What Materials Are Commonly Used For Custom Crates And Skids?
Custom crates and skids by Capitol Crating primarily use heat-treated lumber to meet international phytosanitary standards, ensuring durability and pest prevention during global transit. Additionally, they incorporate specialized foams and vapor barrier bags for internal cushioning and environmental protection. For shock-mounted applications, materials include resilient padding to absorb impacts. The lumber is selected to provide structural strength required for heavy or sensitive cargo, while shrink wrapping materials like vapor seal bags protect against moisture and contaminants. The choice of materials is driven by the cargo’s sensitivity, weight, and transport mode, prioritizing longevity and compliance with industry standards.
How Does Custom Palletizing Differ From Custom Crating Services?
Custom palletizing differs from custom crating in that it focuses on assembling and securing goods on pallets rather than enclosing them in a full wooden crate. Capitol Crating offers palletizing as a cost-effective packaging option that includes boxing, banding, stretch wrapping, and sometimes skids, making it suitable for lighter or less sensitive cargo. Crating provides full enclosure and typically better protection for fragile or high-value items needing structural integrity and compliance with shipping regulations. Palletizing enables easier handling and stacking, whereas crating offers customized internal protection like foam inserts and shock-mounting for delicate shipments.

What Are The Advantages Of Using Shock-Mounted Bases In Custom Crates?
Shock-mounted bases in custom crates provide enhanced protection by isolating sensitive cargo from vibrations and impacts during shipping. Capitol Crating designs these bases using cushioning materials and suspension systems that absorb shocks, preventing damage to delicate equipment like medical devices or electronics. This technology reduces the risk of mechanical stress, preserves functional integrity, and improves safety during transport, especially for long-distance or rough handling. Incorporating shock-mounted bases increases reliability for clients shipping high-value or fragile goods, contributing to Capitol Crating’s reputation for secure and efficient packaging solutions.
What Compliance Standards Are Followed For Custom Crates And Skids?
Capitol Crating ensures that custom crates and skids comply with standards such as ISPM 15, requiring heat treatment and marking of wooden packaging to prevent pest spread during international shipping. They also offer military specification crates that adhere to rigorous durability and protection benchmarks for defense-related shipments. Compliance includes using certified heat-treated lumber, proper sealing, and markings to meet USDA and international regulatory requirements. These standards ensure crates and skids withstand environmental stresses and transport handling, protecting contents and conforming to customs and phytosanitary controls worldwide.
