A timber base is essentially the base of a timber case without the requirements of the case sides, ends and lid.
A timber base is usually used for larger, heavier items that require a more substantial structure that a timber pallet cannot provide.
Export Packing
Helping you throughout the journey
While the external case provides strength and structure, the internal protection is just as critical.
Our export packing includes essential protective materials such as foam inserts, foil barrier bags, desiccants, and condition-monitoring devices like TiltWatches and ShockWatches, to keep your goods safe and secure in transit.
