Wooden Shipping Crates

PEC Packaging manufactures bespoke wooden shipping crates that are suitable for industrial applications and international shipping. They are built for export use, as every crate is heat-treated and ISPM 15 compliant, meeting global shipping regulations.

Whether your goods require international shipping over sea and air, or road transport for closer-to-home destinations, we’ll design and manufacture wooden shipping crates that are reliable and tailored to your needs.

Wooden Shipping Crates for Overseas Export

Our wooden shipping crates are reliable and durable, capable of handling substantial weight, and suitable for heavy equipment and machinery.

Wooden shipping crates are used for sea and air freight as they withstand humidity and temperature changes, and can be heat-treated to further protect against moisture.

They also provide stability, capable of holding up against repeated handling due to balanced weight distribution. Wooden shipping crates can be stacked easily on container ships or in storage due to clear access points for forklifts and lifting equipment.

The structure of wooden crates can provide safer freight movement, reducing shifting within the crate.

ISPM 15 Compliant Wooden Shipping Crates

When shipping abroad, you will be subject to international shipping requirements that your packaging must meet to be able to go through customs and arrive at the destination.

PEC Packaging produces ISPM 15 wooden crates that are export-ready and suitable for overseas freight. To meet ISPM 15 compliance, your packaging must be heat-treated.

Why Is Heat-treated Timber Required for Wooden Shipping Crates?

ISPM 15 (International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures) is an internationally recognised precautionary standard requiring wood packaging to be debarked and heat-treated. This regulation is in place to reduce the spread of pests and diseases that may be present in untreated timber.

Manufactured for Your Goods and Shipping Requirements

We provide bespoke packaging solutions. That means we create shipping crates that meet your needs, rather than you finding a crate that your products can fit in.

We can design crates that meet your weight requirements and custom dimensions for oversized cargo, heavy machinery, and sensitive, fragile equipment. We’ll include internal protection systems to reduce shock and vibration impact and be robust against repeated handling. 

Every wooden shipping crate is manufactured to account for freight movement no matter the shipping method.

Wooden Shipping Crates Suitable for Air, Sea & Road Freight

If you are shipping internationally, that can mean that your goods need to travel by land, air and sea. That could mean time spent on a container ship, time in storage and time in the air.

We create wooden shipping crates that can be just one part of our freight forwarding services. 

To handle road transport and loading/unloading, we can include features such as:

• Internal fittings
• Foam inserts
• Pallet bases forklifts or lifting equipment

To deal with sea freight exposure, our crates can be:

• Heat-treated to reduce moisture content
• Include barrier foil and desiccants for moisture protection

To deal with air freight handling, our crate can be:

• Made to be more lightweight and durable
• Include an internal shock-absorbing system
• Can use the strategy of export consolidation to reduce costs and transit time

The supply chain from warehouse storage to arrival can involve multi-stage logistics environments, so your crates must be able to withstand rigorous handling and changing environments.
