Wooden Export Crates

Wooden Export Crates for Pune Manufacturers and Exporters

Wooden export crates are rigid, load-bearing enclosures built from sawn timber to protect heavy, irregular, or high-value goods during export shipping. Unlike corrugated cartons, wooden crates can support goods that cannot be safely placed in a box — large machined components, electric motors, industrial pumps, gearboxes, and capital equipment that requires full enclosure and structural support during sea freight.

Upackarts supplies wooden export crates in custom dimensions built to your cargo specifications. Every crate is manufactured from ISPM-15 certified heat-treated timber, mandatory for wood packaging entering the EU, USA, Australia, Canada, and most export destinations globally.

ISPM-15 Certification — Why It Matters

ISPM-15 is an international phytosanitary standard that requires all solid wood packaging entering member countries to be treated to eliminate wood-boring insects and their larvae. Heat treatment (HT) at 56°C for 30 minutes through the wood core is the standard method. Non-compliant wood packaging is quarantined at the destination port, returned to origin, or destroyed — at the exporter's cost. Upackarts provides the official ISPM-15 heat treatment certificate with every export crate order.

Construction and Load Capacity

Export crates are built with a base frame, side panels, and lid using timber sections sized to the load weight. Standard construction uses 75x50mm or 100x50mm section for the base frame and 25mm planks for the cladding panels. For very heavy machinery, the base frame section is increased and cross-bracing is added. Crate design is matched to the cargo weight and forklift or crane handling requirement.
