CRATE DESIGN, FABRICATION & PACKING

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

ELY’s approach to crate design guarantees the highest level of protection for objects, using the most appropriate materials available. We construct our crates and pallets using heat treated wood that is certified ISMP 15 compliant for international shipping. The collective depth of experience at Ely, Inc. enables us to offer a variety of packing and crating options that address the safety of the object while respecting budgetary needs.
