Packing and Crating

Packing and crating crews, warehouse associates, shipping clerks, and export coordinators prepare machinery, electronics, parts, and mixed freight for transportation. Daily work can mean measuring odd loads, building custom crates, blocking and bracing, stretch wrapping pallets, applying labels, and checking that loads can handle forklift moves and repeated handoffs. Zoro has served U.S. businesses since 2011 and stocks 14+ million products used in packing rooms, crate shops, and shipping areas. Buyers can source corrugated boxes, lumber connectors, nails, staples, banding, stretch film, bubble cushioning, foam, edge protectors, pallet covers, labels, tape, cutters, hand trucks, and dock supplies for day-to-day packing work. Material handling also calls for clear labeling, stable load securement, and PPE that fits OSHA expectations for lifting, eye protection, and cut resistance. With the right packing and crating supplies on hand, teams can protect freight, reduce damage claims, and keep outbound loads moving on schedule.
