Industrial Packaging
Proper package design and construction is critical to the safe delivery of merchandise. Our design specialists have the knowledge, expertise and experience necessary to develop the wooden crates and skids you need.
Taking into consideration factors including product, transportation method and destination, we tailor all our packaging by size and dimension. We then design the optimum system of cushioning, support and protection against moisture and corrosion, assuring the safe transportation and integrity of your product.
We provide packaging solutions for products of all sizes.
If you are shipping domestically or exporting, contact us and let us show you how we can help.
Custom Crates and Skids
The Kontane Logistics team designs and manufactures all types of heavy-duty crates and skids. Whether your product is small and fragile or large and heavy, we will deliver you the proper crate or skid to ensure safe shipping. Our engineers will ensure the crate is not underbuilt resulting in shipping damages nor overbuilt and too costly.
We continue to invest in the most technologically advanced wood working equipment. This equipment includes computerized panel saws and CNC routers. This helps ensure we can meet the tightest of tolerances for a secure pack job. It also improves labor efficiency in our operations to reduce costs.

- Mil-Spec Vacuum Sealed Vapor Barrier

Moving and Storage Containers
Kontane enjoys broad name recognition in the Moving & Storage industry, offering a full line of top-quality storage and shipping containers since 1975. We manufacture Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) & Export Certified Lift Vans, Sofa Boxes, Motorcycle Crates and Storage Vaults.
Storage containers can be assembled with Klimp fasteners. All containers are ISPM-15 certified with KD/HT stamps for export.
Our patent pending HomePak™ portable self-storage container system is a convenient and cost-effective alternative to traditional storage. We designed HomePak™ to be the most durable and easy-to-use self-storage container on the market, made with top quality products that stand the test of time.
On-Site Packaging
Kontane Logistics’ on-site packaging crew can come to your manufacturing plant to pack and ship your heavy or oversized equipment. We can provide rigging, rust preservation, crating and shipping services. Our design team will ensure you have the proper protections in place to deliver the equipment damage free to the end destination. VCI, mil-spec vapor barrier foil, vacuum sealing, desiccants, cushioning and inserts are all considered in the packaging design.
CKD/SKD Packaging
Kontane has a long history of export packaging solutions for the truck and automotive industry. We support truck and automotive manufactures with Complete Knock Down (CKD) and Semi Knock Down (SKD) solutions. Our team can design, build, pack and ship the crates and skids necessary for these automotive exports.
The safe shipment of automotive parts around the world requires a high level of customization for proper fit. Our crates and skids can include custom CNC routed wood inserts or foam inserts to meet your specifications. All products adhere to tight tolerances to provide a secure pack job.
Our team can also disassemble the vehicle for semi knock down (SKD) operations. We will carefully dismantle the vehicle, pack in our crates and ship to the final assembly location overseas.
Delivery
Our crates can deliver to your facility knocked down (KD) to minimize freight charges or fully built up to streamline your operations. You receive all hardware, screws and fasteners required for assembly along with step-by-step illustrated instructions. We deliver using our own fleet of flatbeds and enclosed trailers or arrange transportation through our broker network.
We also offer vendor managed inventory (VMI) stocking programs. We will work with your team to determine min/max stocking levels to ensure you have available crates and skids on hand when you need them to keep operations running smoothly. We will only invoice you for the crates as you pull them from inventory.
As another option, our customers can ship their product to one of our DC’s for a turnkey packaging solution. Kontane’s team will crate, store and ship your product anywhere in the world.
