What Type of Items Benefit from Custom Wood Crates for Shipping?

Expertly built, hand-crafted wooden crates offer a level of protection during your shipment that simply can't be matched by standard cardboard boxes and over-the-counter crates. When durability, versatility, flexibility, and performance are paramount, custom wooden crates crafted by our team at Navis Pack & Ship are the clear choice. They're ideal for shipping items that require extra care, such as:

• Fragile items: Fine art, antiques, delicate electronics, and other breakable items benefit from the added strength and support of a custom wooden crate. The solid construction and internal bracing provide a secure environment, minimizing the risk of damage during transport.
• Oversized items: Large furniture, machinery, and other bulky items often require a custom crate to ensure a secure fit during transport. Our custom crates can be designed to perfectly accommodate the dimensions and shape of these items, preventing movement and potential damage.
• Heavy items: Imagine shipping a prized sculpture, a powerful ATV, a motorcycle, or a vital piece of office equipment. These heavy items demand a sturdy, load-bearing crate for safe handling and shipment. At Navis Pack & Ship, custom-built wooden crates can be engineered to handle significant weight, providing the necessary support and stability for safe transport. They ensure that even the heaviest items arrive at their destination without damage or risk to those handling them.
• Oddly shaped items: Items with unusual dimensions or intricate designs often require a custom crate to accommodate their unique shape and size. Custom crates allow for precise construction and internal bracing to secure these items and minimize the risk of damage during transit. From fragile to oversized, heavy to oddly shaped, we have the expertise to create customized crates that can safely accommodate even your most challenging shipments.

Understanding the Crating Process

Crating is more than just building a wooden box. It's a precise process that involves careful planning, design, and construction to ensure the utmost protection for your goods. Here are some key aspects of our crating process:

• Initial Assessment: We begin by meticulously assessing the item you need to ship, considering its size, weight, fragility, value, and destination. This information helps us determine the appropriate crate design and materials.
• Custom Crate Design: Based on our assessment, we will build a custom shipping crate design that precisely accommodates the dimensions and shape of your item. We incorporate specific features like internal bracing, load-bearing members, and cushioning to ensure maximum stability and impact resistance.
• Expert Construction: Our skilled craftsmen meticulously construct your crate using high-quality treated wood, hardware, and fasteners. We pay attention to every detail to create a durable and secure container that protects your valuable goods during transit.
• Specialized Packing: Once the crate is built, we carefully pack your items, utilizing appropriate cushioning materials, blocking and bracing, and foam-in-place techniques to prevent movement and absorb shocks during transport.
• Final Inspection: Before your crate is shipped, we perform a thorough inspection to ensure it meets all safety standards, shipping regulations, and our high-quality requirements.
