Custom Wood Products for Packaging

At General Packaging Corporation, we design and manufacture custom wood items such as bases, skids, cleated panels and fully integrated wood assemblies. Every piece is precision-cut and built with durability in mind. Whether your product weighs 10 pounds or 10,000, we ensure it ships securely.

What Are Custom Wood Products?

Custom wood products are engineered packaging solutions that support, block and brace products during shipping and handling. These custom-made wood products are not generic pallets. Instead, they’re purpose-built for the dimensions, fragility and weight of your specific items.

Key Features and Benefits

Our custom wood product manufacturing process starts with understanding exactly what you’re shipping. From there, our engineering team works closely with you to develop a design that provides the best possible support and protection.

Here are just some of the features and benefits you’ll enjoy by working with us:

  • Built to your specs: Each product is custom-designed and produced based on your needs.
  • Strong and stable: Wood excels at withstanding heavy loads and repeated impacts, making it a reliable option for large items.
  • Reusable: Wood can be reused, repaired or refurbished to extend its life cycle.
  • Scalable production: We support both low-volume and high-volume runs, which makes us a fit whether you need a few pieces or full truckload quantities.

We include design and engineering services as part of our business development process. Once the prototype is approved, your custom wood product goes into production. After production, we can review and re-engineer as you ship new products or as your business changes.
