Every Service Exists to Protect Your Shipment
Custom crating, export packaging, on-site field work, and logistics support – built around the shipment, not a catalog.
Custom Industrial Crating
Built-to-Spec for What You're Actually Shipping
Off-the-shelf crates don’t account for your equipment’s weight distribution, lift points, fragility, or destination. We evaluate all of it before we cut a board.
- Open and closed wood crate designs
- Crate design for weight and load optimization
- Heavy-duty crates for machinery and valves
- Weatherproof and moisture-barrier lined crates
- Collapsible and knock-down crates
- Crate refurbishment and repair
We evaluate: dimensions, weight, center of gravity, forklift and crane lift points, stacking requirements, moisture exposure, destination, and export compliance — before we spec the build.
Export Packaging / ISPM-15
Compliant From the First Board. No Guesswork.
ISPM-15 enforcement resumed January 2026. A missed stamp or incorrect treatment documentation can hold your shipment at the port or send it back. We handle compliance end-to-end.
- Heat-treated, debarked, and IPPC-stamped packaging
- Full compliance documentation and packing lists
- Export packaging consulting and pre-ship review
- International shipping preparation
- Container loading optimization
Treatment: Heat Treatment (HT) | Standard: ISPM-15/IPPC | Core Temp: 56°C / 30 min | Documentation: Full Package
On-Site Packaging Services
We Come to Your Facility. Your Team Stays Focused.
Not every shipment can move to a shop first. When equipment is too large, too sensitive, or too time-critical to transport before packaging, we send the crew to you.
- On-site crating and packaging at your facility
- On-site palletizing and load securing
- Shipment prep and blocking & bracing
- Project-based packaging crews for large programs
- Emergency and same-day crating services
Houston metro and Gulf Coast. For jobs outside our standard range, contact us – we’ve handled on-site work across Texas and beyond.
Pallets & Skids
Sized for the Load. Built for the Carrier.
Standard pallets fail under heavy or irregular loads. We build custom pallets and skids designed around your equipment’s actual weight, footprint, and forklift access requirements.
- Custom pallets in standard and non-standard sizes
- Heavy-duty skids for machinery and equipment
- Heat-treated pallets (ISPM-15 compliant)
- Reinforced and double-stacked pallets
- Pallet design optimized for weight and load
- Pallet recycling and repair programs
Protective Packaging
Protecting Against More Than Impact
Transit damage doesn’t only come from drops and collisions. Moisture, corrosion, vibration, and condensation destroy equipment that looked perfectly packaged from the outside.
- Vapor barrier packaging for moisture-sensitive equipment
- VCI (volatile corrosion inhibitor) protection
- Vacuum sealing for long-term or ocean freight
- Foam inserts and custom cushioning
- Shrink wrapping and stretch wrapping
- Blocking & bracing for load stability
Logistics Support
Packaging and Freight That Move Together
A crate sitting on the dock waiting for freight coordination isn’t solved. We align packaging readiness with carrier pickup and delivery requirements so the timeline holds.
- Freight coordination — LTL, FTL, and specialized
- Oversized and overweight shipment coordination
- Route planning for oversized loads
- Rigging coordination with trusted partners
- Load stabilization design
