Need strong timber packing cases for trouble-free worldwide exports?

We produce heat treated solid timber crates and cases which are all constructed from sustainably sourced wood that is ISPM 15 certified and IPPC stamped, along with flat pack OSB (Oriented Strand Board) reusable cases. Custom made crates and cases can be manufactured in the required sizes and with fixtures and fittings to suit a client’s particular shipment needs. Working with museums, art galleries, art dealers and all sorts of manufacturing and engineering companies, we can produce protective crates or cases for almost any goods you need to protect, including: classic cars, motorcycles, machines, sculpture, valuable oil paintings or simply the storage or transit of personal possessions etc.

Fast production and short lead times for your custom crates and cases

As previously stated our workshops operate 24/7 and we are usually able to produce bespoke crates and cases on the day of order for emergencies. But of course we prefer a little more notice when possible. If you need help with any type of timber packaging why not call us and a member of our friendly team will be delighted to help with your OSB or certified and stamped ISPM 15 heat treated timber export packaging.

Choose between a crate or case with or without a pallet bottom.

Our heat treated crates and cases are routinely produced with pallet bottoms but of course as a custom made item they can be ordered without. If you want to buy our bespoke wooden shipping crates or cases for exporting goods but would prefer we omit a pallet base on your particular packing crate or case simply advise us when placing your order.

As custom shipping case manufacturers we service clients in all areas of the UK that need to buy strong heat treated ISPM 15 timber crates or cases for exporting goods, including towns and cities such as: London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, Middlesborough, Darlington, Preston, Blackburn, Oldham, Sheffield, Brighton, Southampton, Portsmouth, Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Bridgend, Port Talbot, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh.

Fast production and delivery of your packing cases

Need fast reliable shipping case makers? Why not contact a member of our shipping crate and casemakers’ team for more information on our ISPM 15 wooden packing cases and shipping crates? Our ISPM 15 custom made or bespoke heat treated shipping crates or heat treated cases will not only ensure the ultimate protection of your shipments to UK or International destinations but also avoid your shipments being blocked from entry into jurisdictions with restrictions on wooden imports and packaging.

The cheapest wooden shipping crates and shipping cases from other suppliers will often not be ISPM 15 certified. This will preclude them from use as protective packaging for many of your exports. It always makes sense to purchase wheat stamped IPPC compliant export crates or cases if there is the possibility of them being used for international shipping to the USA, Australia, New Zealand, India and EU member states, including: Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, France and other EU member states etc.

Collapsible Shipping Crates – Reusable Wooden Crates and Cases

Our collapsable Oriented Strand Board OSB shipping cases and plywood cases are the perfect export cases if space is in short supply. We supply them flat-packed and they are therefore easily stored – only needing to be assembled when required for packing your goods.

They can be custom made in almost any size to hold almost anything you are shipping. Unlike solid timber crates or cases they do not require heat treatment or stamping with ISPM 15 certification details.

Collapsible export cases for goods that need to be returned

Our collapsible shipping cases, often called crates, make the perfect strong packaging for items that need returning: such as goods being sent internationally to shows and exhibitions. The clip-lock design of the cases means they can be dismantled when your shipment arrives for easy storage and simply re-assembled after the exhibition ends. This ensures the cases or crates are retained so that goods can quickly be packed for a safe return to the UK. They can of course be used for on-shipping to elsewhere in the world. So if you are sending machines etc to trade shows or art to museums, exhibitions or art galleries abroad then talk to us about our flexible export reusable packaging.

If you’re looking for the cheapest wooden shipping cases or crates then our reusable collapsible shipping crates may be the best option to choose. They do not need to be heat treated and can be reused numerous times – something which helps keep the overall cost per use of your export packaging down significantly.

Collapsible custom made wooden packing cases have an important role to play in many of our customers’ export requirements. However, they are not available with the same short lead times as our solid build crates. So if you have a little time we can quote for a reusable OSB or plywood case for exporting your goods. But for really urgent tight deadlines a strong solid build timber crate or case may be the option you need. In any event a member of our team will be happy to discuss the choices available.

Simply contact us for details about any of our export products, including: IPPC wheat stamped ISPM 15 timber crates, cases and boxes.
