The satisfaction of a good job.
If you've ever needed to transport a valuable item, you'll know how important it is to choose the right company to get the job done. The last thing you want is to find out that the company you chose didn't pay enough attention to detail and your shipment arrives in terrible shape. Why can it happen? Because the handling of shipments in the Warehouses, the loading and unloading of the Delivery Trucks, in the Freight Forwarders, in the Ports and Airports is not very careful. Rather it is rigorously crude and if a shipment is not properly packed it can be spoiled...
This is the main reason for using a Specialized Wood Packaging Service. With knowledge of the details of the Transportation Industry. In Crating Express We are more interested in the details that will protect your shipment and your specific needs (including low costs that benefit your business).
Our services cover the Miami area (Miami Dade and Broward counties) in South Florida, although we can take you anywhere within the Continental United States.
Packaging with the appropriate Wooden Box is one of the most important parts when it comes to protecting a shipment with valuable items or items that require Protection while facilitating their Handling. There are a variety of designs including plywood, boards (Closed Boxes) or boards only (Open Boxes or Cages).
The boxes have the PURPOSE of FACILITATING the handling of your shipment as well as ensuring that it arrives at its destination in perfect condition.
ISPM-15 Certified Wood Packaging for international shipments.
You will be pleased to know that we follow the Best Practices and industry standards when it comes to Packaging and Joinery with Wood for exports. Wood can be easily infested with pests, for this reason, if the packaging you use is not made of wood that meets the requirements of the ISPM15 regulation, it could be rejected for transport or even not be admitted at the port of destination, which which could be a tremendous headache and incalculable losses in time and money for you. While the use of Treated Wood is a legal requirement, it is something we are happy to do to ensure a better world.
The rules surrounding ISPM-15 mean that the wood must be treated before it is used to contain anything that is going to be transported from one country to another. The figuration MUST be carried out, or instead heat treatment.
Once the Heat Treatment has been done to a level that will kill anything that could be dangerous, we affix (Without Additional Charge) the seals that certify it, and this will not only put your mind at ease, but also ensure entry to countries who have concerns about importing pests.
In extreme cases of pest detection in shipments with untreated wood, the goods can be declared in Quarantine, or be returned to the country of origin, etc.
7 Most Used Types of Wood Packaging
Closed Boxes or Drawers:
- For General Use: When delicate and valuable items need to be moved, this is the box for it. Since it is hermetically sealed, it provides a greater amount of protection than if it were placed in a normal cardboard box. Since there will be no part of the object on display, it is less likely to be damaged or lost by some external action.
- For Special Uses:
- Antiques, Paintings, Chandeliers, Sculptures, etc:
- They are boxes built to measure and according to the needs of the Art in question.

Open Boxes:
This is an ideal way to move items that don't specifically need security but still need a Base for easy Handling and conditions for stacking them on top of each other.
They are also designed specifically for the items you want to move. Open Boxes are the most economical way of crating for volume shipments greater than 150 cubic feet, more volume, better price.
Platforms and Carpentry with Wood inside Containers
At Crating Express we build wooden platforms inside containers to accommodate photocopiers, golf carts, etc. on two floors.
If you have lots of items to transport, you may find it beneficial to put them all in one container. However, the problem here could be that some heavier items and smaller, lighter items could be damaged if placed on top of each other inside the container. To solve this problem, we build platforms and barriers inside the container and each element will be safe in its own space.
