  • Overview

Looking for a cheaper and safer alternative to traditional wood crating? Our wood-free crating solutions are engineered to provide exceptional shock absorption, product protection, and cost savings. Built with high-performance corrugated materials, these crates reduce vibration, increase cushioning, and absorb impacts more effectively than wood, lowering the risk of damage from drops or collisions. Unlike wooden crates, our solutions do not damage your items with screws or splinters, and when shipping machinery won’t require recalibration at the destination, reducing setup time and avoiding costly delays. Their lightweight design makes them easier to handle, faster to pack and unpack, and more affordable to ship. With proven success supporting high-stakes shipments, including work for aerospace leaders like Lockheed, our wood-free crating is trusted when precision and protection matter most.
