As Michigan’s premiere crating company, we offer custom crates and packaging solutions for any type of product or equipment. Our crating services and industrial packaging options range from standard commercial options to a customized approach based on your specifications.
Custom crates are packaging that are made to your exact specifications. This can include a wide range of components, some of which are essential to remain compliant during international shipping. We can include fortifying materials, such as galvanized steel hinges, to ensure your packaging is highly durable. We can also design crates to be collapsible for easy storage.
A custom crate is an industrial packaging solution tailored to your specific product. Typically made out of wood materials, these crates offer the following benefits:
You can enjoy these benefits from custom crates and other custom packaging options. A reputable contract packaging company can not only offer you custom crate design and construction, but also repackaging, sequencing and other industrial packaging solutions.
Yes, each crate is made to order since every part size, weight, and method of transportation varies. Some off-the-shelf crates might work for some applications but creating a custom crate is key to making sure your parts arrive the way they were packed. The crate needs to be fit custom to the part to keep you from shipping dead space which results in direct cost savings.
Yes, we do. We offer customizable reusable shipping crates based on how the crates are going to be handled and transported. We also consider the desired number of trips that the creates will take. A well-built returnable/reusable crate from Export Corporation will last for years. We work as partners with our customers to ensure the exact crate size, type, and engineering to make sure their parts or product arrives safely.
Reusable shipping crates offer numerous benefits over disposable options including:
We specialize in tailoring custom solutions for your project’s needs. Custom crates can be designed to handle extremely large items and can also be engineered to handle extreme load capacities. If crates will be stacked and stored we can help you with a unique solution to ensure your items are safely shipped and/or stored.
In the case of space limitations, we can also help you reduce the size of custom crating to ensure it falls within any limitations regarding weight and dimensions. Even if limitations don’t apply to your shipment, we can still help you reduce the size to lower the cost for shipping your goods. This is especially important when shipping by air, which can become costly if your package is over a certain size.
When you need custom crating which include military specifications and standards for your wood pallets and crates, our crating and shipping service can meet your need. We provide compliance with a wide range of military specs including ASTM, MIL-STD-1186, MIL-STD-129P, MIL-STD-2073-1D, etc. If you have a military contract you need to fulfill, we have the military packaging expertise you need to ensure that your packaging meets the criteria required.
Whether storing or shipping your items, you want them well-protected in their packaging. We can offer one or more dunnage solutions to best meet your products’ needs, including shrink wrap, moisture barriers, and foam. We can even customize your foam package inserts to conform to your products.
Kitting and assembly requires a great deal of time. We can save that time for your workforce by providing our streamlined team for the job. We can receive and inspect the parts you order from multiple suppliers and combine them into kits or fully assemble them, then warehouse them for you or distribute them in the manner your company needs. We can even acquire the materials required for the job.
If you need skids to maneuver and transport heavy machinery or engines, custom pallets and shrink-wrapping for product boxes, and more, we can provide them. Our crates can be compartmentalized to house a variety of packages for a kit within a single crate or to hold several packages of the same item. From small to really large boxes, we can do it all.
Our crates and containers are designed to meet your specific, unique needs, whether your containers need to stand up to the abuses of transport or withstand years of storage. If your product requires preservation, we can handle that too. We strive to give you the confidence that your valuable assets are well-protected under even the harshest conditions you need the packaging to endure.
Once your products have been crated, you need reliable storage, shipment and distribution services. Managing your products and distribution can be a massive undertaking, requiring a great deal of space and equipment you may not have. We can store and distribute your inventory, whether it is by the individual unit or in bulk. We have over half a million square feet combined between our locations, with the equipment and expertise to efficiently manage inventory. We can even manage returns and restocking.
