A practical solution for overseas shipping
Shipping goods internationally introduces additional challenges compared to domestic transport. Items may be handled multiple times, transferred between modes of transport, or stored temporarily before reaching their destination.
Wooden shipping crates offer a practical, robust solution for overseas movements by:
- Providing strong, rigid protection for goods in transit
- Supporting safe handling during loading and unloading
- Accommodating a wide range of sizes, weights and item types
For many businesses, a well-designed shipping crate removes uncertainty and reduces the risk of damage during international transport.

Large wooden crates for overseas shipping
Some shipments require large wooden crates to safely accommodate oversized or heavy items.
These crates are often used where:
- Goods exceed standard pallet sizes
- Weight distribution needs careful consideration
- Stability during handling is critical
Large shipping crates are designed to provide structural strength and support throughout the shipping process, helping to protect valuable goods during international transport.

Large shipping crates are designed to provide structural strength and support throughout the shipping process, helping to protect valuable goods during international transport.
Not all international shipments are large or heavy. Small wooden crates are commonly used for compact but high-value or sensitive items that still require robust protection.
Small wooden crates for shipping specialist items
In a shipping context, small wooden crates are typically used for:
- Precision components
- Specialist instruments
- Smaller commercial goods where protection remains essential
These crates are built for durability and reliability, avoiding the lightweight or decorative designs often associated with consumer products.

Shipping considerations and export requirements
Many overseas shipments require packaging that meets specific export standards, such as ISPM15. While this page focuses on wooden crates for shipping in general, compliance is often an important part of the process.
Where export requirements apply, our team can advise and supply appropriate solutions. For more detail, you may find it helpful to view our

When a bespoke shipping crate is required
Some shipping requirements go beyond general crate solutions.
Items with unusual dimensions, complex handling needs or higher risk profiles may require a custom wooden crate designed specifically around the goods being shipped. In these cases, a more tailored approach can offer additional protection and peace of mind.
