Sustainable Crating Solutions

Reducing waste, emissions and your total costs

Green & Recycled Crating Materials

TransPak conducts its business operations in a manner that preserves the environment and protects the health and safety of workers, customers and neighboring communities. TransPak will only utilize wood raw materials that comply with established sustainability programs such as the Forest Stewardship™ (FSC)®, Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) standards.

TransPak follows an aggressive recycling program for its waste stream. All scrap wood is ground and recycled into fireplace logs or press board, while all scrap foam is compressed into bails and converted into carpet padding and/or returned to the foam manufacturers for use in recycled products.

Knockdown Kits

When shipping empty crates between facilities or directly to clients, we offer knockdown kits to maximize the number of crates delivered per shipment as well as space required to store your materials. In addition, our knockdown kits are also expertly packed for easy assembly, and offer a significant reduction in CO2 emissions during transport compared to shipping crates fully or partially assembled.

Reusable Crate Program

With TransPak’s reusable programs, the lifecycle of your crate is completely designed and managed end to end with our Reduce/Reuse/Recycle (RRR) methodology.

Whether you have a closed loop — where the crate is shipped back to you — or the crate is reused in a different way, TransPak can manage all the logistics and reverse logistics of your RRR initiatives.

Whether you need reusable packing materials or reusable crates or transit cases for large, expensive or fragile products, TransPak will work with you to determine the most cost-effective materials and system for your needs.

Optimized Engineering

TransPak’s expert design and engineering team uses their decades of experience, along with the help of proprietary engineering software, to help you achieve reliable protection for your product’s global journey, while using less materials overall.

We start every project with a materials-neutral approach—meaning we select the right materials for your specifications and product, not just whatever is on hand. During our crate & package design phase, we’ll provide a range of material options to find just the right balance of protection and total cost.
