Wooden boxes & crates that protect what’s inside
When a pallet isn’t enough, a purpose-built wooden box or crate keeps your product safe in transit and storage — built to your dimensions and load.
Built around your product
Heavy machinery, fragile equipment, high-value parts and irregular freight all ship better in a container designed for them. We build wooden boxes and crates to your exact dimensions, with the strength and internal bracing your contents demand.
- Open crates — framed and braced for cost-effective protection where full enclosure isn’t needed
- Enclosed wooden boxes — full protection and security for sensitive or valuable goods
- Heavy-duty construction — engineered for machinery and concentrated loads
- Export-ready — heat-treated and ISPM-15 stamped for international shipping
One supplier for the whole shipment
Pair your boxes and crates with matching pallets, dunnage and blocking — and our own delivery — and you’ve sourced an entire export-ready shipment from Associated Products Shipping Solutions in one call.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between a crate and a wooden box?
A crate is an open, framed structure that braces and protects the contents; a wooden box is fully enclosed for maximum protection and security. We build both, sized to your product.
Can you build export-compliant boxes?
Yes. Wooden boxes and crates for international shipment are built heat-treated and ISPM-15 stamped, just like our export pallets.
Do you build for heavy or high-value equipment?
We build heavy-duty crates and boxes for machinery, aerospace components and other high-value freight — with internal blocking and bracing to keep contents immobile in transit.
