Wooden case:

Wooden cases are generally used for packing any kind of product to ensure maximum safety from transportation and handling damages. These are more commonly used to pack small and multiple items together in a single case and thereby reduce the risk of pilferage. Wooden cases do not have any limitations in use with respect to the size, weight and shape of the item to be packed. The cases can be made of wood starting from a minimum thickness of ½" up to maximum of 2-3 inches depending on the overall product. Wooden cases can be built to suit various lifting methods like a forklift, crane etc. and accordingly the base and overall construction of the wooden case is designed.

Plywood box:

Plywood boxes are used for packing products similar to those of wooden cases. However, these types of boxes are more suited for export consignments, transported both by sea and air. For sea consignments, these boxes offer a high degree of protection from moisture and corrosion and for air consignments; these boxes are highly suitable due to its low weight and savings in terms of freight charges. Plywood boxes are made up of commercial plywood of thickness varying from 3mm to 19mm depending on the items to be packed. In plywood boxes bottom (Base) also can be provided with wooden planks for forklifting or crane lifting.

Wooden crates:

Wooden crates mainly find application for optimizing packaging costs of solid, sturdy and heavy items usually transported in exclusive and bulk consignments. Wooden crates are made up of reapers placed at required gaps to suit the weight and dimensions of the product. The thickness and width of the reapers is also calculated based on the product. The crates can also be designed to make it suitable for fork lifting, with the base (bottom) either solid or crate type. These crates can also be chemically treated and used for export packing.

Wooden base:

Where complete packing of the items/ equipment is not necessary, packing is done using only a wooden base. This is mainly used to pack machines and equipment that can be bolted down to the base and covered with polythene material for short distance transportation, thereby saving on the overall packaging cost.

Wooden pallets:

Is generally used for storage, stacking and in-premise movement of materials. It is basically only a base made in the form of either solid or a crate type to facilitate forklifting. Pallets often find use for short distance transportation of materials and can be re-used over and over again for similar purposes.

Overseas packing:

Krishna Packers specializes in supply of superior materials mainly for export packaging. Use of proper materials is very important in exports due to the increasing awareness in foreign countries and stipulations laid down by them for use of good quality packing wood. Exporters cannot afford to neglect this aspect as poor (like termite infecting) variety of packaging materials used can lead to serious implications on the export business.

In Hosur, Krishna Packers is the one and only reliable source for truly chemically treated wood as per standards laid down by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards). Treated wood is a must for export packaging to prevent attack of termites etc. and is insisted upon by many foreign countries. Due to trade limitations, we are unable to provide more details on the exact method of treatment carried out by us. However, another alternative to chemically treated wood is the use of silver wood, which is much better suited for use in export packaging.

However, if use of wood is not preferred, HHCB Box (replacement for wood) or plywood can also be used in combination with a wooden base. For better protection against moisture and corrosion, it is also advisable to provide an internal lining of special tar coated gunny cloth.
