The Secret to Our Success is Inside Our Crates

How do we ensure that the items we ship arrive in exactly the same condition they were in when we got them? It’s all about the tailored packaging and engineering we put into every item we pack. While some shippers simply place items in crates with minimal padding, we give every item the specific packaging and crating solution it calls for.

Our custom-made wooden crates are made with thoughtfulness and intent for their specific item to protect. Craters & Freighters Philadelphia offers a team of crate designing specialists who have the experience and understanding necessary to design the perfect crate. Utilizing the supports, blocking, bracing, and padding needed, we will achieve the delicate balance of inner and outer support for your belongings.
