Corrugated Containers
Craters & Freighters provides custom corrugated containers to meet any shipping need. Corrugated is a durable, versatile, and lightweight material used for custom-manufactured shipping containers. We use a minimum 275 lb double wall corrugated fiberboard, which is made up of three sheets of linerboard with two mediums or flutes in between when building custom corrugated boxes.
Wooden Crates
 Craters & Freighters fabricates custom wooden crates to protect items whose value or fragility requires the highest level of packaging. We offer a variety of crate styles designed to match the unique characteristics of each item we package, including size, weight, fragility, and orientation.
All crates are designed to be reusable. Moreover, all crates adhere to ISPM-15 ("bug stamp"), making them fully compliant with the requirements of participating countries.
Specialty Wooden Crates
Craters & Freighters routinely produces a variety of crates for specialty applications. In addition to the crates shown below, we can design and build crates for virtually any application you can imagine. A simple phone call or email begins the process!
Heavy Duty Skids & Pallets
Craters & Freighters produces skids and pallets to support anything from boxes of lightweight goods to heavy duty machinery. Given the key characteristics of your items such as the fragility, size, weight, and footprint, we can design the appropriate skid to ensure safe and easy transport.
 Inner Packaging
Craters & Freighters offers custom interior packaging for each container we build. Crates and containers are lined and filled with the appropriate amount of cushioning agents to ensure items are secure for shipping. Many factors are taken into consideration including dimensions, weight, fragility, mode of transport, and final destination requirements.
 Vapor Wrap Packaging
Vapor bags can be used for the ultimate security of your items. The bags are custom fitted to your items and then vacuum sealed for excellent barrier protection. They will protect against water vapor, oil, grease, acids, alkalines, oxygen transmission, biological contaminates, odor, ultra violet rays, product degradation, salt & chlorides (sea waters), and humidity.
