Selecting suitable wooden crates is very important for an overall firm, safe, and successful pack and ship process. It is not just about choosing different wooden crates or boxes; it is about accessing the items to be packed or shipped and carefully assessing the conditions those items will go through while in transit. Therefore Packing Service, Inc is an expert in deciding different types of crates that fit your needs and the demands of items to be shipped. With 100% professional shipping services both domestically and globally, we have been proving our integrity throughout the years of service.
Types of Wooden Crates Used
- Open Crates
- Open crates are built differently than closed crates. They have an open framework and construction surrounding the shipping environment.
- They are used when items don’t need complete protection from elements.
- Mostly useful for large items like machinery and equipment
- Closed crates
- They are enclosed boxed/crates with four sides (top, bottom, and two sides) that fully encase the cargo.
- They provide complete protection against harsh external factors and conditions in shipping services.
- Mostly useful for fragile items and high-value items. With protection from weather conditions, closed crates are beneficial in handling items that require extra cushion and care during shipping services.
- Custom Crates
- They are tailor-made for unique shipping requirements for the particular need of clients and businesses.
- It can be made with customized options of cushions, barriers, and extra compartments for pack and ship.
- Provide maximum protection and minimized movement during transit.
Selection of Material
Different types of wood are used for crating, including hardwood, plywood, and softwood. At Packing Service, Inc, we make wooden crates with high-quality lumber that provides maximum protection and as per standards. We consider the factors of wood’s durability, strength, and moisture resistance before starting a project of shipping services. To comply with ISPM 15 Regulations, we use heat-treated (HT) wood for international pack and ship.
