Engineered Custom Crates Across BC & Alberta

Email Us

Custom Crates - Surrey, Calgary, Vancouver & Kelowna.

When your shipment is too valuable, fragile, or complex for standard packaging, you need a custom crate. We design and build precision wooden crates that provide maximum security for high-risk shipments across Alberta and British Columbia, serving Surrey, Calgary, Vancouver & Kelowna.


Since 1996, we've protected everything from industrial machinery to sensitive electronics. A custom crate is a protective system engineered to combat transit hazards—ensuring your assets arrive safely.

Do You Need a Custom Crate?

A custom crate is cost-effective insurance if your item is:

  • High-value or critical (machinery, medical equipment, prototypes)
  • Fragile or sensitive (electronics, glass, lab instruments)
  • An irregular shape that won't fit standard containers
  • Traveling a demanding journey (international export, remote sites)
  • Requiring special handling like built-in lift points or reusability
