Professional Crating & Export Packaging Services for Machinery

Export packaging is specialized packaging designed to protect goods during international shipping. It includes custom crating, moisture barriers, corrosion prevention, and compliance with international standards like ISPM-15. Export packaging accounts for longer transit times, multiple handling points, varying climates, and customs inspections to ensure products arrive safely at overseas destinations.

An export packer is a specialized professional or company that designs and creates packaging solutions specifically for international shipping. Export packers have expertise in international regulations, shipping requirements, material selection, and custom crating to ensure goods are properly protected and compliant with destination country import standards.

Custom machinery crating costs vary based on equipment size, weight, complexity, and shipping destination. Factors include materials required, engineering design time, labor for construction, and compliance certifications needed. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your specific machinery and shipping requirements to ensure transparent, competitive pricing.

ISPM-15 is an international standard requiring wooden packaging materials to be heat-treated or fumigated to prevent pest transmission across borders. Compliance is mandatory for most international shipments using wood crating. Non-compliant packaging can result in shipment rejection, quarantine, or destruction at customs, causing significant delays and costs.

Timeline depends on machinery complexity and packaging requirements. Simple crating projects may take 3-5 business days, while complex heavy machinery packaging requiring custom engineering can take 2-3 weeks. We work closely with your shipping schedule and can expedite services when needed to meet critical deadlines.
