Fast Production & Delivery Of Your Packing Cases

Need fast reliable shipping case makers? Why not contact a member of our shipping crate & casemakers’ team for more information on our ISPM 15 wooden packing cases & shipping crates. Our ISPM 15 custom made or bespoke heat treated shipping crates or heat treated cases will not only ensure the ultimate protection of your shipments to UK or International destinations but also avoid your shipments being blocked from entry into jurisdictions with restrictions on wooden imports and packaging. The cheapest wooden shipping crates and shipping cases will often not be ISPM 15 certified – which will preclude them from use as protective packaging for many exports. It therefore makes sense to purchase wheat stamped IPPC compliant crates or cases if there is the possibility of them being used for international shipping to the USA, Australia, New Zealand, India and EU member states, including: Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, France etc etc.

Collapsible Shipping Crates – Reusable Wooden Crates and Cases

Our collapsable OSB & plywood cases are the perfect shipping cases if space is in short supply as we supply them flat-packed and they are easily stored – only needing to be assembled when required for packing your goods.

They can be custom made in almost any size to hold almost anything you are shipping. Unlike solid timber crates or cases they do not require heat treatment or stamping with ISPM 15 certification details.

Our collapsible shipping crates make the perfect strong packaging for items that need returning: such as goods being sent to exhibitions internationally. The clip-lock design of the cases means they can be dismantled when your shipment arrives for easy storage & re-assembled after the exhibition ends so the goods can be packed for a safe return to the UK.

When you are looking for the cheapest wooden shipping cases or crates then reusable collapsible shipping crates for packaging may be the best option as it doesn’t need to be heat treated and can be reused numerous times – something which can help keep the overall cost of your wooden export packaging down significantly.

Collapsible custom made wooden packing cases have an important role to play in many of our customers’ export requirements but they are not available with such short lead times as our solid build crates. So if you have a little time we can certainly quote for a reusable clip-lock collapsible case or crate for for exporting your goods but for really tight urgent deadlines a strong solid build timber crate or case may be the option you need to pursue.
