Exporting goods can be a complex process and finding the right material is half the battle. Wooden crates are a favourite when it comes to exporting goods around the world. At Integrated Timber Solutions Ltd manufactures export crates for clients across Ireland and the UK.

Benefits of Wooden Crates

We know when your business is exporting products there is a constant worry of damaging products during packaging and shipping. Wooden crates are used to ship larger and heavier items as they can be a lot more durable than other materials if they are taken care of correctly, i.e. using ISPM 15 Packaging.

The main reasons ITS advocate for wooden crates is:

  • Wooden crates can handle large and heavy items
  • They are easy to manufacture 
  • They are great for added security and protection 
  • With the correct protection (ISPM 15), they can last after multiple shipping journeys 
  • These crates are completely natural
  • They can be manufactured and repaired locally 
  • Customers can choose from the set design or custom design a crate to suit their needs

 

The Durability of Wooden Crates

Integrated Timber Solutions understand that factors such as the durability of the materials, the environmental friendliness, cost of the materials, and convenience in distributing particular commodities influence your choice of packaging materials. This is why we choose the best wood for our wooden crates. They have always been used for exporting all kinds of products all over the world. We use high quality wood and other durable materials to manufacture crates to your exact specifications. Our team at ITS assesses the size, weight and item you wish to package and ship and from there decide how to go forward with the construction of your packaging.

ISPM 15 Certified

Good treatment is the key to a durable wooden crate. Integrated Timber Solutions are delighted to say we are a ISPM 15 Certified Packaging company, but what does this mean? 

The ISPM 15 standard was created to reduce the risk of transferring beetles, termites and pests via packaged crates and pallets. This standard advocates that every wood packaging material must be debarked, heat treated and stamped with a mark of compliance. We have noticed more and more products are being used to ship freight abroad so becoming a certified ISPM 15 company was essential for us at Integrated Timber Solutions.
