Wood Crate: wholesale price

A typical US business buyer pays a median of $300.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $90.00 at volume, on a typical 14-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price

For wood crate, the drivers are material, breathability, padding thickness, reusability, closure type, custom print, fit size, tamper resistance — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.

Real supplier quotes show a very wide spread because wood crate pricing is driven by size, construction grade, export treatment, and custom features; one U.S. supplier lists typical wooden shipping crates at $100 to $800+ per crate, while industrial listings for heavier-duty and automotive-use crates show materially higher quote bands. For automotive applications, realistic supplier routes are custom crate manufacturers, packaging integrators, and freight/industrial packaging specialists rather than catalog stock sellers. The quoted range narrows only when the design is standardized and volume is high; custom print, tamper resistance, cushioning, and reusable/collapsible hardware all push prices upward.

Also known as: export crate, industrial crate, packaging crate, shipping crate.
