Industrial and sea-freight packaging: what leaves must arrive

A machine, a mould, an electrical cabinet, a one-off part that would take months to replace: these are not parcels, they are risks. We pack them to specification, in our workshops or at your site.

✓ At your site or in our workshop✓ Designed to your specification✓ Custom blocking & cradle✓ Waterproof cover✓ ISPM 15 & IPPC if required

On site or in the workshop — the part decides

A part that can travel comes to us: our workshops receive it, secure it and close the crate. A part that cannot move — too heavy, already installed, or one you do not want to handle twice — is packed at your site, by our team and with our timber.

In both cases the approach is the same: we start from the part, not from a catalogue. Dimensions, weight, lifting points, fragile areas, mode of transport, destination and storage time — these decide the thickness, the blocking, the cradle, the cover and the marking.

What sea-freight packaging includes

The crate

sized for the real load and the lifting points, not for the apparent overall dimensions.

Blocking and bracing

cradle, chocks, strapping: the part must not move during weeks at sea.

Protection

waterproof cover or barrier against humidity and salt air, depending on the duration and the mode of transport.

Marking

ISPM 15 treatment and IPPC mark when the destination requires it — our official number is FR-RH-02893 HT.

Frequently asked questions about industrial and sea-freight packaging

Do you work at our site?

Yes. It is even the usual case for heavy parts or parts already installed: our team travels with the timber and packs on the spot, which avoids one more handling operation — often the moment when what you wanted to protect gets damaged.

What is the difference from a standard wooden crate?

A crate protects a product. Sea-freight packaging protects a product for weeks, in a salt-laden environment, handled by people who do not know what is inside. That changes the thickness, the blocking, the waterproofing and the marking.

Is ISPM 15 treatment always applied?

No: it is required for solid wood going to most countries outside the European Union. We carry it out and apply the mark when the destination requires it. See our ISPM 15 export packaging page.

Do you work to the customer’s specification?

Yes, and it is the rule whenever an industrial principal is involved. Send us yours: our design office tells you what is feasible, what is not, and what would be better done differently.

What sizes can you handle?

We build up to oversize dimensions — our longest project is an oversize pallet. If your part is outside the standards, that is precisely our field: see oversize & large format.

Describe the part, not the crate

Dimensions, weight, lifting points, destination, transport time: our design office designs the packaging and prices it for you.
