Crates for packaging - Import export

As with our packing cases and crates, we can build standard, specialist or advanced wooden pallets to any size to suit your needs and securely hold your goods. Whether you’re transporting small car parts, off-centre loads or 10m long flood defence barriers, we can manufacture the ideal pallets for your needs. Constructed from heat-treated timber, our wooden pallets are fully ISPM15 compliant and are correctly marked with documentation to ease the import and export procedure. We source our timber from sustainable sources, wherever possible. As our wooden pallets are made to meet your exact needs, we can produce them with two-way or four-way entry and solid or slatted tops, so you can configure the perfect configuration for your needs. We can also create pallets for you to use as stillages, with a frame added to support products such as glass or steel panels. Licensed euro pallets and round or winged timber pallets are also available, upon request.

Whether you require wooden Euro pallets, timber packing cases or packing crates; we can design, manufacture and pack your valuable goods in durable and secure export packaging. Taking into account the dimensions, weight, nature of the goods and securing methods required, we create bespoke packaging and provide additional safety measures (such as silica desiccant and foil barrier bags) to ensure safety in transit. Compliant with ISPM15 standards, all our timber export packaging is correctly marked and comes with documentation to ease the import and export process. We’re audited every 6 months to ensure we’re meeting the exacting needs of our industry, so you can buy from us in confidence, knowing you’re purchasing a high-quality product that is up to standard.

Our timber packaging solutions are designed to facilitate the simple, streamlined and professional transportation and relocation of your valuable goods and equipment. Our specially designed and custom-made timber packaging is available in the form of packing cases, wooden pallets and packing crates, that are all fully compliant with ISPM15 regulations and come complete with documentation to ease the import and export process. We provide an onsite packing service where we come to you and package items at your location, a great solution for large, heavy or awkwardly shaped items. We’ve provided this service for items such as antique musical instruments, heavy machinery from mines and have even packaged up entire factories, ahead of relocation overseas. Onsite packing is also a great solution if you’ve purchased an item at an auction or an antique shop and need to have the item packed and transported.

Our packing cases are our core product and the one most frequently chosen by our customers. Offering comprehensive protection for goods, thanks to their enclosed and sealed design; our wooden packing cases are a great option for exporting goods overseas or across the UK. Constructed with a timber base and frame, the sides are a strong sheet material, designed for durability, with the option of adding a protective lining. We can manufacture packing cases in any size you require, to meet the product’s needs and can supply them flat-packed (for you to assemble around the load) or fully assembled with a screwed lid (for you to load). Our cases can be stacked, to help maximise valuable shipping space. We can also manufacture packing crates, with slatted sides and a solid top and base. This design offers all-round physical protection for your goods, whilst leaving them visible to facilitate a simpler customs inspection, as there’s no need to repackage afterwards.

This large container is called a closed big box because of its closed side walls. The content of this variant is particularly well protected against external influences. Thanks to the integrated plastic pallet , the closed big boxes are also very stable. Large containers are therefore ideal for storing and transporting large and bulky products safely.

ISPM15 is an international standard for phytosanitary measures which is being progressively implemented throughout the world. Already some 28 countries have adopted the standard; a further 21 are in the progress of doing so and about another hundred countries have signalled their intension to bring the requirement to their national regulations. Countries which have signed up to ispm-15 are entitled to refuse entry at their frontiers to goods on wooden pallets, crates, spools or any other wood packaging unless it has been treated, marked and certified in accordance with their regulations. Associated Pallets Ltd has been providing a heat treatment which meets the demands of ISPM-15 and since the introduction of the plant some four years ago, has become experienced in all needs of the wood packaging producer and user.
