• Our crating methodologies are superior. We pay attention to details, such as clinching nails, that help us produce stronger, safer crates.
• We know specs and international shipping standards. ISPM 15 heat treatment standards, bug-free requirements for international export…You name the spec; we know how to deal with it.
• We have the practical knowledge. We have more than 20 years in the field, building wood shipping crates and shipping complicated, expensive products around the world.

Check out a few of the types of shipping crates we have built to protect the valuable equipment our customers trust us to package for shipment.

Basic Wooden Shipping Crates

Sometimes a simple crate is best! We often build basic wooden crates per Federal Specification ASTM-D6251 AKA PPP-B-601. Of course, we can also build military crates to Military Packaging Specifications, such as Mil-C-104, ASTM-D6256 AKA Mil-B-26195, PPP-B-621… and many more.

Large Crates for International Export

We can manufacture export shipping crates of any size to ship your product anywhere in the world. We specialize in packaging oversize, over-weight, and difficult-to-handle equipment.We have crated equipment in excess of 40 feet in length, 12 feet in width, and 12 feet in height-and weighing in excess of 50,000 lbs.

Notice the plastic cover over the top of the crate. We take the extra steps to make sure your product arrives clean, dry and in perfect condition.

Cushioned Wood Crates

Many of our customers ship assemblies and components worth more than $100,000. These items are often very sensitive to shock and vibration, so cushioning is an important aspect of any shipping plan. Our team can design and fabricate a custom solution to even your most sensitive shipping challenge.

But you don’t have to take our word for it! We can provide scientific data supporting our design choices. We use data provided by foam manufacturers as well as other cushioning device manufacturers, and can even arrange for certified International Safe Transit Association testing.

Custom Consolidation Shipping Crates

A local telecommunications company approached CDC Packaging looking for a solution to a serious shipping problem. Their systems disassembled into smaller components which could be shipped in several boxes via UPS or FedEx.

But what seemed like a convenience was actually causing trouble because the international shipments were getting separated (and occasionally lost) in transit. When the company’s technicians arrived in China to install the system, they were missing critical components which resulted in lost time, increased expenses, and unhappy customers.

We designed and built a consolidation crate that can house each item necessary for a successful system installation. Now there is only one box to pack, one shipment to track, and one container to locate…and many happy customers.

Not Just Crates

Have a small assembly weighing less than a pound? No problem! CDC Packaging provides full industrial packaging service. Whether your equipment measures 4 inches or 40 feet, or weighs 50,000 pounds or less than a pound, we can provide you with the proper packaging tailored to your product.
