Specializing in Optimal Customized Cushioning & Protection Systems
Determining the best container to match your item is critical. However, for many items, dampening shock and vibration can be just as important. That’s why we are specialists in developing and using the proper cushioning materials based on item weight, fragility, and vibration sensitivity.
Other packaging measures and techniques taken to maintain the integrity of your items including:
With years of experience comes the understanding that the protective materials inside your custom wooden crate are vital to a safe shipment, especially when traveling by sea. With our vapor barrier packaging, your sensitive items will stay protected from corrosion due to saltwater.
Properly securing your contents inside the box or crate is the final step to ensuring your shipment will be protected from the challenges of the shipping environment.
