What you can expect from our wooden crates
- Custom Design for Your Item
We design and manufacture crates based on the exact dimensions and requirements of your product. - ISPM 15 Heat-Treated and Certified Wood
All timber used in our crates is fully heat treated and stamped with the official ISPM 15 mark. This certification allows your shipment to pass through international customs without delays, inspections, or repacking. - Strong and Durable Construction
Your crate is built using high-quality materials and professional joinery. We focus on structural strength, stability, and long-lasting durability so you can transport your goods with complete confidence. - Protective Internal Fittings
We can include supports, bracing, foam inserts, or other internal protection based on the fragility or weight of your item. This ensures maximum shock absorption and prevents movement during transit. - Quality Check Before Delivery
Every crate is inspected to ensure accurate dimensions, secure construction, and full compliance with ISPM 15 standards. This guarantees reliability from the moment your crate arrives. - Fast Turnaround and Delivery
We offer quick production times and convenient delivery options, allowing you to meet tight schedules and prepare shipments without delays.
