A SnapCrate is a reusable wooden crate with patented snap-and-insert technology. Every aspect of a SnapCrate has been engineered to save time, money and the environment. SnapCrates are amazingly durable and will make up to 30 round trips on average! Both crate and palette base are manufactured with 5-ply exterior-grade Douglas Fir plywoood, and the palette is assembled with ring-shank nails in addition to glue. Our snaps are made of 301 stainless steel and have been tested to 10,000 cycles, while our patented nylon inserts, themselves recyclable, protect the plywood from the snap and the elements. Our patented tool-free technology allows a SnapCrate to be assembled and disassembled 75% faster than a traditional crate and will be just as sturdy regardless of who assembles it. SnapCrates are modular, so keeping spare parts on hand reduces your downtime if a part becomes worn or broken. Our in-house engineering team is ready to design a SnapCrate and dunnage unique to your product, adding to your bottom line with a reduction in damage and breakage. Of course you'll also be able to all but eliminate your disposal fees as well when you add reusable crates to your process. As you can imagine, all of this means great things for the environment. Our plywood is harvested from domestic, sustainable forests, and reusing a crate means less wood in landfills - at least 30 fewer discarded crates for every single SnapCrate! It's simple! It's smart! It's SnapCrate.
