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.
Still not sure? Use the comparison above as a starting point, then talk to our team. Tell us what you're shipping, where it's going, and what matters most (cost, weight, reuse, or maximum protection) and we'll recommend the right build for your load.
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.

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