Custom Wood Crating
We design and build custom wooden crates sized to your exact cargo dimensions, providing maximum structural protection for heavy, bulky, or irregularly shaped freight during LTL, FTL, or air cargo transport.
Protect your most valuable freight with custom-engineered crating built to withstand the rigors of long-haul transport. At ShipMate+ in Vista, CA, our experienced team designs and builds crates sized precisely for your cargo — from industrial equipment to delicate trade show displays — ensuring every shipment arrives intact, on time, and claim-free.
From oversized industrial equipment to fragile valuables, we build precision crates engineered for every freight challenge.
We design and build custom wooden crates sized to your exact cargo dimensions, providing maximum structural protection for heavy, bulky, or irregularly shaped freight during LTL, FTL, or air cargo transport.
Fragile machinery, electronics, artwork, and trade show displays require expert handling. Our specialty crating uses foam inserts, cushioning, and reinforced panels to prevent movement and absorb transit shock.
We professionally palletize, band, shrink-wrap, and secure your cargo to carrier-ready standards, minimizing damage claims and ensuring your freight meets LTL and FTL carrier requirements before it leaves our facility.
Shipping freight overseas demands ISPM-15 compliant heat-treated wood crating. We prepare internationally certified crates that meet customs requirements and protect cargo from the added stresses of sea and air freight.
Our team evaluates your item's dimensions, weight, fragility, and shipping mode to engineer a crating solution on the spot — no guesswork, no oversized waste, and no unnecessary added shipping weight.
Beyond crating, we connect crated shipments directly to our network of 40+ freight, LTL, and air cargo carriers — handling pickup scheduling, rate comparison, and documentation so your cargo ships efficiently.
In Vista and throughout Southern California, businesses rely on ShipMate+ to build custom crates that genuinely protect their freight. Whether you're shipping industrial machinery, high-value electronics, or fragile trade show assets, our team designs each crate to your cargo's exact specifications. We handle wood selection, interior cushioning, and carrier compliance — so you avoid costly damage claims and supply chain disruptions caused by inadequate packaging.
