When it comes to protecting goods in transit — especially heavy, oversized, or high-value items — nothing matches the strength, versatility, reliability, and cost efficiency of a wooden shipping crate. At Bentley World Packaging, we specialize in designing and manufacturing wood crates that do more than just protect your shipment — they solve logistics challenges, reduce cost, and ensure total peace of mind.
What Are the Benefits of Wooden Shipping Crates?
Wooden crates are rugged packaging solutions constructed from lumber and engineered wood products. They’re used to protect and secure cargo during domestic and international transportation — especially when handling fragile, heavy-duty, or industrial-grade equipment. A wood crate provides vastly superior protection over corrugated options, and is considerably more cost effective than steel or plastic solutions.
Crates can be designed to meet a wide range of specifications and are frequently used in industries such as:
- Aerospace & Defense
- Automotive & Heavy Machinery
- Industrial Manufacturing
- Medical Devices
- Energy & Utilities
At Bentley, our crates are not just durable — they’re customized to fit your product’s weight, shape, transportation environment, and end-use requirements saving you money and helping avoid potential headaches.
What Do Wooden Crates from Bentley Include?
When you partner with Bentley World Packaging, your crate is more than just wood nailed together — it’s a complete packaging system:
1. Custom Design & Engineering
Each crate is designed based on the product’s dimensions, weight, fragility, and transport method. Our engineers use CAD design and load calculations to ensure structural integrity.
2. ISPM-15 Certification
Bentley’s crates meet international phytosanitary standards (ISPM-15), making them ready for export worldwide.
3. Material Selection
We offer a variety of wood types and engineered panels — including heat-treated lumber, plywood, OSB, and cleated panelboard — selected for durability and cost-efficiency.
4. Internal Bracing & Cushioning
Your crate may include foam inserts, VCI wraps, blocking, skids, or shock mounts to protect delicate or irregularly shaped equipment.
5. Weather & Security Protection
Packing and shipping products in crates provides protection from the elements. For items that are particularly fragile or delicate, the product inside the crate can be encapsulated with moisture barriers, desiccants, and rust-inhibiting films. Tamper-proof fasteners and security seals are also available for sensitive shipments.
