Packing and Crating
Packing and crating businesses receive customer items or bulk goods, build custom wood crates or use standard containers, apply protective packing materials, label for transport, and prepare documentation for carriers. For an operation that receives daily inbound shipments of machinery parts, artwork and industrial equipment, the specialists convert customer instructions into a packing spec, generate a daily crate-and-pack schedule, explode orders into a bill of materials for lumber and cushioning, track reusable crates and strapping inventory, and produce carrier-ready shipping documents. The owner or lead packer confirms every crate design, hazardous-material declarations and final load securement.
