Timber cases (wooden crates)

Timber Cases and Wooden Crates

Our wooden crates provide reliable protection for heavy or delicate products in transit or storage. Each timber case is made from 6mm birch plywood, giving strong support for substantial loads and helping keep fragile items secure throughout handling and export. 

All timber used is sourced from sustainable materials and supplied in line with ISPM15 standards, making the range suitable for international shipments that require heat-treated wood. With a selection of sizes and the option to choose a flat wooden base or a pallet base, you can find the right case for your products. 

Why Choose Our Timber Cases (Wooden Crates)?

Our timber cases provide firm protection for heavy or delicate items, combining strong plywood panels with export-ready features that make them reliable for transport and long-term storage.

Strong Protection for Heavy or Fragile Items

Each crate is produced from 6mm birch plywood to give dependable support during transport. The design allows the cases to hold several hundred kilos when required, and they can be stacked two or three high in storage or transit. This strength makes them ideal for substantial loads, delicate goods, machinery components, and other products that need firm, enclosed protection. Their plywood panels provide a durable, sturdy structure that supports heavy loads and protects delicate items during handling.

ISPM15 Compliant for Export

The timber cases meet ISPM15 requirements, meaning every crate is heat treated so it can be shipped worldwide without issues at customs. This treatment helps prevent the spread of pests and unwanted wildlife through wooden packaging, which is a key requirement for many countries.. A copy of the heat treatment certificate is available to download directly from the page for your records. 

Sustainable, Quality Materials

All timber used in the crates is sourced from sustainable suppliers, supporting responsible production and long-term availability of raw materials. The birch plywood provides consistent quality, giving you confidence in the performance and reliability of each case during transport and export.

Flexible Crate Options to Suit Your Project

Our wooden crates come in a range of sizes and formats so you can find the right option for your products. The range includes timber cases with or without a pallet base, giving you a variety of ways to store and move heavy items. Every crate is supplied flat packed with hinged walls, making the cases easy to assemble on site and suitable for many projects where strong, reliable and versatile materials are needed.

With or Without a Pallet Base

You can order each crate as a box only or as a box with a wooden pallet base. The box-only option is ideal when the case will be lifted or stacked manually, or when it will sit on shelving or inside controlled storage areas. Choosing a pallet base is a perfect option when you need quicker handling with pallet trucks or forklifts, or when the crate will form part of a larger shipment. Both versions offer the same strong plywood build and enclosed protection for your items.

Flat Packed With Hinged Walls for Easy Assembly

All crates are delivered flat packed, helping you store them efficiently before use and keeping delivery costs down. The hinged walls make the assembly process straightforward, and most users can put a case together in around two minutes. You can use nails or screws during assembly, depending on your project needs. A step-by-step video is available on the page so you can check how the process works before beginning, helping you create a secure case in minutes.

Available in a Variety of Sizes

The range includes several sizes, with both internal and external details listed in the table above. This helps you choose the right crate size for your products and understand the space available once the case is assembled. Internal measurements show the usable room for your items, while external measurements give the full footprint of the case, including the base. These measurements help you choose the case that offers the right footprint, whether you need a landscape or portrait style layout for your products.
