Custom Crating
Custom Crating Services in Northern Virginia
PURPOSE-BUILT CRATES
The engineers at Craters & Freighters Northern Virginia create custom wooden crating and packaging solutions for the items we ship, ensuring they arrive safe and undamaged. Our custom crating services team draws from many resources including an extensive MIL-Spec library, AutoCAD, and crating and cushioning software. With decades of experience behind us, we are able to leverage our invaluable insight and knowledge in custom crating. We’ve successfully managed custom packing for everything from priceless pieces of art to sensitive medical devices to massive construction parts.
Specializing in Optimal Cushioning Systems and Customized Inner Packaging
Determining the best container to match your item is a critical step. However, for various items, discouraging shock and vibration can be just as important. That’s why we are specialists in developing and utilizing the precise cushioning and wrapping materials based on every item’s individual weight, fragility, and vibration sensitivity. Accurately securing your contents inside the box or wooden crate is the final step to ensuring your shipment will be protected during the unpredictable challenges of the shipping environment. We will thoroughly assess the item to be shipped and use advanced materials such as polyethylene and polyurethane foams to create safe housing while en route.
You can depend on our custom packaging to provide just as much necessary protection and security as the crate itself- from start to finish. Some of our cushioning and packaging options are:
- Anti-static packaging
- Corrugated packaging
- Cushioning
- Heat shrink wrapping
- Hard shell cases
- Vapor barrier packaging
At Northern Virginia’s Craters & Freighters we make it our mission to get your belongings where they’re going effectively and efficiently. Our custom packing and cushioning systems are expertly engineered for the safety of your specific item.
