Our Streamlined Crating Process

Every shipment follows a structured, documented workflow:

1. Consultation & Assessment – We document item dimensions, weight, center of gravity, fragility points, and destination requirements.
2. Custom Design & Engineering – Our specialists produce a crate specification with 3D modeling when needed, specifying materials, bracing, cushioning (foam, corrugated, air-ride), and vapor-barrier or desiccant options.
3. Precision Construction – Crates are built in our climate-controlled Las Vegas shop using heat-treated lumber, plywood, steel fasteners, and ASTM-tested cushioning materials.
4. Testing & Validation – Each crate undergoes structural inspection, fastener torque verification, and fit-check with the actual item before closure.
5. Logistics Support – We handle labeling (including hazardous/UN markings if applicable), commercial invoices, carrier booking, and dock scheduling for a seamless handoff.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ISPM-15 and why does it matter?

ISPM-15 is the international phytosanitary standard requiring heat treatment or fumigation of wood packaging material to prevent pest spread. All our export crates bear the IPPC stamp for customs clearance worldwide.

Can you crate items on-site at my facility?

Yes. For oversized or immobile equipment, our team travels to your location for measurement, build, and load-out.

Do you provide crate reuse or buy-back programs?

We design reusable crate systems for trade show and recurring shipments, and offer refurbishment services for multi-trip packaging.

What’s the typical lead time?

Standard custom crates: 3–5 business days after design approval. Expedited and on-site builds available.
