What are Interlok Crates?

A modular crate system designed for lighter freight packaging

Interlok Crates are manufactured from durable honeycomb board and designed for efficient packing, storage, and transport.

Unlike traditional timber crates, they are lightweight, reusable, recyclable, and export-ready.

This system allows different wall strengths and crate configurations depending on protection level, handling requirements, and shipment type.
