Plywood Boxes

PLY BOX FEATURES

We offer custom-made plywood boxes, or plyboxes, tailored to meet the specific packaging needs of your product. Whether you need a ply box for delicate equipment or a robust packaging solution for heavy machinery, our team can design and manufacture a plybox that fits your exact requirements.

Lightweight Our plywood boxes are lightweight compared to crates and cases, which reduces shipping costs and simplifies handling. Despite their light weight, these ply boxes deliver the strength needed to protect your items during transit.

Impact Resistant Plywood is impact-resistant by design. It’s made from layers of wood veneer that are glued together in alternating grain patterns. This construction gives plywood its strength and durability, allowing it to absorb and distribute impact forces more effectively than solid wood or other materials. Our plywood boxes can be constructed to be impact-resistant, ensuring that your goods remain secure even under rough handling conditions. This vibration-free base feature is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your items throughout their journey.

Weather Resistant Designed to withstand various weather conditions, our plywood boxes provide reliable protection against rain, humidity, and other environmental factors. This weather resistance helps keep your items safe and intact during transportation and storage.

Corrosion Resistant We can add VCI layers and material in our plywood boxes which are chosen for their corrosion resistance, maintaining the box’s durability even in harsh environments. This rust resistance ensures that your plywood boxes continue to perform effectively over time

Add-Ons for Enhanced Protection and Functionality

To ensure the utmost protection and functionality for your items, we offer a range of add-ons for our plywood boxes. These features are designed to cater to specific needs, enhancing both security and the overall safety of your cargo.

Tilt Dividers: To protect sensitive items from excessive movement during transport, we offer tilt dividers. These adjustable dividers help to secure your items at the correct angle, minimizing the risk of damage due to shifting or improper positioning. Ideal for delicate equipment or items with specific handling requirements, these dividers ensure your cargo stays secure throughout its journey.

Shock Indicators: For added assurance, we can include shock indicators on our plywood boxes and timber crates. These devices detect and record any significant impacts during transit, allowing you to monitor how your shipment has been handled. If the shock indicators show excessive movement or impact, you’ll have clear evidence, ensuring that your cargo arrives in optimal condition.

Heavy-Duty Latches: Our heavy-duty latches keep your plywood box securely closed during transport. These latches ensure a reliable seal, preventing accidental openings and protecting the contents from external elements.

Locks: For additional security, we provide robust locks that safeguard your plywood box against tampering. These locks are essential for high-value items, offering peace of mind that your cargo is secure throughout its journey.

Hinges: Our durable hinges facilitate easy access to your plywood box while maintaining its integrity. Designed to withstand the rigors of transport, these hinges ensure the case remains securely closed and prevents accidental openings.

Dividers: To keep items separated and organized, we can include dividers within the plywood box. These individual compartments ensure that each item is held securely in place, preventing damage from shifting during transit.

Ramps: For easier loading and unloading, we offer ramps that are compatible with items on wheels. These ramps simplify the process of moving equipment in and out of the box.

VCI Protection: To guard against rust and corrosion, we include VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) protection. This feature provides an extra layer of defense, especially for metal components or machinery that might be exposed to moisture.

Foam Lining: We offer custom foam lining tailored to the specific dimensions of your items. This foam lining cushions the contents, providing shock absorption and reducing the risk of damage from vibrations or impacts during transit.

Foam Inserts: For added protection, our foam inserts are designed to fit precisely around your items. These inserts prevent movement within the box, ensuring that delicate or sensitive equipment remains securely in place and protected from external forces.

Internal Bracing: To enhance stability, our plywood boxes can be equipped with internal bracing. This feature provides additional support and helps distribute weight evenly, reducing the risk of damage to the box and its contents during handling and transport.

When required, you can easily and quickly assemble these cases using the included instructions. This option is ideal if you want to manage storage efficiently and don't mind taking a few extra steps to put the cases together.

Fully Assembled Plywood Boxes: If you prefer a ready-to-use solution, our fully assembled plywood boxes are available. These boxes come pre-built and are ready for immediate use upon delivery. This option is convenient for situations where you need a packaging solution quickly and without the need for assembly.

Timber Base Options

At Crate n Pack Solutions, we understand the foundation of a high quality wooden crate or case,  starts with a reliable timber base. We manufacture high quality timber bases designed to hold all weights from 50kg up to 30 tonne. Our timber bases are designed to offer optimal support and protection for your goods during transportation and storage.

Light Duty Timber Bases

Light-duty timber bases are manufactured using 'thinner than standard' timbers and and construction methods. These bases are suitable for applications where the weight and impact protection needs are relatively low. Best suited for lighter items and general-purpose use where heavy-duty protection is not required. Ideal for everyday shipping and storage needs where cost-efficiency is a priority.

Heavy Duty Timber Bases

Heavy-duty timber bases are constructed with heavy duty timbers and designed to handle substantial weight and stress. They are designed to support heavy and oversized items. Essential for transporting large machinery, equipment, and other heavy goods that require extra strength and durability. These bases are crucial in sectors like mining, construction, and manufacturing where equipment is often bulky and heavy. Our heavy duty timber bases deliver exceptional strength and stability, ensuring safe transport for large and heavy items. Heavy-duty bases are built to withstand significant pressure and rough handling, providing peace of mind during transit.

Vibration-Free Timber Bases

Vibration-free timber bases are designed with additional cushioning or damping materials to minimise vibrations and shocks. This feature helps protect sensitive equipment from potential damage during transport. Ideal for electronics, precision machinery, and any items sensitive to vibrations and impacts. Essential for high-value or delicate goods that require extra care. Our vibration-free timber bases protects delicate and high-value equipment from vibrations and shocks, ensuring smooth and stable transit. This type of base addresses the growing need for specialised solutions to protect sensitive machinery and electronics.

Open Slatted Timber Bases

Open slatted timber bases, otherwise known as a pallet base, features a design with gaps between the slats, allowing for air circulation. This design prevents moisture buildup and ensures proper airflow around the goods. Ideal for items that require ventilation, such as certain agricultural products or delicate machinery. Also suitable for lightweight items where robust support is not necessary. Provides excellent ventilation to prevent mould and deterioration, while remaining cost-effective and practical for less demanding applications. Historically, this design has been used to address the need for airflow and moisture control, making it a trusted choice for various industries.

Choosing the Right Timber Base

Selecting the appropriate timber base depends on several factors:

Weight of Goods: For heavy items, opt for heavy-duty or fully enclosed timber bases. For lighter items, light-duty or open slatted bases may be sufficient.
Ventilation Needs: If your items require airflow, choose open slatted bases. For maximum protection against environmental factors, fully enclosed bases are ideal.
Vibration Sensitivity: For items sensitive to vibrations, vibration-free timber bases will provide the necessary protection.
