Crating

Is it a crate or a box? One major difference is a crate you can see through to the product, and a box is a closed container. A crate is good for items that are more durable, but may have a non-conforming shape increasing the risk of damage during transit. The crate provides a structure around its payload in a truss-like fashion. Additionally, the crate designed shipper can provide vertical protection when stacking is a concern. The crate is also lighter than an enclosed box potentially lowering your overall packaging and shipping cost.
