Protecting Your Goods Every Step of the Way
At John Pipe International, we understand that the safe shipping of goods is not just important, it’s essential. Our bespoke wooden case-making services provide the ultimate protection for your cargo, ensuring it arrives at its destination in perfect condition. With over 60 years of expertise, we craft custom-made wooden cases designed for any shipment, whether it’s high-value machinery, delicate items, or military exports.
What is Case Making?
The Best Defence for Your Exports
Case making is the process of designing and creating wooden cases that are tailored specifically for your goods. These cases are designed to withstand the challenges of transit, whether by air, sea, or land. We offer 10 different case designs, providing secure packaging for cargo of all sizes, weights, and values.
While foil wrapping protects against moisture, our wooden cases offer an additional layer of protection against rough handling and environmental risks, ensuring your goods stay secure during transit.
Packing Solutions for Every Business
We know every business is different. Over the years, we’ve worked with small startups to global enterprises, designing packaging that meets specific needs:
Military and Aerospace Exports
- MPAS Certification: Meeting UK military and NATO standards.
- Military-Grade Barcodes: For precise tracking and verification.
Custom Case Designs
- Each case is made-to-measure, tailored to the specific product and transport method.
Affordable and Efficient Case Making
We balance top-tier safety with cost-effective solutions:
- Rib-Style Crates: Ideal for lightweight goods and offering water-resistant linings.
