Custom Crates & Boxes

Export’s custom wood packaging is ideal for products in many industries, including automotive, defense, industrial, and commercial clients. We design and build custom wood crates, custom skids, and more that can securely hold products, tools, or equipment. Contact us today to get started on your project.

Wood packaging offers exceptional protection for shipped products. Our custom crates and packages are designed for your part or equipment’s logistical journeys on planes, ships, and trains, and are lighter and more cost-effective than metal containers.

High Quality Wood & Crate Boxes

We use CAD, Crate Pro, and our 70+ years of experience to design the exact solution based on your specifications. Need to ship internationally? We build ISPM-15 Heat Treat Certified, export-compliant industrial packaging for international shipments.

Our clients reduce their costs and get better peace of mind by switching from standard packaging materials to our high quality custom crates, pallets, and wooden packaging boxes. Countless manufacturers across the U.S. have relied on us for wood packaging services—we hope to earn your trust, too.

Benefits of Using Custom Crates

A custom crate is an industrial packaging solution tailored to your specific product. Typically made out of wood materials, these crates offer the following benefits:

  • Bulky item capabilities: No product is too large for shipment, as your packaging team can create a crate to match the dimensions of your products.
  • Reusable packaging: Wood crates are more of an investment than corrugated materials, but they are also far more durable. All that plywood, dimensional lumber or other wood products can be repurposed in your facility or recycled for home improvement projects. 
  • Improved security: Enjoy peace of mind with crating that matches your products. A custom crate allows you to create the design features for bulky, irregular or fragile items before shipping.

You can enjoy these benefits from custom crates and other custom packaging options. A reputable contract packaging company can not only offer you custom crate design and construction, but also repackaging, sequencing and other industrial packaging solutions.

Military Boxes & Crates

We can custom design wood crates and boxes to safely transport military tools and equipment. In fact, military packaging is our specialty. We build wood products in compliance with many military codes and regulations, including MIL-STD-1186, MIL-STD-129P, MIL-STD-2073, and more. By stringently following these regulations, we ensure our customers stay in compliance at all times.

Custom Wood Crates & Boxes

Customized wood crates and boxes offer essential, durable packaging for irregularly shaped products or when you need to ship delicate equipment. Export Corporation’s custom wood crates help companies reduce shipping costs and minimize damage, and they can be easily assembled and disassembled.

Custom Pallets

Count on us for high-quality, cost-effective, and durable custom pallets and bases. We custom-design and engineer pallets for both large single products and multiple wrapped products.

Skids

Skids are similar to pallets, except they do not have a bottom deck. This feature allows the skid to be dragged and offers nestable options. Export Corporation specializes in the design and engineering of custom skids for any size part, product, or machine.

Kit Packs

Kit packs allow for the easy transport of product components that will later be assembled. We design kit packs to organize and hold all parts for a specific application for staging. Just send us your parts, and we’ll design a kit crate to your exact specifications, provide assembly if applicable, pack, and distribute it to the next or end destination.

Dunnage Capabilities

Products may shift and move inside wooden crates, boxes, and other custom wood packaging. Dunnage, such as loose wood or matting, protects your products inside the crates or boxes.

Our dunnage offerings include custom foam-in-place, shock-absorbent materials, custom foam, moisture barrier crating, shrink wrap, foam padding, plastic carpet, and fabricated wood. We also offer returnable, reusable, and expendable dunnage.

Comply with Wood Packaging Regulations

Many industries have strict industrial regulations regarding how certain equipment is transported or shipped. Other regulations are established by state and federal governments. Export Corporation is an ISO-certified crating service provider; all of our packaging is compliant with MIL-STD-2073, MIL-STD-129P, ASTM, WAWF documentation, NAICS 493110 warehousing, and more. We stay up-to-date with all regulations and regularly maintain certifications for your peace of mind.
