Standard cardboard boxes and bubble wrap are sufficient for everyday items, but high-value, irregularly shaped, or extremely fragile cargo demands an entirely different tier of protection. When transporting fine art, delicate medical electronics, or heavy industrial machinery, structural integrity is paramount.
To address these specialized demands, Packing Service, Inc. (PSI) delivers premium, custom on-site wooden crating services nationwide. By designing and building heavy-duty wooden enclosures directly at a client’s residential or commercial location, PSI provides the physical reinforcement necessary to withstand the rigorous forces of domestic and international transit.
Precision Engineering Built On-Site
The primary advantage of PSI’s crating division is its on-site, made-to-order methodology. Instead of forcing unique cargo into pre-fabricated, poorly fitting containers, PSI’s skilled technicians measure, design, and assemble every wooden crate from scratch on-location.
- Custom Dimensions: Crates are engineered to the exact physical layout of the object. This precise fit prevents internal shifting, which is the leading cause of transit damage.
- Internal Shock Absorption: Beyond the exterior wooden walls, PSI utilizes specialized cushioning, foam blocking, braces, and custom tie-downs to suspend and isolate fragile items from external vibrations.
- ISPM-15 Certified Lumber: For international shipments, PSI strictly uses heat-treated wood that complies with the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM-15). This certification guarantees smooth passage through global customs checkpoints without delays or rejections due to pest-control regulations.
Versatile Solutions for High-Value Assets
PSI’s crating services cater to an array of highly sensitive industries. Museum curators and private collectors rely on their technicians to crate multimillion-dollar paintings, marble sculptures, and historical antiques.
In the corporate sector, the company routinely crafts specialized heavy-duty enclosures for complex medical equipment, IT server racks, and manufacturing machinery. Whether the cargo is a single, priceless chandelier or a multi-ton industrial generator, PSI constructs crates capable of supporting immense weight while offering complete protection against moisture, dust, and physical impact.
The Flat-Rate Guarantee: No Hidden Fees
Navigating the logistics industry can often expose consumers to bait-and-switch pricing tactics or unforeseen surcharges for materials and labor. PSI eliminates this friction entirely by operating on a guaranteed flat-rate pricing system.
The PSI Assurance: By evaluating the exact dimensions, weight, and fragility of your items during the quoting process, PSI provides a comprehensive, fixed price. This single rate includes all high-grade timber, internal packing supplies, specialized tools, and expert labor.
Seamless Integration with Nationwide Shipping
PSI doesn’t just build the crate and leave it at your doorstep; their crating division works hand-in-hand with their loading and Shipping services . Once a custom crate is sealed, the team utilizes heavy-duty forklifts, lift-gates, and pallet jacks to load the secure cargo into moving trucks or international ocean containers.
With an A+ accreditation from the Better Business Bureau held consistently since 2007, Packing Service, Inc. remains a trusted partner for specialty logistics. Their on-site custom crating services remove the uncertainty from high-stakes shipping, providing peace of mind through structurally engineered security.
