Shipping Crates
Custom Shipping Crates for Secure Transport and Storage
When it comes to shipping large, heavy, or fragile products, standard packaging solutions often fall short. Custom shipping crates offer the highest level of protection for your valuable goods during transit and storage, ensuring they arrive safely and intact. At AWALT Concepts & Engineering, we specialize in designing and manufacturing custom shipping crates tailored to meet the unique needs of industries like aerospace, medical, military, industrial, and technology. Whether you need a heavy-duty solution for machinery, electronics, or other critical equipment, our custom crates are built to safeguard your products every step of the way.
Our Process
Step 1: Consultation & Needs Assessment
Our process begins with a detailed consultation to understand your specific shipping requirements. We work closely with you to learn about your product’s dimensions, weight, fragility, and any environmental challenges it may face during transit. Our goal is to design a shipping crate that provides the best protection and meets your operational needs, budget, and timeline.
Step 2: Design & Customization
Once we have a thorough understanding of your needs, our team moves to the design phase. Custom shipping crates can be made from a variety of materials such as plywood, corrugated board, and steel, depending on your product’s specific requirements. Our experts incorporate features like custom foam inserts, secure locks, reinforced corners, and internal dividers to ensure the safety of your products. Each crate is designed with your product’s protection and ease of use in mind, providing a customized solution to reduce the risk of damage during transport.
Step 3: Prototype Development
Once the design is finalized, we create a prototype of the custom shipping crate. This allows you to review the design and functionality, ensuring it meets all of your specifications. If necessary, we make adjustments to perfect the crate’s fit and functionality. The prototype serves as a model for the full-scale production process.
Step 4: Tooling & Production
After the prototype is approved, we begin the production phase. We use high-quality materials and state-of-the-art machinery to build each crate with precision. Whether it’s a one-off custom crate or a large batch, our team follows strict quality control guidelines to ensure that each crate meets our high standards of durability, strength, and performance. Custom features such as custom branding, handling instructions, or specific weight tolerance markings are added at this stage.
Step 5: Quality Assurance & Testing
Before the custom shipping crates are sent out for delivery, we conduct thorough testing to ensure they meet all necessary requirements for durability, impact resistance, and weatherproofing. We perform tests like drop tests and weight load assessments to simulate real-world shipping conditions. This ensures that your products will be safely protected from damage during transport and arrive in perfect condition.
Step 5: Delivery & Shipping
Once your custom shipping crates are completed and quality-approved, we handle all aspects of delivery. Whether you need them delivered to your warehouse, shipping port, or directly to your customers, we ensure that they are shipped in a timely and efficient manner. We also offer inventory management services and just-in-time delivery options to meet your needs.
