1. Unmatched Resistance and Protection

Wood packaging offers a solid and reliable structure, ideal for protecting large or heavy products during storage and transportation.

  • High load capacity.

  • Impact absorption over long distances.

  • Protection against stacking or falling merchandise.

Ideal for sectors such as manufacturing, machinery, construction, and agro-industry.

2. Cost-benefit in Large Scale Operations

Companies that handle volume, especially exporters, require cost-effective solutions. Wood allows:

  • Reusable or recyclable packaging.

  • Simple repairs instead of total replacement.

  • Lower cost per unit compared to plastic or metal solutions.

3. Compliance with International Regulations

Wood packaging is widely accepted in global trade. At PDS, we offer packaging with thermal treatment (HT) in accordance with the ISPM 15 standard, required by customs and regulators in America, Europe, and Asia.

📦 This means:

  • Lower risk of rejection at borders.

  • Greater confidence in export processes.

4. Sustainability: Natural and Renewable Packaging

Wood is a natural, biodegradable, and recyclable material, allowing companies to align their logistics with sustainability policies (ESG). At PDS we work with:

  • Responsibly sourced wood.

  • Options with FSC certification, if required.

  • Circular economy projects with reused packaging.

5. Adaptability and Customization

Wood packaging can be custom designed:

  • Wooden boxes.

  • Open or closed cages.

  • Pallets with special reinforcements.

  • Hybrid wood-cardboard solutions for delicate products.

This makes them perfect for industrial projects, maritime shipments, or products with irregular shapes.

Conclusion

In a market that demands efficiency, compliance, and environmental responsibility, wood packaging remains the favorite option for its balance of cost, protection, and sustainability.

At PDS, we offer wood packaging solutions designed for companies that move large volumes, export, or require logistical flexibility.
