Alliance Packing and Shipping Inc.'s set the international standard for what collapsible, reusable shipping crates should be. We have even had them certified by the US Military to hold 4,000 lbs of live ammunition and stack 3 high when fully assembled. We construct every Quick-Crate to the highest standard so that our customers will have a crate that will not only offer superior product protection, but will also last. We have many customers who have used our crates for 50+ return cycles. When return cycling or warehousing, Quick-Crates can collapse to just 9” high, a ratio of about 5:1. That’s 1/5 of the truckload or warehouse space! They also ship at freight class 50 when collapsed, which allows for even lower freight costs.

Alliance Packing and Shipping Inc. can be set up by 1 person in less than 3 minutes. The panels are held together with steel clips that snap into machined slots. There are no special tools, screws, nails or metal banding required. See our Assembly Video & Assembly Sheet.

Reusable Alliance Packing and Shipping Inc. are constructed with ¾” exterior grade plywood. We machine the panels to size on our 3 in-house computerized (CNC) routers. Not only are they highly efficient, allowing us to produce hundreds of crates a week, but they can cut to tolerances of .005”. The block-pallet system beneath the crate allows for 4-way entry. To add an extra level of durability, we bolt, instead of nail, the pallet blocks to the base panel. This helps our crates tolerate more forklift abuse than a traditional crate.

An attractive feature of the Alliance Packing and Shipping Inc. system for many customers is the fact that they can be used for international export. Because of the heat treating process used during the manufacturing of plywood our Alliance Packing and Shipping Inc. are 100% ISPM-15 export compliant. No heat treating stamps needed.

Are there any limits to the types of items you can handle?

Generally, no, there aren't. With the exception of hazardous materials, we can handle almost anything you could imagine. From antiques to a CatScan machine or race car, our experienced staff has seen it all. So give us a call—there is a good chance we can design the safest, most cost-effective way to get your product to its end destination. We look forward to the challenge.

Again, no we don't. The best way to tell what the charge will actually be is to contact us for a free, instant quote.

Can I order a box without crating or shipping?

Of course. A large percentage of our sales are to companies that buy empty shipping containers they pack themselves. So if you need a single box for your shipping department or for personal use, we can make it. Or if you need our help packaging a complex item, we'll be glad to help—just give us a call.

What if my company already has an account with UPS or another carrier?

We can use your account number for shipment.

What shipping options do you offer?

We have relationships will all the major LTD freight carriers as well as air, ocean, and rapid delivery carriers. Our extensive ties allow us to offer the exact shipping arrangements needed to get your item to its destination on time.

What does a "one-stop" crating and shipping firm mean?

Alliance Packing and Shipping Inc. prides itself on being able to handle every aspect of getting your item from point A to B. We take the responsibility off you so you can focus on doing your job. Calling us is all you ever have to do; we take care of the rest.

When do I need a wooden box versus a crate?

The answer depends on your product and your shipping requirements. If your product is fragile, contains many pieces, or is of high value, then you will probably need a closed-sided box. But if you have a piece of machinery with a solid frame, then an open-sided crate should do the job.
