PROTECTING YOUR ASSETS FROM DAMAGE
Fully Customized Crates in Las Vegas
Craters & Freighters Las Vegas provides custom crating and packaging solutions for a wide range of items, including high-value, heavy, fragile, and unique pieces. Many companies in our industry have weight and size limitations. We do not.
We can build crates to meet any item’s needs. We take many factors into account when designing our crates and packaging. This includes dimensions, weight, value, fragility, and final destination. Our team of crating experts then goes to work building a crate optimized for the item.
Take a Look Inside
Custom packaging, blocking, and bracing are essential to proper crating. These crucial elements ensure your items arrive safe and sound. We can provide that assurance because we do not just place items in a crate or box and add some padding. Every item we handle gets a tailored packaging and crating solution.

What are the requirements for ISPM 15 crates?
According to the US Department of Agriculture:
International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 require all solid wood packing material to be heat treated and stamped with an official mark. ISPM 15 requirements apply to all hardwood and softwood (coniferous and non-coniferous) packaging materials. The standard does not apply to wood packaging made wholly of manufactured wood products such as plywood, particle board, oriented strand board, or products created using glue, heat and pressure or a combination of these. The second alternative, Fumigation with Methyl Bromide (MB), while still acceptable is being phased out because of environmental reasons. The fumigator must be registered in the program in order to issue the ALSC Quality Mark. Important note to exporters: ISPM 15 requirements apply to all coniferous (softwood) and non-coniferous (hardwood) packing materials including dunnage. U.S. Inspection Agencies control the issuance of the ALSC Quality Mark, and the presence of the Quality Mark ensures WPM produced in the U.S. and destined for export meets the importing countries regulations. Trading partners are adopting the ISPM15 in their import regulations. As the National Plant Protection Organization of the United States, the United States Department of Agriculture, in coordination with the wood packaging material industry, has developed an export program to guarantee compliance with the import requirements of trading countries. The program insures certified treatment and marking of wood packaging material for international trade, while maintaining traceability of the packaging material. The integrity of the program is dependent upon industries compliance.
