What We Make

WOOD PACKAGING, MADE TO SPEC

From a single hand-built crate to high-volume runs off our automated assembly line — your needs are our guide.

01

Boxes & Crates

Dunnage boxes, forging-style boxes, and fully custom crates — built to protect what's inside, however delicate or heavy. We handle small specialty runs and large-volume production alike, scaling to your line rate without sacrificing fit or finish. Need ISPM-15 for an international shipment? We build it in from the start, so there's no scrambling at the dock.

Pallets & Skids

Every pallet starts with your exact specs — size, weight capacity, wood type, treatment — never a one-size-fits-all template. We engineer around how it'll actually be used: the load it carries, the racking or shipping it has to survive, and whether it makes one trip or a hundred. From standard 48×40s to dimensions no catalog carries.

Specialty Products

Some products just don't fit anything off the shelf — and that's exactly what this line is for. We've built crates stretching 26 feet and skids rated for extreme heavy-duty loads, alongside small-run packaging for oddly shaped or delicate items. If you've been told "we don't make anything for that," bring it to us.

How We Deliver

MORE THAN A LUMBER YARD

​Engineering, compliance, inventory, and logistics — the full support that keeps your product moving and your shipments compliant.

ISPM-15 Heat Treatment

Export Compliance
The international standard for wood packaging in global trade. We treat to a 133°F core for 30+ minutes and stamp every piece with our "HT" mark — so your shipment clears border inspection. Regularly audited by Package Research Laboratory.

Computer-Aided Design

Pallet Design System
Using Wood Pack Global's Pallet Design System, we balance function and economy, then hand you a weight-and-durability analysis. Reduce cost, reduce product damage, increase safety — before anything ships.

Inventory Management

Vendor Managed
Cut lead time and use your space efficiently with stock from our large-volume runs. Weekly releases, blanket purchase orders, pre-paid stock, and more — programs built around how you actually order.

Delivery

MI · OH · IN
Flatbed or van, full semi loads to small-volume drops, across Southern Lower Michigan, Northern Ohio and Northern Indiana. We meet demanding schedules economically — or load your truck right in our yard.
Custom Built

If You Can Ship It, We Can Crate It

Forging-style banded boxes and large-load pallets built our reputation — but we make specialty shipping solutions for every kind of product. Plywood or OSB, export heat-treated, boxes with lids, interior support wedges, coded parts, small custom skids. Done and done.

Our Story

Six Decades, One Standard

1960

Cook & Kennedy open the doors, supplying wooden crates to a single customer.

1975

Bob Stevens buys the business. He and his son Mark run it for 45 years.

1995

Sister company Mulch Wholesalers opens on Barrett Avenue — green long before it was fashionable.

2021

Dustin & Becky Ruth purchase C&K Box, continuing the Stevens legacy of quality and service.

From 2 Guys to a Full Crew

Hand-Built Craft, Modern Capacity

From two people working hard for one customer to a staff of 15 filling orders for dozens, C&K Box has survived more than 60 years in manufacturing. We still build custom and small-run pallets and boxes by hand — while our Woodpecker automated assembly machine handles large-volume loads daily.

Every cut is held to the same tolerances, run after run, so the pallet that shows up on your dock in March matches the one from last October. We use every edge — literally and figuratively — to deliver superior packaging at a fair price.

A Green Company Before It Was Fashionable

C&K Box starts with lumber that can't be used in the grade market. Our sister company, Mulch Wholesalers, grinds and colors our clean wood waste into an earth-friendly alternative to the landfill — extending the cycle to beautify your home or business.
