Packaging Timber Selection Basics

Packaging timber is rarely a generic commodity order. It usually depends on what the timber has to protect.

For packaging and transport support, buyers often need:

• frame members
• blocking pieces
• bracing sections
• custom cut support timber

What affects the order

Packaging timber discussions usually depend on:

• product dimensions
• load method
• transport conditions
• whether cutting is standard or custom

Why custom details matter

If the order includes non-standard sizing, the supplier may need:

• a drawing
• a size list
• packing requirements
• delivery timing

That is also why custom processing often needs more lead time than stock supply.
