Knock Down Wooden Crates

A knock down crate can be shipped more economically because it takes up less space.

Knock Down (aka "kitted" or "KD") crates contain the base and fully constructed panels; all banded together for safe handling, ready for final assembly.

Almost any wooden shipping box can be delivered with a KD design.

Our on-site packaging crew can easily assemble knock down boxes at your location.

Refurbished Custom Wood Crates

Maximize your investment by using your custom wooden crate packaging over-and-over again!

When the repair cost is no more than half the cost of a brand new container, we recommend refurbishing!

Refurbishing extends the life of your crate and your investment. Every piece of hardware, steel, and wood can be replaced so it performs just like it did when it was first built.

Open Slat Wooden Shipping Crates

An open slat custom wood crate is ideal when shipping items bare or when full boxing is cost-prohibitive.

The crate-designed shipper can provide exterior protection along with vertical protection when stacking is a concern.

The crate is also lighter than an enclosed box potentially lowering your overall packaging and shipping cost.
