CUSTOM CRATING & EXPORT PACKAGING

Every crate is built for
one shipment, one route

No two shipments carry the same risk. ELCO World designs and builds crates, cases, and cushioning engineered around the item, the route, and the handling it will face along the way.

ABOUT CRATING

Built to survive the handling, not just the drawing

Our crating team designs around real handling conditions — forklift entry points, stacking loads, vibration on long transit, and the moisture exposure of a sea voyage — not just the item's dimensions.

Every crate is fabricated from heat-treated, ISPM-15 certified timber and finished with cushioning matched to the fragility and weight of what's inside, whether that's a single art piece or a full production line.

HOW A CRATE IS BUILT

From measurement to load test

01 — Assessment & Measurement

We inspect the item, record exact dimensions and weight distribution, and identify fragile or load-bearing points before any material is cut.

02

02 — Design & Material Selection

Crate style, timber grade, and cushioning are selected based on route, transit mode, and handling risk along the way.

03 — Build & Cushioning

The crate is fabricated in-house, with foam, bracing, and moisture barriers fitted around the item, not the other way around.

04 — Load Test & Certification

Every crate is checked for stability before dispatch and stamped with ISPM-15 and shipment documentation.
