Frequently Asked Questions About Pallets, Skids & Crates

  • How Much Do Custom Pallets, Skids, or Crates Cost?

    Pricing depends on size, materials, load requirements, and whether heat treatment is needed. In Gibsonburg, OH, standard pallets are typically more affordable, while custom builds cost more due to design and material specifications. James Coe Wood Products, Inc., provides free estimates after reviewing your shipping or storage needs.

  • When Should I Use Custom Wood Crates Instead of Pallets?

    Custom wood crates are best when shipping fragile, high-value, or irregularly shaped items that need full enclosure or additional protection. Unlike pallets, crates provide added protection from impact and weather, making them ideal for long-distance or international shipments from Ohio and Michigan.

  • What Is the Difference Between Wood Pallets and Skids?

    Wood pallets include a bottom deck that allows entry from all sides, making them ideal for forklifts and racking systems. Skids have no bottom deck, offering a simpler, heavier-duty base often used for machinery or static loads where durability matters most.

  • Do You Provide Heat-Treated Packaging for International Shipping?

    Yes, heat-treated pallets and custom wood crates are available and fully comply with ISPM-15 international export regulations. This process removes pests and harmful organisms, ensuring your shipment meets global requirements and reducing the risk of delays, fines, or rejections at ports.

  • How Long Does It Take to Manufacture Wood Pallets or Crates?

    Production time varies depending on size, quantity, and complexity. Standard wood pallets can often be ready within a few days, while custom wood crates may take a week or more. We provide estimated timelines upfront to ensure your shipping schedule stays on track.
