Our Custom Made Wooden Crates & Cases are ISPM 15 Certified. This Makes Them Perfect for Exporting Goods & Personal Possessions
At Inverness Pallets, we supply quality ISPM 15-certified wooden crates and cases ready for collection or immediate dispatch. Whether you’re in Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Edinburgh, or as far afield as Lerwick or Stornoway, we can quickly manufacture custom timber crates and shipping cases to suit your exact needs – and get them to you fast, anywhere in Scotland.
Our workshops operate 24/7, almost all year round, so when you’ve got a ferry to catch from Ullapool, an urgent air freight leaving Prestwick, or a last-minute load for Grangemouth docks, we can get your crate built and on its way, often on the same day to help with urgent deadlines. Tight deadlines are our speciality – making us the perfect partner when you need a super-fast turnaround for a made-to-order timber crate or case.
Bespoke Wooden Crates & Cases – Made for Scotland’s Businesses
Inverness Pallets is the wooden packaging division of Defenda Transport & Logistics Ltd, and we’re trusted by companies of all sizes – from small local workshops to global brands exporting through Scottish ports like Aberdeen Harbour or Greenock’s Ocean Terminal.
We supply heat-treated, ISPM 15-compliant wooden crates, cases, and pallets from stock or made-to-order. Whether you need a heavy-duty reinforced pallet for whisky casks heading to the USA, a protective case for precision engineering equipment from Dundee, or a museum-grade crate for art being sent from the National Galleries of Scotland – we’ve got you covered.
Fast Production – Meeting Tight Scottish Shipping Deadlines
We know that in Scotland, shipping delays can mean missing the only weekly ferry, or losing a space in a container bound for Europe. That’s why we pride ourselves on rapid production. In emergencies, we can potentially build and dispatch bespoke crates or cases on the same day you order – helping you avoid costly missed shipments.
Our crates are built from sustainably sourced Scottish and UK timber, ISPM 15-certified and IPPC-stamped, ensuring your goods breeze through customs in the EU, USA, Australia, and beyond.
We work with industries across Scotland, including:
- Whisky distilleries exporting globally from Speyside, Islay, and Campbeltown.
- Oil & gas suppliers sending heavy equipment offshore from Aberdeen.
- Fishing companies shipping premium seafood from Peterhead and Lerwick.
- Art galleries sending works from Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Inverness to exhibitions worldwide.
Pallet Bottoms – Or Not, It’s Your Choice
We usually produce crates with pallet bases for easy handling, but as everything is custom-made, we can omit the pallet bottom if you prefer.
We deliver nationwide – whether you’re in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, Falkirk, Dumfries, Inverness, the Borders, or the Outer Hebrides. Same-day service is available across Scotland, and we can also send low-cost scheduled deliveries to the rest of the UK.
Collapsible & Reusable Export Cases
When storage space is tight – maybe in a small workshop in Oban or a city unit in Leith – our collapsible OSB or plywood export cases are ideal. They’re flat-packed, easy to assemble, and perfect for items that need to make the return journey, such as goods for trade shows in Europe or exhibitions overseas.
The clip-lock design means they can be dismantled, stored, and reassembled when needed – making them popular with Scottish companies that send equipment to offshore rigs, whisky to overseas tastings, or art to touring exhibitions.
