What types of wooden packaging do we manufacture?

Custom rigid solutions for every product, weight and destination.

Wooden crates

Open or closed slat construction that secures and ventilates bulky parts, with high strength for stacking and transport.

Wooden boxes

Fully enclosed packaging with solid walls that protects against dust, impacts and weather, ideal for sensitive or high-value equipment.

Ocean-freight crating

Built to withstand ocean transport conditions: humidity, vibration and heavy handling at ports and on board ships.

Frames and lids

Wooden bases, frames and lids that complement pallets and crates, securing the load for the entire journey.

Wooden reels

Reels for cable, hose and industrial rolls, built with the strength required for heavy weights and large diameters.

Custom design

Special packaging projects designed by our engineering team based on product, weight, fragility and mode of transport.

High-value equipment

Custom protection for critical loads

When you're shipping machinery, molds or sensitive equipment, a generic crate isn't enough. We design the crating around your product, with internal bracing, cushioning and reinforcements where they matter most.

Can wooden crates be used for export?

Yes. Like any solid wood packaging, crates and boxes that cross borders must comply with NOM-144-SEMARNAT and the international ISPM 15 standard. That means heat treatment (HT) that raises the core of the wood to 56 °C for 30 minutes to eliminate pests, plus marking with the IPPC stamp that certifies it at customs.

At BestPack Solutions we treat and mark every crate to the standard, so your equipment arrives at its destination meeting phytosanitary requirements, with no fumigation and no fines. If your project combines rigid crating with bases or pallets, see also our heat-treated (HT) export pallets, which integrate seamlessly with crates and boxes in the same shipment.

Key fact: HT treatment applies to the packaging, not to your product. Your machinery travels protected inside a clean, chemical-free crate accepted in more than 180 countries.

Are wooden crates suitable for fruit and vegetables?

Yes. Wooden crates are among the most widely used agricultural packaging for fruit and vegetables because they combine ventilation, strength and rigidity. The open slat structure lets air circulate, supports the cold chain and reduces condensation and mold; at the same time it withstands stacking without crushing the product, from harvest and packing through to the point of sale or export.

We build agricultural crates sized to each crop and to the pallet or container. Common sizes include 40x30 cm and 60x40 cm formats, as well as bushel-type crates and larger-volume bins, adjusting length, width, height and slat spacing to the weight and fragility of the fruit or vegetable. For tomatoes, chili peppers, avocados, citrus, strawberries, grapes and fresh vegetables, we design the crate that best protects each product.

When the destination is perishables export, we apply heat treatment (HT) in compliance with NOM-144 and ISPM 15 with IPPC marking, so your shipments cross the border meeting phytosanitary requirements. These crates integrate with our heat-treated (HT) export pallets in the same agricultural shipment.

Why have BestPack Solutions build your wooden crates?

A good crate isn't picked from a catalog: it's engineered. Wooden packaging for high-value equipment has to balance protection, weight and freight cost, and that takes both packaging engineering and manufacturing capacity. BestPack Solutions brings the two together: a technical team that designs the solution and a production plant in San Luis Potosí, with a distribution warehouse in Saltillo and installed capacity of up to 350,000 pallets per month.

We operate with nationwide coverage and ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certifications, plus NOM-144 and ISPM 15 (HT) compliance for everything you export. We serve companies in the automotive, manufacturing, electronics, aerospace, energy and capital goods sectors, on both one-off projects and recurring supply programs. The crate is part of an integrated solution that includes wooden pallets, dunnage and packaging supplies.

Frequently asked questions

Wooden crates and crating

What is a wooden crate and what is it used for?

A wooden crate is rigid packaging, open or closed, that protects bulky, heavy or high-value products during storage and transport. It is used for machinery, industrial equipment, auto parts and spare parts that need more protection than a box.

What is the difference between a wooden crate and a wooden box?

A crate typically has a slatted structure with open gaps, ideal for parts that need bracing and ventilation; a box is enclosed packaging with solid walls that protects against dust, impacts and weather. At BestPack we build both to order.

Can wooden crates be used for export?

Yes. We manufacture crates and boxes with heat treatment (HT) in compliance with NOM-144 and ISPM 15, marked with the IPPC stamp and valid for international export, meeting phytosanitary requirements at customs. Learn more on our export pallets page.

Do you build custom wooden packaging?

Yes. We design every crate, box or ocean-freight crating to the dimensions, weight and fragility of your product, including frames, lids, reels and internal bracing systems for high-value equipment.

What types of products can be packed in wooden crates?

Machinery, industrial equipment, molds and dies, bulky auto parts, electronic equipment, spare parts, aerospace parts and any heavy or high-value product that requires reinforced protection for ground or ocean transport. We also build ventilated crates for fruit, vegetables and agricultural produce. Call 444 829 0377 for a quote.

What sizes are fruit and vegetable crates?

Agricultural crates are built to the size of the product and of the pallet or container. Among the most common sizes are 40x30 cm and 60x40 cm formats, as well as bushel-type crates and larger-volume bins. We adjust length, width, height and slat spacing to the fruit or vegetable and the weight per unit.

Can wooden crates be used to export agricultural products?

Yes. We manufacture crates for perishables export with heat treatment (HT) in compliance with NOM-144 and ISPM 15 and IPPC marking, valid for crossing borders while meeting phytosanitary requirements. Their ventilated design supports the cold chain and reduces condensation during ground and ocean transport of fruit and vegetables.
