Freight & Crate supplies complete
crating and packing services to assure your valuable
items are shipped safely and securely. Below is
a description of the main types of packing that
we may suggest for your shipment:
Palletizing
- Mainly used for pre-boxed, non-fragile items,
this is the minimum amount of packaging for
any shipment. We supply the pallet, load it,
wrap it in black stretch wrap, band it using
polyethylene strapping material and label
it "Top Load Only". A pallet is usually 48"long
and 42" wide. We can manufacture a custom
pallet size when necessary. Maximum height
84" per pallet. Pricing: Depending
on size. Call for quote.
Pallet Box
- Used mainly for large non-fragile to semi-fragile
items. We manufacture a custom wood pallet
base, foam interior, double wall cardboard
exterior, with lid, then we band it using
polyethylene strapping material and label
it. Pricing: Depending on size. Call
for quote.
Cardboard and
Wood Crate - Used mainly for semi-fragile
items and high value goods. This is a less
expensive alternative to the full wooden crate.
We manufacture a customs wood pallet base,
foam interior, 1x4 or 2x4 wood frame, double
wall cardboard exterior and label it appropriately.
Pricing: Depending on size. Call for
quote.
Fully Enclosed
Wood Crate - Used mainly for fragile,
heavy or high value goods. This is the most
secure form of packaging. We manufacture a
customs wood pallet base, foam interior, 1x4
or 2x4 wood frame, 3/8" wood exterior
and label it appropriately. Pricing:
Depending on size. Call for quote.
Trade Show
& Specialized Crates - Used mainly
for crates that will be reused many times.
We can add wheels, hinges, shelves or cleats.
Can be made to break down flat for easy storage.
Reusable crates are made with heavy-duty wood
for long-term durability. These are always
custom made to your specifications. Pricing:
Depending on size. Call for quote.
Your freight
should be on a pallet, skid, or other
forkliftable base.
70-gauge
stretch-wrapping should be used with a
minimum of two bands that are secured
through the pallet voids and around cartons.
The shipper
is responsible for ensuring that the cargo
is packed appropriately for carriage so
as to ensure that it can be carried safely
with ordinary care in handling and so
as not to injure or damage any persons,
goods or property.
Each package
must be legibly marked with the name and
full address, including ZIP/postal code,
of the shipper and consignee.
Briefcases,
luggage, garment bags, aluminum cases,
plastic cases, computer cartons or similar
types of items whose outer finish might
be damaged by adhesive labels, soiling,
marking or other types of surface damage
that is normal with ordinary care in handling
should be placed in a protective container
for shipment.
