Services

Packing, cases and cargo, organised around the load

From a single bespoke crate to a container of packed plant, we plan the packing, make the timber, and get the consignment freight-ready. Based in Sparkbrook, Birmingham, we work with customers across the UK.

Service 01

Export packing

We pack consignments for air, sea and road freight, planning protection, lifting and marking around the load and the route it will take.

That can mean a fully enclosed timber case, an open crate, a skid-based pallet, or a combination of packing and container stow. The aim is always the same: the goods should arrive in the condition they left.

Wooden crates, cases and pallets

We design and make bespoke wooden packing cases, open shipping crates and pallets to the size, weight and lifting method of your goods. Two-way or four-way entry, strengthened lifting points and stackable designs are all part of the brief when they are needed.

Timber is ISPM15-compliant and heat-treated so cases, crates and pallets can travel internationally. Plywood and softwood cases are made to the specification of each consignment, from lighter goods to heavy industrial loads.

Container loading

A well-made case is only half the job if the stow in the container is left to chance. We load and secure cargo so it does not shift on the voyage — with dunnage, lashing, bracing and a stow plan that suits a full container or a part load.

We can also advise on packing that is designed from the outset to load cleanly, including skid bases and case sizes that make efficient use of the container.

Freight-ready packing

Export packing is not finished until the consignment is ready for the forwarder. We mark cases with weights, identification and handling information, and can provide packing lists to travel with the goods.

Lift points, centres of gravity and stacking limits are considered when the case is designed, so what leaves our works can be moved, lifted and stowed without guesswork.

Service 05

Industrial packaging

Plant, machinery and awkward or heavy items need packing that supports the load, protects finished surfaces and gives the lifting crew a clear, safe way to move the case.

We pack industrial consignments to a specification agreed with you, including additional internal support, protective wrapping and timber bases designed for the weight.

Case making, handling, storage and transport

Alongside export packing we make cases to order, handle cargo on site, and can hold packed consignments in secure short-term storage until they are ready to move.

Transport and freight forwarding can be arranged around the packing programme, so collection, packing and onward movement sit in one clear sequence rather than a string of unconnected jobs.
