Should you choose not to use eco-friendly packaging material for your products, all of those involved in the supply chain and including your customers may opt to look elsewhere as you are not doing your best for the environment. Wooden shipping containers are perhaps your best answer to supply eco-friendly materials and achieve the task you set out to master; safe and secure transportation.
Wooden Containers Are Popular
Wooden shipping containers are popular throughout the world, but equally, many products are transported in a variety of materials, and many are not eco-friendly.
You can arrange for custom wooden crates to be designed and manufactured for you by professional lumberyards. This will ensure that your products fit perfectly within the wooden containers and are less susceptible to damage during transportation.
While being a great eco-friendly option, wooden shipping containers are also completely affordable, especially when you compare the range of alternative materials of a similar size.
When wood is sourced originally from a sustained forest, it can be used without any worries about affecting the ecosystem. Also, wood is extremely easy to customize to your specific needs. It is simple to repair and can be reused time and time again. Only when it is impractical to repair a wooden crate or container, can it be sent for recycling where it will be used again as another product for home or commercial use.
Maintenance is straightforward, and often a part of the shipping container can be replaced if it is damaged without affecting the rest of the box. This reduces the cost of maintenance, repairs and ensures that the wood continues to stay in use.
Wood has consistently existed as a strong material to transport goods safely. When produced effectively, wooden shipping crates are extremely robust compared to the light weight of the wood, which reduces the cost of shipping.
