AI image by LocalRankShipping machinery, equipment or fragile stock overseas usually means more than a cardboard box. A custom wooden crate, a skid or a vacuum-sealed pack has to suit the weight and shape of the item, the route and the destination's rules. This guide looks at seven Singapore firms whose own websites describe wooden crating or export packing, from heavy machinery specialists in Tuas to a plywood case maker in Yishun. Each description is attributed to the company and shows only what it publishes. Use the list to shortlist, then send each firm your dimensions, weight and destination and ask for a written quote and a clear scope of work.
1. Sin Chew Woodpaq
Sin Chew Woodpaq is a Tuas-based firm whose website presents customised wooden crating as a core service, alongside industrial machine packing, machinery moving, jacking and skidding, project logistics, transport, warehousing and material treatment. The site says its crates are designed around the dimensions and fragility of each item, and that its wooden cases are subjected to structural and vibration analysis. It also describes specialised tools for moving machinery in a cleanroom environment and names semiconductor, aerospace, marine and offshore, and oil, gas and petrochemical among the industries it serves. The company says it has more than five decades of experience. Its contact page offers a phone line, an enquiry email and an online form for sending a brief.
2. Yeo Brother Packaging
Yeo Brother Packaging lists heavy and light duty plywood cases, wooden crates, reusable show crates and machinery skids among its products, and its site also describes plywood cases, crates and pallets with heat treatment, fumigation and ISPM 15 wording. On the services side it lists vacuum packing and crating, VCI packing and crating, anti-static LDPE packing, machinery moving and container stuffing. The workshop is in the Yishun industrial area, and the contact page shows a main phone line plus mobile numbers for named sales contacts, one of them a Malaysian number. Its footer carries a 2026 copyright line. Treat the treatment wording as the company's own description and ask what paperwork it will supply.
3. Express Crating
Express Crating describes itself as a manufacturer of wooden pallets, crates and cases. Its website lists customised wooden crating, strategic packing solutions, heat treatment services, transportation services and the supply of wood packaging material, and the footer carries a 2026 copyright line. The company is based in the Tuas South area, and its contact page shows a WhatsApp number, a phone line and an enquiry email, so a first message with your item's dimensions, weight and photos is an easy way to start. The site does not say which standard its heat treatment follows, so ask directly what it provides, and which marking or paperwork would accompany the crate if your destination country requires it.

4. RichBox Manufacturing
RichBox Manufacturing lists a broad set of crate-related services on its homepage: customising cases, crates and pallets, crating and uncrating, packaging of equipment, rigging and machinery moving, local transport with container stuffing and unstuffing, and temporary storage. Its products include wooden crates, plywood cases and wooden and plastic pallets. The company says it was established in 2006, and in its own words it holds ISO 9001:2015 and Bizsafe Level 3 and offers heat treatment and fumigation under the ISPM 15 regulation. Those are the firm's own statements, not LocalRank's. It is based in the Tuas industrial belt, and its site shows articles dated 2026 plus a contact page listing phone numbers and an enquiry email for quotes.
5. TransPak Singapore
TransPak is a packaging and logistics group headquartered in the United States, and its Singapore page describes a Kranji facility that specialises in crating, corrugated packaging, custom bags, custom foam fabrication and design support. The page frames the site as a regional base for protecting valuable, delicate and time-critical shipments in Southeast Asia. Its quote form asks for the project location and the service needed, with crating, packaging, logistics, warehousing, rigging, labour and engineering options, and it notes that TransPak does not ship personal effects. The Singapore page lists a local phone number, and the site footer is dated 2026. It reads as aimed at companies with sensitive equipment, so confirm scope and lead times with the team.
6. Ng Guan Seng Woodworking
Ng Guan Seng Woodworking Industrial calls itself a leading manufacturer of wooden pallets, crates and cases. Its homepage lists new and recycled wooden pallets and cases, pallet repair and an on-site crating and packing service, which suggests the crew can work at your premises as well as in its own workshop. The site also carries a section headed ISPM / IPPC certification beside several management-system logos, but it gives no detail on scope, so ask exactly what applies to your shipment. The business is based in the Sungei Kadut industrial area in the north-west, the site shows a 2025 copyright line, and the contact page lists a phone number and an enquiry email.

7. Sing Mah Wooden Cases
Sing Mah Wooden Cases Manufacturer says it has operated since 1977 and presents itself as a packing and crating specialist. Its services menu lists packing and crating, vacuum packing, sensitive machine packing, out-of-gauge cargo packing, a heat treatment service, transportation, warehousing storage and collection of waste wood, pallets and crates. The site says its packing specialists will come to your designated location and that it uses recyclable packaging material wherever possible. It also lists wooden pallets in several grades and plastic pallets. The Tuas base shows weekday and Saturday-morning hours on its contact page, with a phone line, an enquiry email and a WhatsApp link. The site footer is dated 2021, so confirm current services directly before ordering.
How to choose
- Start with the item, not the crate. Measure length, width, height and weight, note the centre of gravity and whether the equipment is fragile, sensitive to moisture or oversized, and send photos. A firm that can design around the real object will ask follow-up questions before it quotes, which is usually a better sign than a quick generic reply.
- Ask what treatment the wood receives and what paperwork follows. Several firms on this list mention heat treatment, fumigation or ISPM 15 wording, but each is describing itself. Check your destination country's wood-packaging requirements with the importer or shipper, then ask the supplier to confirm in writing what marking or documents will accompany the crate.
- Decide where the packing happens. Some firms say they pack on site at your premises, others in their workshop, and some also arrange transport, container stuffing and storage. Clarify who lifts the equipment into the crate, who is responsible for damage in handling, and whether moving, rigging and crating are priced as separate items.
- Match the firm to the job. Heavy machinery, cleanroom tools and out-of-gauge cargo need rigging and engineering skills, while smaller or lighter items may only need a plywood case or a vacuum pack. Ask for similar jobs the firm has handled, and whether it designs the crate itself or builds to your drawings.
- Get the scope and timing in writing. A useful quote should name the crate type, materials, treatment, any moisture protection such as vacuum or VCI packing, and who handles uncrating at the other end. Confirm the lead time against your shipping cut-off, and check with your freight forwarder that the finished pack suits the planned route.
