Industrial Crating Reinvented
HexcelCrate™
75% Recyclable, Custom Designed for your application
Looks are deceiving, HexcelCrates™ are designed for thousands of pounds of stacking strength. HexcelCrate™ is a custom-sized, paper-based crate engineered for industrial and military shipping. We use a wooden base when required. All crates are stamped with Heat Treat Stamp US-20425 HT. Cad Cut Machinery for precision interior supports.
What Is HexcelCrate™?
The Smarter Alternative to Wood Crating
Traditional wood crates are heavy, expensive to ship, and end up in landfills. HexcelCrate™ replaces them with a precision-engineered paper honeycomb structure that absorbs shock better, ships lighter, and recycles completely. Every crate is custom-sized to your product — no wasted space, no wasted material.
HexcelCrate provides a robotic wrapping for VCI HexcelWrap that will protect your machinery for overseas shipments, utilizing Armor VCI paper converted to HexcelWrap for both cushioning and corrosion prevention.
