Crates, cases, pallets and contract packing for manufacturers across the UK, made in Bideford, Devon since 2000.
Last reviewed 31 October 2026
Most of our industrial packaging is made for manufacturers who ship the same products week after week. We design a crate, case or pallet for each product, give it a code, and build it in runs so it is there when the goods are ready. The pages below show what that looks like in the sectors where we do the most work.
Crates per product model for pumps, motors, valves, linear systems and machines.
Shock pallets, rack crates and packaging assemblies in volume.
Propeller crates, long slatted crates, dunnage and heavy pallets.
Despatch pallets per model, panels, crates and large unit pallets.
Kitting, sub-assembly and packing to your work instruction.
ISPM 15 crates, cases and pallets for goods leaving the UK.

| How repeat work runs | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| One product code per size | Each crate, case or pallet has its own code, so reordering is a part number and a quantity |
| Your drawing and revision on the job | We build to the revision you give us and change it when you issue a new one |
| Set minimum runs and call-off | We build in economic batches and hold them for you to call off |
| Heat treated and stamped | Solid timber stamped FC0542 to ISPM 15, so the same pack works for UK and export |
