Considering Wooden Shipping Crates Construction

June 14, 2008 by admin

Wooden shipping crates are everywhere. You can’t walk through a warehouse or across a loading dock without seeing one of these ubiquitous boxes, protecting and concealing everything from machinery to clothing, fine foods to industrial equipment.

Yet have you ever thought about how they’re made? If you’ve ever pondered wooden shipping crates construction, perhaps you’ve imagined a very boring workshop, where gnomes pound out box after box after box, an endless pile of pine planking and plywood panels at the ready. Not so. Wooden shipping crates construction is far more complex and involved than you ever might have imagined.

For one thing, not all crates are created equal. Wooden shipping crates construction needs to take several things into account: what will the crate be used to carry? Is it okay for the contents of the wooden shipping crate to shift during transportation or must they remain locked safely in place? The answer to that question will have a great impact on wooden shipping crates construction.

Additionally, how far will the crate have to travel? A wooden crate that’s crossing town does not have to be as sturdy or substantial as one going into a container ship crossing the Pacific. Wooden shipping crates construction involves crafting a crate that can stand up to the job at hand.

Custom wooden shipping crates construction is becoming increasingly popular. Having wooden shipping crates constructed to hold products perfectly in place, protecting them from the trials and tribulations of transport, cuts down on damage and breakage costs. Additionally, as environmental concerns are becoming increasingly more important in every sphere, wooden shipping crates construction companies are designing multi-use units that can deliver products safely without requiring a new crate every time. This is a great boon cost wise, and can also help companies that are trying to ‘green’ their corporate image.

"My mother was living in a retirement community in Massachusetts. After she passed, there were three groups of items that needed to go to three different locations. One of those groups contained a large china cabinet. This had much sentimental value for me but it needed refinishing before having it shipped to my home in Virginia. I was referred to Boston Pack and Ship. They advised me to ship it directly to a refinisher to save me from having to move the cabinet one more time. Boston Pack and Ship stored the china cabinet while I searched for a refinisher near my home. Long story short, I found a refinisher here in Virginia and Boston Pack and Ship prepared the china cabinet for delivery. It arrived safe and sound to the refinisher on schedule who said it was ‘beautifully wrapped and protected'. I can't thank Bill and Boston Pack and Ship enough for their help in getting my china cabinet to me safely. Most importantly, they were caring and patient at a difficult time in my life."
