Commerce Packaging specializes in the design and manufacturing of custom crates and containers. We work closely with clients to create protective and durable packaging to streamline logistics and shipping requirements. We can construct and assemble crates according to customer-provided technical drawings.
One of our custom crates created according to technical drawing specifications involved crating an SMT (surface-mount technology) system. (An SMT system is an electronic machine used for assembly in manufacturing.) We used plywood with additional structural bracketing for unit support.
The crate interior included carpeted joists for cushioning, heavy bolted supports for stability, and 2” foam panels to create a floating suspension system. (A floating suspension system ensures if a container holding an object experiences impact, the energy is absorbed before reaching the object. See our article about packaging a painting for another time we employed a floating suspension system, with explanatory images.) This design ensures the equipment remains secure and protected from vibration, impact, and handling stress throughout transport. The crate exterior was ISPM15-certified and received an ISPM15 stamp, as all of our crates are.
