Wooden Crating (Crate)
A rigid wooden framework built around cartons to safeguard fragile goods during cross-border transit.
Term Definition
Wooden crating consists of timber framing assembled directly around cartons according to exact measurements. The wooden structure absorbs external pressure and prevents crushing during truck stacking and terminal transfers. Crating is strongly advised for glassware, consumer electronics, ceramics, vehicle lighting, and precision instruments.
Usage Example
«A crate was custom-built around a batch of porcelain mugs prior to long-haul road transportation from China.»
