Wooden shipping crates
Wooden shipping crates are at the heart of Foresco Packaging. They protect valuable, fragile and heavy goods during transport, often to international destinations. Reliability, sustainability and compliance with export requirements play a central role in this.
Developed around logistics and application
Every wooden shipping crate is designed around the product and the way it will be transported. Weight, dimensions, handling and destination determine the construction. From compact crates to heavy-duty versions with lifting provisions, the construction always reflects logistical reality and is suitable for both domestic and international transport.
Value engineering in every design step
At Foresco, we apply value engineering throughout the design process. Through upstream 3D designing, we reduce material usage and avoid over-packaging. In this way, we cut waste streams and reduce the risk of transport damage, without compromising on protection.
Materials, protection and finishes
For our crates, we mainly use spruce, optionally supplemented with steel for fastening and lifting protection. Cardboard or material combinations are also used for specific applications. Crates can be fitted with additional corrosion protection (VAS laminate or VCI), HT treatment, vibration and shock absorption, inspection windows, Tiltwatch, rain covers and moisture-resistant foil. All versions comply with current ISPM 15 requirements.
Bespoke where needed, standard where possible
Machinery manufacturers, industrial producers, exporters, transport companies and industrial movers make frequent use of our wooden shipping crates. Depending on the application, we supply both standard crates and bespoke solutions. Our engineers actively help determine the right solution. The process is clearly organised: from enquiry and design to production and delivery, with short lines of communication between sales, engineering, production and logistics.
Sustainable where possible
Full circularity is not always feasible with crates, especially as they are used for one-way transport. Even so, we consistently incorporate sustainability into our designs and material choices. We work with PEFC-certified timber, and offcuts are given a second life through blocks that are reused in pallet production. In this way, the material flow remains as efficient as possible.
Looking ahead with smart technology
Digitalisation and automation help us design faster and more accurately. By making use of customers’ 3D data and product information, we continue to optimise the packaging process. In this way, we keep building efficient and future-ready packaging.
