In today’s global trade environment, exporters must ensure that every shipment meets international packaging standards. That’s where ISPM 15 wooden crates and export-ready timber products come in.
At Arminel Industries, we specialise in manufacturing heat-treated wooden packaging designed for both local industries and global exporters. Based in South Africa, we supply wooden packing crates, custom deck pallets, and a full range of timber products for export that comply with the ISPM 15 standard, ensuring your goods are safe, secure, and customs-ready.
Understanding ISPM 15 and Why It Matters for Exporters
ISPM 15 stands for International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15. It’s a globally recognised regulation that ensures wood packaging materials used in trade are free from pests and contaminants that could harm ecosystems in other countries.
Any wooden packaging thicker than 6 mm — such as pallets, crates, skids, boxes, and dunnage — must be treated and stamped with the ISPM 15 mark before being used for export.
Using certified, heat-treated wooden crates not only protects your shipment but also prevents customs delays, rejections, or costly fumigation at foreign ports.
ISPM 15 Wooden Crates — Built for International Standards
ISPM 15 wooden crates are specifically manufactured to meet global phytosanitary standards. At Arminel Industries, we construct durable export crates using heat-treated timber, ensuring the wood reaches a minimum core temperature of 56°C for 30 minutes to eliminate any pests.
Each crate is stamped with the IPPC mark, showing it’s fully compliant and approved for international use.
Our export crates are ideal for:
Machinery and heavy equipment
Agricultural and industrial goods
Fragile or high-value exports
We also offer custom wooden crates designed to suit your specific product dimensions and shipping requirements.
