FAQs

Are your crates American made?

What would Great American Crate Company be without America? Well, we would have to change our very name. This great nation is in our blood, and is involved in everything we do. Not only are our employees American, but the very lumber and hardware is American, as well. We believe in giving back to the community that builds us up, and that starts with American resources and American workers.

 

Can Great American Crate Company accommodate my special requests?

We create unique, functional crates for all your shipping needs, no matter the size or function.

However, we pride ourselves in creating quality custom crates for any product and purpose.

 

Are your crates really custom?
