How to Choose the Right Crate
It gives you the strength of timber at a fraction of the weight, so you pay less to ship the same load. Best for export, air freight, and anything where every kilogram counts.
Nothing beats solid timber for raw structural strength. When the load is heavy, oversized, or irreplaceable, wood crates handle it without compromise.
Combining honeycomb, corrugated board and corflute, hybrid crates cut weight and cost further than timber alone, without sacrificing the protection your goods need in transit.
For products that don't need crate-level protection, a custom-built cardboard box is the simplest, most cost-effective option, especially at volume.
Designed for transporting artwork, furniture and heavy machinery locally and internationally. Rebul boxes and crates are durable, eco-friendly and built for secure shipping and export.
Rebul Honeycomb Crates for Shipping, Export & Transport
The Rebul Crate is a high-strength honeycomb crate engineered for shipping, export, and transport applications where protection, weight reduction, and reliability matter.
Manufactured from advanced paper honeycomb board, it delivers comparable stacking strength to timber crates while offering superior wall and bending strength – without the weight, cost, or handling issues of wood.
Its cardboard-like appearance also reduces handling risk, as freight operators consistently treat honeycomb crates with greater care than traditional wooden alternatives.

- Comparable stacking strength to timber, without the weight
- Recyclable, biodegradable materials
- Custom-built to any size
- Reusable across multiple shipments
