Custom Industrial Packaging Designed for How You Ship
When standard packaging cannot provide the protection your products require, custom industrial packaging gives you a better way to ship, handle, and store valuable equipment.
FCA Packaging designs and manufactures custom packaging solutions around your product, transportation requirements, and handling process. From heavy-duty crates and skids to custom pallets and protective interiors, our solutions are built to help keep industrial products secure throughout the shipping process.
Custom Packaging for Products of Every Size and Industry
Industrial products come in different shapes, weights, and levels of sensitivity. A standard container may leave equipment exposed to movement, impact, vibration, or improper handling.
FCA Packaging develops packaging around the actual product instead of forcing the product into a standard solution.
Industrial Crating and Packaging Built Around Your Product
Effective packaging starts with understanding what needs to be protected.
Our team considers the product’s dimensions, weight, center of gravity, handling requirements, and transportation environment when developing a packaging solution.
01
Custom Wood Crates
Heavy-duty wood crates provide a strong exterior structure for large, heavy, or high-value products. Internal blocking, bracing, and cushioning can be added to help keep equipment securely positioned.
02
Custom Pallets and Skids
Custom pallets and skids provide a stable foundation for industrial equipment while supporting forklift and material-handling requirements.
03
Protective Interior Packaging
Foam, cushioning, blocking, and bracing can be designed around sensitive or vulnerable areas to help reduce movement and impact during transportation.
04
Export Packaging
For products traveling internationally, packaging can be designed for demanding transportation conditions and applicable export requirements.
Custom Packaging and Shipping Solutions
The packaging solution needs to protect the product throughout the entire shipping process and against the anticipated abuse the package will take in transit domestically or internationally.
FCA Packaging designs solutions around how your product will be:
Packed → Loaded → Handled → Transported → Unloaded → Installed
This approach helps address potential risks before the shipment leaves your facility.
Depending on the application, packaging may include:
The result is packaging designed to support both product protection as well as safe, efficient handling.

Export packaging may incorporate appropriate wood packaging, moisture protection, and other features based on the shipment requirements.
Reusable Packaging for Repeat Shipments
If the same product is shipped repeatedly, disposable packaging may not always be the most practical solution.
