CUSTOM CRATING
Whether shipping individual items, or large, complicated equipment kits, it is critical for your product to arrive on time and undamaged. Our custom crating solutions are tailored to meet the needs of any product from delicate and fragile to large and bulky and everything in between. Our custom crates – and ancillary products – are designed to protect your shipments and reduce transportation costs.
Group O packaging experts evaluate many factors in choosing the right custom crating solution, including weight, dimensions, value, fragility, and final destination. Once determined, we create the crate best suited for your needs.
Some of the solutions we offer include:
Nailless Closure Systems
Built for extended use, nailless closure systems are easy to assemble and do not require special tools while offering reduced weight and transportation costs. No banding, nailing, stapling or adhesive required, even for repeated uses.
Heat Shrinking
A cost-effective packaging solution that protects products from the elements and keeps out moisture. This can be applied to an entire shipment or individual elements within a larger shipment. It is an ideal solution for products that may have to sit outside for an extended amount of time.
Vapor Barrier Bags
This solution offers corrosion protection that keeps even sensitive products like electronics dry during shipping. A vapor barrier bag fully encloses a product inside airtight, vacuum-sealed bags, protecting it from the elements. Group O also offers Vapor Corrosive Inhibitor products that protect from rust and corrosion to ensure the integrity of any metal surface.
Specialty Compression Foam
Bumps and bruises are just part of the program when it comes to shipping. But specialty compression foam can protect your product from jarring, drops, and other dangers.
Skin Packaging
Appealing and cost-effective, skin packaging is produced by placing your product on custom-printed and coated paperboard, surrounding it with heated plastic film, and using a vacuum to tightly draw the film to the product and board.
Vacuum Packaging
Our standard and custom vacuum packaging solutions extract oxygen to reduce oxidation and protect food products so they stay flavorful and fresher longer.
