Wood Crates

Ruggedized transport packaging for medical devices that need to survive demanding shipping environments. Custom foam-lined wooden crates; we engineer solutions for fragile instruments, capital equipment, and large device systems.

Medical devices in transit face vibration, shock, humidity, and temperature extremes that standard packaging can't always handle. Our wood crates are engineered for devices that require a higher level of protection — from surgical robots and capital equipment to fragile optical instruments and sterile implantable sets.

Wood Crates Capabilities

Custom Wood Crates

Heat-treated (ISPM 15-compliant) wood crates in custom dimensions for medical capital equipment, large instruments, and devices requiring rigid outer protection during domestic and international shipping.

Plywood & OSB Construction

Crates constructed from structural plywood or oriented strand board (OSB) depending on load requirements and budget. Plywood for highest strength-to-weight ratio; OSB for cost-effective heavy-duty applications. All materials ISPM 15 heat-treated for international shipment.

Custom Foam Interiors

Die-cut polyethylene, polyurethane, and cross-linked PE foam inserts engineered to immobilize and protect device components during transit. Custom profiled to your exact device geometry.

Weather & Moisture Protection

Vapor barrier liners, desiccant packs, and moisture-resistant coatings available for devices sensitive to humidity and temperature changes during long-haul or international shipment. Interior lining options protect against condensation and environmental exposure.

ISPM 15 Compliance

All wood packaging materials supplied with heat treatment certification per ISPM 15 standards, required for international shipment. Documentation provided with every order.

Custom Labeling & Markings

Shipping labels, handling markings (fragile, this side up, temperature), and UDI-compatible labeling applied to all transport packaging to meet domestic and international regulatory requirements.

Why Primary Packaging Resources

Wood Crates

Most packaging distributors stop at corrugated. We provide complete wood crate solutions — from the outer crate construction to the custom foam interior — so your device arrives at the point of use exactly as it left your facility.

About Us →
Foam & Crate Integration

We design and supply both the outer wood crate and the custom foam interior as a single integrated system — no separate vendors to coordinate.
