At Bristol Pallets, we specialise in the rapid supply of quality ISPM 15-certified wooden crates and cases ready for collection or immediate dispatch across the region.

Whether you’re based in BristolAvonmouthPortisheadClevedonBathChippenham, or as far afield as Tewkesbury or Weston-super-Mare, we can quickly manufacture custom timber crates, heavy-duty shipping cases, and bespoke pallets to suit your exact needs – and get them to you fast, anywhere in the South West.

Our workshops operate 24/7, almost all year round. When you’re facing a tight deadline for a shipment leaving Bristol Port (Avonmouth/Royal Portbury Dock), an urgent air freight from Bristol Airport, or a last-minute load for a distribution hub in Severnside, we can get your crate or pallet built and on its way, often on the same day to help you meet critical deadlines.

Tight deadlines are our speciality – making us the perfect partner when you need a super-fast turnaround for a made-to-order timber crate, case, or custom pallet.

Custom Made Crates in Bristol

Fast Production – Meeting Critical Shipping Deadlines

We understand that in the South West, shipping delays can mean missing a container sailing or losing a vital slot on a road freight network. That’s why we pride ourselves on rapid production. In emergencies, we can potentially build and dispatch bespoke crates or cases on the same day you order – helping you avoid costly missed shipments.

Our crates are built from sustainably sourced UK timberISPM 15-certified and IPPC-stamped, ensuring your goods breeze through customs in the EU, USA, Australia, and beyond.

We work with industries across the Bristol region, including:

  • Aerospace & Engineering suppliers sending heavy and precise equipment.
  • Logistics & Distribution companies requiring custom pallet sizes for efficiency.
  • Creative Industries (Art, Media, Film) shipping fragile and high-value items.
  • Manufacturing firms transporting finished goods globally.

Custom Pallet Bottoms – Or Not, It’s Your Choice

We usually produce crates with sturdy pallet bases for easy handling with forklifts and pallet trucks. However, as everything is custom-made, we can happily omit the pallet bottom if your specific handling or storage requirements prefer a flat-base box.

We deliver nationwide – including same-day service available across the South West and low-cost scheduled deliveries to the rest of the UK.


Collapsible & Reusable Export Cases for Storage Efficiency

When storage space is tight – perhaps in a small unit in Central Bristol or a workshop in Stapleton – our collapsible OSB or plywood export cases are an ideal solution. They are:

  • Flat-packed for minimal storage space.
  • Easy to assemble without specialised tools.
  • Perfect for items that need to make the return journey, such as trade show displays or touring equipment.

The clip-lock design means they can be repeatedly dismantled, stored, and reassembled when needed – making them popular with local companies that send equipment to exhibitions overseas or need sturdy, reusable packaging.
