At PEC Packaging, we offer complete export and crating services. We can design, manufacture, and deliver export packaging solutions that protect your products throughout the supply chain.

Our integrated logistics and distribution service can include:

• Collection: We will collect your goods, rather than you having to deliver to us.

• Crate manufacture: We build our shipping crates in-house, built to your unique demands and transport specifications.

• Export protection: We ensure our crates can handle the rigours of export transit, protecting your products within.

• Palletisation: Grouping various boxes onto a single load will optimise space, prevent damage during transit and reduce loading and unloading times.

• Loading: We will liaise with carriers to ensure your goods are loaded safely.

• Freight coordination: We manage the supply chain from end to end.

• Documentation support: We can organise permits, duties and customs documentation to ensure you are compliant with shipping standards and minimise friction.

• UK and international shipping: Based in Liverpool, we are ideally placed to handle domestic transportation and international exports.

Crates Built Around Your Shipment

PEC Packaging produces custom timber crates and plywood cases as part of our crating shipping services, manufactured to your packaging and shipping demands.

Our crating and shipping services are tailored to your required dimensions, weight distribution, and handling requirements to ensure absolute product protection. Whether containing fragile goods, high-value products, or heavy machinery and equipment, our heavy-duty export shipping crates will hold up.

Even our more lightweight plywood cases can handle the demands of long-distance transportation, capable of being fitted with internal fittings, foam inserts, or pallet bases for added support.

When deciding on the best packaging solution, we’ll consider your transport method and take steps to lessen moisture, shock, and vibration risks. We will also include clear access points for forklifts or lifting equipment, secure closures that allow the opening of crates without damaging them.

No matter your requirements, our bespoke shipping crate services can give you options that meet your exact specifications, whilst being cost-effective.

Export-Ready Packing and Shipping

If you are shipping internationally, your packaging must adhere to certain standards.

Whether by land, sea or air, you can use PEC Packaging’s freight forwarding services to seamlessly navigate the thorny world of international transportation. Our crates can be heat-treated to guarantee ISPM 15 compliance, pass border inspections and meet shipping regulations.

Besides ensuring international shipping requirements, PEC Packaging can also help ease administrative load with further customs and export support.

We can help with:

• Commercial invoices, packing lists and certificates of origin

• Export licences and permit applications (if needed)

• Import clearance coordination

• Incoterms support and shipment insurance for transit protection

At PEC, we don’t just know how goods need to be packaged; we also understand global shipping requirements and how shipments can more easily get from point A to B.

Built to Protect Goods During Transit

There are many ways we can increase product protection, including:

• Reducing movement: Proper weight distribution can lessen movement inside crates during transport.

• Shock protection: Internal bracing and custom foam inserts can absorb shock and vibrations during transit.

• Moisture protection: Barrier foil and desiccants will reduce moisture, preventing corrosion and mould. Also, heat-treated ISPM 15-compliant crates have less moisture content, reducing the risk of rotting wood.

• Secure loading: Crates will have access points for lifting equipment and balanced weight distribution to ensure product safety.

• Handling protection: Crates can be made from heavy-duty and durable wood to reduce chances of transit damage and remain stable when stacked and stored during container transport.
