-Spec crates are built to U.S. Department of Defense standards such as MIL-STD-2073 and MIL-STD-129. These crates meet stringent requirements for durability, markings, and moisture protection.
Best for:
Aerospace and classified equipment
International and ocean-bound shipments require crates designed to resist humidity, salt air, and long transit times. These crates often include barrier bags, vapor corrosion inhibitors (VCI), and desiccants.
