Our services help regional commercial and industrial professionals stay productive with their domestic and international shipping needs. Information is another priceless asset you can get from our company. Through years of industry experience, we know the ins and outs of packaging, crating, and shipping. Below, we have started the process by answering a multitude of frequently asked questions.

Which Items Need a Wooden Shipping Crate?

High-value assets like medical lasers, fragile electronics, and heavy industrial engines demand the structural integrity only timber provides. If your cargo is oddly shaped, extremely heavy, or sensitive to vibration, a custom-built crate ensures it survives the rigors of ocean freight without shifting or sustaining damage.

What Is the Cost of a Custom Crate?

In Georgia, custom crating typically ranges from $300 to over $1,500 per unit. Local lumber prices and labor rates influence this baseline. Final quotes hinge on dimensions, weight capacity, and specialized internal cushioning. Additionally, international shipments require ISPM-15 export-compliant heat-treated crates, which adds to the total expense for Atlanta-based exporters.

How Long Does It Take to Build a Custom Crate?

Building a bespoke wooden container usually requires two to five business days. This timeframe fluctuates based on design complexity, such as integrating shock-absorbing foam or heavy-duty bases for machinery. Large-scale production runs or sourcing specific heat-treated timber for overseas transport can also extend the scheduling beyond a standard 48-hour turnaround.

Do You Provide Crating for Heavy Industrial Machinery and Equipment?

Yes, we have options like on-site crating and specialized crates for a broad range of commercial and industrial equipment, including heavy machinery and equipment. Few examples of equipment we can crate include sensitive or fragile machinery, heavy industrial engines, and vehicles like ATVs and motorcycles. You can pair our crating with custom packaging for the best results.

What Is Your Custom Crating Process?

The fabrication cycle begins by precisely measuring the machinery’s dimensions and weight distribution to ensure structural integrity. Atlanta International Packaging and Crate then assembles a rugged base, followed by walls reinforced with internal blocking. This tailored approach prevents shifting during transit. We always use high-grade materials to safeguard sensitive industrial assets against volatile shipping environments and handling.

Do You Offer Custom Crates in Various Shapes?

As a seasoned packaging and crating company, we understand that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work when crating and shipping commercial and industrial equipment and items. With this in mind, we can create custom crates with the dimensions that fit your specific freight, ensuring it is safe and secure while in transit.

Do You Provide International Shipping?

You can rely on Atlanta International Packaging and Crate for solutions to your international shipping service needs. We offer essential services like heat-treated wooden crates that meet the requirements for international shipping, ensuring your goods do not get held up or rejected from entering another country.

Do You Offer Nationwide Shipping?

Domestic shipping services are within our wheelhouse, and we will gladly help you get your crates to their nationwide destinations.

Do You Manage Shipping for Art, Antiques, and High‑Value Fragile Items?

These items are few of our specialties as a packaging, crating, and shipping company. We have essential service options like on-site crating and custom packaging to carefully prepare and crate these items in secure containers. You can count on us to use the industry’s most trusted methods and materials to keep your valuable items safe during transit.

Do You Offer ISPM‑15 Compliant Crates for Export?

Absolutely. All our heat-treated crates are built with lumber that is completely ISPM-15 compliant. This stipulation means that the wood heated to at least 56 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes or longer at its core temperature. Our company only purchases heat-treated lumber that features the heat-treated stamp, Timber Products audits us every month to ensure we adhere to all requirements.

Can I Order a Standalone Crate Without Shipping or Packing Services?

While the best way to take advantage of our services is to combine them with comprehensive experience, you can also keep your order to a simple, standalone crate. However, we will gladly manage all the packaging, crating, and shipping details if you want to make your service experience as convenient and secure as possible.

Do You Provide On‑Site Crating Services?

Yes, Atlanta International Packaging and Crate proudly offers on-site crating services to simplify your shipment process and ensure your items are secure and ready to endure the shipping process. You can even count on us for same- and next-day services. For more information, don’t hesitate to reach out to us with questions and to start your order.
