The Importance of Custom Crates for Protecting Your Products in Transit
When it comes to shipping valuable, oversized, or fragile items, off-the-shelf packaging won’t cut it. At J&L Wood Products, we specialize in custom wooden crates designed specifically for your product, your shipping method, and your destination. Whether you’re shipping a single unit across the state or full truckloads overseas, custom crating ensures your products arrive intact, on time, and compliant with export regulations.
Why Choose Custom Wood Shipping Crates?
1. Precision Fit = Maximum Protection
Generic crates can’t match the stability of a crate designed for your exact dimensions. Our custom-built wood shipping crates are engineered to minimize movement, absorb shock, and protect against external impacts. We account for weight distribution, support points, stacking requirements, and access needs, all while reducing wasted space and materials.
2. Designed for the Real World
At J&L, we understand the demands of real-world logistics: forklift handling, warehouse stacking, moisture exposure, long-haul freight, and customs inspections. Our crates are built to handle military-grade specs, server racks, industrial equipment, and more. From cleated panel crates to skidded bases and shock pallet integration, we build for how your product actually ships.
3. Export Compliance Made Easy
Need to ship internationally? Our crates meet ISPM-15 export requirements, are heat treated and stamped, and built to comply with industry standards such as ASTM D6251, MIL-DTL-15011, and PPP-B-601. We’ll handle the compliance so you can focus on delivery.
4. Built to Save You Money
Custom doesn’t mean costly. Because we design to fit your product precisely, you save on unnecessary materials, dimensional weight charges, and damage claims. Our crates are also optimized for stacking and load planning, maximizing truck or container space.
5. Fast Turnaround, Scalable Production
Whether you need one crate or a hundred, we have the capacity, CNC precision, and dedicated production lines to deliver fast. Our Tipp City, Ohio facility is optimized for volume custom crates, including server rack crates, AI equipment, defense and aerospace components, and more.
