APA – The Engineered Wood Association represents the majority of plywood and oriented strand board manufacturers in North America. Performancepanels.com is APA’s dedicated site for technical information, product specification and resources. Compared to those made of lumber, boxes and crates made of structural wood panels are cost-effective in three ways:
Labor for fabrication can be cut by 50 to 75 percent. Panel crates are lighter: a 1,000 cubic-foot crate weighs 700 pounds less than the same crate made of lumber. Reduced outside volume: the same crate of 1,000 cubic foot interior capacity is 21 cubic feet smaller than its lumber counterpart.
All three factors result in saving money, with no sacrifice in performance. Structural panel boxes and crates are unsurpassed for resisting rough handling, withstanding top loading and providing cargo anchorage.
