Crating Services
in Traverse City, MI

When a standard box is not the right fit, The Packaging Store of Traverse City can build a custom crate designed around your shipment. We provide crating services for customers throughout Traverse City, Petoskey, Charlevoix, Cadillac, Gaylord, and Northern Michigan.

Export Crating & International Shipping Support

The Packaging Store of Traverse City can also help with crates for international shipping. When required, our crates can be built to meet ISPM-15 export standards for wood packaging used in global transportation.

Whether your shipment is moving across Michigan, to another state, or overseas, our team can help match the right crate, packing method, and shipping solution to the item.
