CUSTOM CRATES & CASES FOR ADVANCED MANUFACTURERS

CUSTOM CRATES

At Volunteer Case & Container, we have been at the forefront of manufacturing advanced manufacturing cases, custom protective packaging, wood crates, ATA flight cases, foam, and injection molded cases to meet our diverse customer needs for nearly four decades. Our products adhere to both ASTM and ISPM-15 quality standards and our team provides a wide selection of protective packaging with foam interiors to protect your more expensive and delicate components.

Manufacturers require a packaging provider that can meet their production schedule while maintaining consistent quality. When upgrading equipment or revising production lines, they may need to crate multiple machines for line relocation or for transport to another facility. Custom cases are frequently used in the industry to securely store and organize devices, gauges, and tools. Our experience designing packaging solutions for various products ranging from small injection-molded cases to 70,000-pound machines makes us well equipped to meet our customers’ needs with accuracy and consistency.

We also offer on-site crating services at your facility for machinery, advisable for equipment that exceeds 8’ x 8’ footprint. We can securely seal the machinery using military-grade barrier bags and desiccant to protect it from exposure to moisture or water damage while in transit.

CUSTOM PRODUCTS FOR THE ADVANCED MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY

One key misconception about crates and cases is that they are built solely to transport a valuable item to its destination before being discarded. However, our products can be shipped, stored, and re-shipped multiple times. We offer a comprehensive line of strong, reliable crates and cases for all types of manufacturing needs, including:

Wood Crates

Wood Crates

All of our crates are stamped and certified for international export. Whether you need a single small crate delivered to you or dozens of oversized crates built onsite at your facility, we can handle the job. For large or heavy machinery, we recommend our ISPM-15 certified wood crates. Our crates are fully customizable and can include foam, shelves, shock absorbers, ramps, latches, and more. We have experience building both commercial and military crates for equipment weighing 70,000+ lbs. Learn more here.

ATA / Road Cases

ATA / Road Cases

ATA / Road cases are best for highly sensitive objects that are light enough for one or two people to lift and move around. Our ATA cases can be either wood or plastic siding and all have durable metal edging. All ATA cases come with custom foam interiors and can have any number of wheels, handles, partitions, straps, latches, and more. Our cases are split or pop riveted together to ensure maximum strength and durability. Learn more here.

PE & Wood Containers

PE & Wood Containers

For customers focused on weight or cost, our PE or wood containers may be the best solution. Our PE containers are made with a strong, but lightweight, plastic siding and no metal edges. Our wood containers are made with wood sides and metal edges, but are heavier than the PE version. Both options are lighter and often less expensive than our ATA cases. Learn more here.

Trunk Cases

Trunk Cases

Trunk cases are perfect for equipment regularly transported by box truck. Our trunk cases come in three sizes: Small - 22.5” x 30” x 30”, Medium - 22.5” x 45” x 30”, & Large 30” x 45” x 30”. These exterior dimensions allow them all to fit neatly in a box truck for maximum capacity. All trunk cases include handles, latches, four swivel castors, and castor cups on top to allow for secure stacking. As needed, labels, dividers, and foam can be added as well. Learn more here.

Injection Molded Cases

Injection Molded Cases

We are a certified distributor for Pelican cases, SKB cases, and Nanuk cases, meaning we offer their cases for less than anyone else. Whether you require a hard case, carrying case, rolling case, or long case, all of our injection molded cases are watertight, comply with military specs, and are built to withstand the harshest environments. Customizable foam inserts and cutouts are available to provide further protection. Whether you need a case to hold one object or many, we can design a case for you. Learn more here.

Waterjet & CNC Cut Foam

Waterjet & CNC Cut Foam

We offer a wide range of custom foam inserts and custom foam cutouts of varying types, densities, and colors to best fit your needs. Customizable foam insert types include PE, PU, Crosslink, Zote, and more. All are available in colors other than the standard black / charcoal and can be further specialized based on use, such as being anti-static. All custom foam inserts and cutouts can be waterjet or CNC cut to perfectly fit your product. Learn more here.

A Great Partner You Can Always Count On

I’m a Buyer / Planner for a high tech manufacturer in Oak Ridge, TN. I’ve been acquainted with Volunteer Case since they have been in business, through their association with doing business with my company. The last six years I’ve been a Buyer and worked very closely with Volunteer Case. Their shipping containers are exceptional, they always go above and beyond expectations to make a quality product.

Volunteer Case has done many crates for us over the years. We have always been pleased with their work. I have used them for years and plan on using them many years in the future.
They are always good to deal with.

- Bryan L.

Highly Recommended for Sensitive Equipment Needs.

My company has a frequent need for IPPC stamped crates that are able to ship very delicate and expensive equipment overseas. In the past, we tried other crating companies with not much success, until we found Volunteer Case and Container LLC. They listened to our needs and design crates for each individual shipment. Since starting to use their crates we have had no damaged equipment. I would highly recommend them for anyone’s crating needs.

- Dana H.

Since 2011, as a defense contractor, we have purchased custom mil-spec cases and shipping containers from Volunteer Case & Container. We are thankful to have such a dependable supplier that is easy to work with, cares about quality, and always willing to ensure that we are fully satisfied with the products we purchase. I would happily recommend Vol Case to anyone with case and container needs, especially if you have custom work that must meet specific specifications.
