Our Custom Advantage is Our
Customer Connection

Whether you need added protection, have a uniquely shaped product, or are looking for better efficiencies, our team is here to help. When it comes to custom solutions, we take a consultative approach to designing best-value options. Our focus on solutions has helped us grow our woodshop production from humble beginnings to an operation that uses almost 2.4 Million Board Feet of lumber each year. End to end, it adds up to 454 miles of 12”x12”x1” thick lumber. That's almost enough to stretch from San Diego to San Francisco!

Custom Pallet & Crate Solutions

It all starts with a visit to your facility, a tape measure, and series of thoughtful questions. Even if we’re starting with an existing spec, we consider things you might not even think about.

Does it require blocking and bracing?
What happens if the crate gets dropped?
What kind of cushioning do we need?
Will you reuse the package?
Could the crate be used for something else? (One of our crates is being repurposed as an ice fishing shack in Minnesota.)

We take all of this information back to the woodshop and engineer the best options to meet your unique objectives.

OUR INNOVATION

An Incredibly Efficient Crate

When a local medical equipment manufacturer came to us to design and fabricate an improved crate for its CT Scan imaging components, our challenges were to upgrade quality, lower costs, and maintain a readily available inventory to meet their growing needs. Working collaboratively with the customer, we developed a unique five-drawer crate to house multiple units in a single shipment.

This breakthrough design dramatically cut damage down to a negligible amount by protecting the equipment with fitted foam cradles inside the crate drawers and a strapping technique for extra support and protection. While the new design helped reduce damage claims and lowered overall shipping and crating labor costs, the biggest benefit came as a surprise. The quality and solid construction allowed the company to reuse the crates multiple times for significant cost savings. Today, we also build and maintain up to a 60-day supply of crates for the company through our Just-in-time Inventory service.
