Wooden Crates
Every shipment has its own size, weight, and risk. That is why A&I Pallets builds sturdy wooden crates designed to keep your product secure from origin to destination. From our yard on South Alameda Street in Los Angeles, we build crates for delicate equipment, oversized machinery, fine art, and export freight.
We are minutes from the Alameda Corridor, the rail line that carries freight straight to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. That location lets us build and heat-treat export crates for Southern California shippers, and quote crate projects for customers in the Bay Area and metro Atlanta.
Why Our Wooden Crates Are the Right Choice for Your Business
- Tailored Precision: Each wooden crate we create is meticulously designed to the exact specifications of your items. We take into consideration the size, weight, and fragility of the contents to ensure a snug and secure fit.
- Material Excellence: We use only high-quality materials in the construction of our wooden crates, ensuring that your goods are protected from external factors like moisture, impact, and temperature fluctuations.

Wooden Crates Built in Los Angeles, Close to the Ports
Our Los Angeles yard sits in the middle of one of the busiest freight regions in the country. Manufacturers in Vernon, distributors in the City of Commerce, and exporters across Los Angeles use our crates for goods moving by truck, rail, and ocean.
We also run an in-house heat-treating service for ISPM-15 compliance, so export crates and pallets can be built and treated in one place. That saves time when you are working against a vessel cutoff.
Types of Wooden Crates We Build
Standard Wooden Shipping Crates
Solid lumber or plywood crates with forklift-ready skids for general freight and storage. Sized to your product, not to a catalog.
Heavy-Duty Machinery Crates
Reinforced bases, heavier runners, and full bracing for machines, generators, and production equipment. Built around the load’s weight and center of gravity.
ISPM-15 Export Crates
Heat-treated crates stamped for international shipping. Required by most countries for wood packaging, including freight leaving the Ports of LA and Long Beach.
Art and Fragile-Item Crates
Foam-lined, non-abrasive interiors for artwork, antiques, instruments, and electronics. Each crate is built around the individual piece.
Reusable and Eco-Friendly Crates
Crates built from recovered wood with heavier hardware for repeat trips. Ideal for trade shows, returnable parts programs, and companies cutting packaging waste. For food and drink shippers, see our beverage crates.
