Advanced Manufacturing
Custom cases, crates and foam for manufacturers.
We provide custom industrial packaging for manufacturers shipping products, moving machinery or organizing tools for service work. Our cases, foam inserts, wood crates and ATA cases are designed around the equipment, from controllers and precision gauges to large production machines.
Free design & quoting. No obligation.
- In-house design
- Rapid prototyping
- USA-made packaging
Packaging options
Choose packaging for products, tools and machinery.
The equipment's size, weight and handling needs help determine the packaging. We supply cases and foam nationwide, and wood crates throughout the eastern United States.
Injection molded cases
For gauges, sensors, controllers and field service kits, we help choose a case and design the interior. Brands include Pelican, SKB, NANUK and Condition 1. Order the case alone or with custom foam.

Custom foam inserts
Fitted pockets give components, tools and accessories their own places. We design and cut inserts for new cases, crates and boxes, or packaging you already own. Foam-only orders are available.

Wood crates
For machinery, tooling and larger assemblies, we design the base, supports and enclosure around the load. Removable walls, ramps and other openings can make loading and unpacking easier.

ATA cases
For equipment moving repeatedly between factories, customer sites and test facilities, we build cases in custom sizes. Shelves, trays, removable covers and wheels can help teams reach and move the contents.
Explore ATA casesMachinery and plant equipment
Plan machinery support and loading before the move.
A machine's weight, center of gravity and suitable support points guide the crate design. Tell us how it will be lifted, loaded and removed at its destination. Our experience includes crating equipment weighing over 70,000 lbs.
Support the load and leave room for handling
Blocking, bracing and restraints can hold the machinery while keeping pressure off thin panels and protruding parts. Removable walls, ramps and forklift access can be included where useful.
Account for moisture during shipping and storage
Waterproof barrier bagging and desiccant, which absorbs moisture, can be included for sensitive shipments. We choose the approach for the journey and storage period. A wood crate alone is not a sealed moisture barrier.
Arrange crating at your facility
On-site crating can help when equipment or the assembled crate is difficult to move. We review the location, working space, access and packing work before arranging a visit.
Precision tools and components
Keep precision tools and parts supported and organized.
Gauges, probes, sensors and finished components need suitable support as well as convenient access. We plan the foam around the equipment and how it will be packed and used.
Leave delicate areas clear
We shape support around suitable contact surfaces and leave clearance for measurement faces, connector pins, controls and finished surfaces. Tell us which areas can take contact and which must remain clear.
Give each item a place
Separate pockets, finger openings and labels can help teams find tools and return them after use. Cables, spare parts and accessories can be grouped with the equipment they support.
Choose the material for the equipment
We offer polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PU) and cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) in different densities and colors. All foam is cut using a CNC router or waterjet. The method is selected based on the foam type and pocket features. Anti-static foam options are available to meet any electrostatic discharge requirements.
Project examples
Packaging for a production line and a new controller.
Automotive manufacturing equipment
Crating a production line for overseas shipment.
An auto manufacturer was clearing a production line for new electric-vehicle work. We packed the equipment into 58 crates over eight weeks. The work included export-treated lumber, barrier bagging with desiccant, and numbered equipment and crates to identify the contents.

Controller and electronics manufacturer
From a CAD model to a controller case.
For a supplier to drone manufacturers, we designed an SKB 3i-0907-6 case with PE foam for a controller, cables and accessories. We 3D-printed a model part from the customer's CAD file, checked the prototype fit and built ten cases from the approved layout.

Review the design before we build.
Design assistance and quotes are free, with no requirement to purchase. Our in-house team prepares the packaging layout and works through changes with you.
Provide the equipment details
Send dimensions, drawings, 3D models or photos, plus the equipment list, weight, quantity and required date. Tell us how it will be shipped and used, and whether the equipment is still changing.
Review the layout and quote
We recommend the case, foam or crate design and provide views for your review. Check support, access, materials and what is included in the quote. We help determine whether a physical prototype is needed.
Approve the design for production
After any required prototype review and your approval, we build the packaging and arrange delivery. We retain approved designs and production files for repeat orders.
Frequently asked questions
Manufacturing packaging questions
Practical details for design, repeat orders and delivery.
Yes. We can quote a foam-only or complete prototype for fit, access and packing checks. Physical prototypes are charged separately from the free design and quote. We confirm what will be made and its cost before building it.
