Wooden Crates

Certified Wooden Crates for Export use Nefab's ExPak aka. Wooden Crates are used worldwide in several industries. 
 
The plywood material reduces costs vs. a nailed wooden solution as it reduced the overall weight significantly.
 
In addition, because the Nefab ExPak is made with galvanized steel hinges, this allows for a nail-free solution - making a more safe work environment for your labourers.
 

Nefab's Wooden Crates offer the following advantages:

  • Savings. Due to the lightweight material, all air-freight shipment costs can be dramatically reduced. Alternatively any method of shipment which charges by weight will be lower.
  • Quality. The Nefab ExPak is used by some of the largest companies in the world. It's a proven, effective, wooden crating solution.
  • Image. Your customer will be impressed not only by the package received along with their product, but also the ease of opening it vs. industry wooden solutions.
  • Collapsibility. One of the main advantages vs. a nailed solution is how much space you will save in your warehouse and mode of transport. Especially in the event you are building crates inhouse and have loose lumber and parts taking up your floor space.
  • No splitting. Due to the crossed laminations, plywood can be nailed and screwed near the edges without damage from splitting. Solid wood splits fairly readily along the grain.
  • Reduction of waste: Plywood eliminates the waste which occurs in sawing e.g. sawdust. This effectively saves timber. Waste is confined to the small core which remains after peeling, from the veneer which is lost in rounding up the log, and the elimination of defects such as splits and knots.

Did you know?!
 
If you compare crating solutions that have an ID. of 46.75 X 29.25 X 29.25 cm, a nailed crating solution weighs 138 lbs where the Nefab ExPak would weigh only 75 lbs.
 
Furthermore, if you were to use a Nefab lightweight plywood pallet instead of a wooden pallet, you would reduce your weight by a further 9 lbs.
 
Now imagine paying per lb, per package!
 
You just reduced 72 lbs of excess weight & money!
