Why Choose Timber Packaging
Unlike cardboard, wooden packaging has more strength. When packaging, storing or transporting, items are usually subjected to a lot of strain and stress. If you are transporting goods over a long distance, wooden packing crates are a much better option. These are stronger and more durable than cardboard boxes, moving blankets, bubble wrap and other packing materials that are used for the shipment of items. These boxes can cope with heavy loads and easily protect your precious goods from any kind of damage.
Wooden packaging is essential when packing heavy goods, as the weight distribution is more even and it is stronger than cardboard. There is no risk of it losing it’s shape or getting damaged when heavy products over a specific weight limit are packed into wooden box crates. These are very strong and you can use them to pack and ship heavy, as well as delicate goods. You can also use these for international shipments because most countries accept these wooden boxes through their customs.
Higher Moisture Resistance
Wooden packaging is much more moisture-resistant as compared to other types of materials. Even if they are exposed to moisture or water during storage or shipment, these crates do not damage easily.
