Do companies still use wooden crates?

Answer by  mediajunkie (592)

Companies that ship large loose items, such as antiques, still use them. They are only environmentally friendly if the crates are being reused many times over.

There are still companies in existence that use wooden crates. Art is frequently shipped in wooden crates as the rigid exterior protects the contents. Wooden crates are not the most environmentally-friendly shipping method. However, it has become common to find the crates being recycled.
