Crating & packing Services

Compliance, Visibility, and Accountability

International freight requires flawless documentation and regulatory coordination. Starwood manages shipping details so you can stay focused on your business.

Our freight management includes:

  • Export documentation and customs coordination
  • Dangerous goods reviews and certification
  • Carrier-compliant paperwork
  • Cargo visibility and shipment tracking
  • Proactive communication throughout transit

Every shipment is managed by experienced professionals who understand the stakes.

Integrated with Warehouse, Port & Intermodal Operations

Crating and packing don’t operate in a vacuum.

Starwood Global’s services are fully integrated with our warehouse, intermodal, drayage, and transload operations — minimizing handoffs and reducing risk. This coordination allows freight to move efficiently from preparation to transport, without unnecessary delays or exposure.

Our proximity to major ports and transportation gateways enables faster turns, better visibility, and tighter control from preparation through final delivery.

Professional Packing for Export & Domestic Freight

Proper packing is the first safeguard against delays, claims, and costly rework.

Our warehouse teams prepare freight for long-haul transport using protective materials and proven handling techniques to secure cargo at every stage of the supply chain. Whether freight is moving directly from the port, being transloaded, or staged for onward movement, our packing process prioritizes stability and traceability.

Packing services include:

  • Export-ready and domestic packing
  • Palletizing and load securement
  • Shock, vibration, and moisture protection
  • High-value and fragile cargo handling

Custom Crating Built for the Journey

Not all freight can be palletized — and not all crates are created equal.

Starwood Global provides custom-built crating solutions for industrial, oversized, heavy, and high-value cargo. Each crate is constructed based on weight, dimensions, fragility, and mode of transport to prevent damage during handling, storage, and transit.

Our teams build crates on-site to meet the demands of ocean, air, rail, and over-the-road shipping — ensuring cargo is protected from vibration, impact, moisture, and shifting.

Crating capabilities include:

  • Custom wood crating for domestic and international shipments
  • Heavy-duty and oversized cargo crating
  • Export-compliant and seaworthy crating
  • Equipment, machinery, and industrial freight protection

Damage doesn’t usually happen because freight was mishandled in transit — it happens because it wasn’t prepared correctly before it ever left the floor.

At Starwood Global Logistics, our crating and packing services are designed to protect cargo against real-world shipping conditions. From domestic moves to international export, we prepare freight with precision, accountability, and an understanding of how it will actually travel.
