When it comes to shipping, there are countless different materials to choose from in terms of shipping containers. However, even in 2021, wooden packaging solutions are still one of the most popular. For most companies finding affordable and efficient packaging solutions is key to lowering their overall costs. Wood-based packaging solutions are considered to be a more stable and environmentally sound option in comparison to other materials.
Here we look at the benefits:
-Durable and Renewable
Timber is resilient and hard-wearing, which makes it a perfect material for use in transit packing. If properly maintained the material can be of good use for many years. This saves businesses even more money as they don’t have to repurchase packaging annually. The renewability of timber is also hugely beneficial as timber products can easily be repurposed for a wide range of alternative uses.
-Reduce moisture damage problems
Cardboard is a popular choice for shipping materials, however, it can be easily damaged by moisture during transit. Timber packaging has a much greater resistance to moisture damage, meaning less chance of your goods being affected. Many woods have a natural water resistance, timber cases and crates can be sealed from the outside making it near impossible for the goods inside to become moisture damaged. Moisture damage could be an expensive disaster, so it is well worth investing in timber packaging materials.
-Customisable
Timber packaging solutions are completely customisable. They can be designed and manufactured to meet a wide range of requirements. By having this flexibility, timber allows businesses to transport goods efficiently and economically, further reducing their costs.
-Low cost
Timber packing solutions are cheaper to source and manufacture than plastic and metal alternatives, so they are generally available at a lower price. This allows businesses to make significant long-term savings without compromising on quality.
-Space Utilization
Timber crates and pallets can easily be stacked on top of each other securely without damaging any of the goods inside. Compared to cardboard boxes, who wouldn’t have the strength to withstand much weight and are unable to be stacked. Timber crates are structurally strong, with thick walls and as a result are ideal for stacking. Plastic and other materials can be shaped for stacking but as they have thin walls, they do not have the right structural strength for more than 1 or 2 crates to be stacked. They are likely to give in to pressure and this is most likely to happen during transit- damaging the products.
