Crating & Packaging Service Areas

Proudly Serving the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Surrounding Area

and all of the USA!

Quality Support, LLC designs and manufactures industrial packaging, including custom crates, packaging systems, and industrial lumber, for manufacturers across Pennsylvania and the Eastern U.S. The company supports industries such as aerospace, defense, energy, and Military / Defense and others by providing packaging built to protect equipment during storage and transport.

This page outlines Quality Support’s service coverage, including crate and freight services in Williamsport and Lewisburg, PA, industrial lumber distribution from Scottdale, PA, and contract packaging capabilities across Pennsylvania and beyond.

Industrial packaging failures can lead to equipment damage, delays, or compliance issues, particularly for defense and aerospace shipments that require specific documentation and adhere to export standards. Many manufacturers require packaging that meets ISPM 15 requirements and supports proper documentation for government-related shipments.

Quality Support provides custom crating, packaging, and lumber supply to help manufacturers meet these requirements while simplifying sourcing across multiple vendors.

Our Crating & Packaging Capabilities

As a family-owned manufacturer since 1992,  we deliver the integrated industrial packaging solutions that franchise operations cannot match. Our core capabilities span:

Our capabilities include:

• Custom wooden crates built to customer specifications or Special Packaging Instructions (SPI) for equipment protection during storage and transport
• Industrial lumber supply, including treated and wood for crates, pallets, and skids, with export-compliant heat-treated options
• Contract packaging services, such as corrugated packaging, foam inserts, and packaging kits for in-house assembly
• Protective hard cases with custom foam interiors for sensitive or high-value equipment
• Precision fabrication using CNC saws and automated cutting equipment 

Packaging requirements often vary based on equipment size, weight, and shipping conditions. Quality Support works with manufacturers and contractors to develop packaging that meets application-specific requirements, including export standards and documentation needs for government-related shipments.

Industrial Lumber in Scottdale, PA

Quality Support’s Scottdale, PA facility supports industrial lumber distribution for manufacturers requiring materials for crating and packaging. The company supplies lumber for crates, pallets, skids, and other industrial applications, helping customers reduce the need to store excess inventory on-site. We stock:

• Hardwood and softwood: treated and untreated grades for crating, pallets, and skids.
• Plywood in multiple thicknesses: used for custom crate construction.
• Rapid project turnaround: supporting tight production schedules.

The lumber Scottdale, PA manufacturers source from us extends far beyond local pickup. We deliver throughout Pennsylvania and East of the Mississippi, distributing high-grade Scottdale lumber. Scottdale, PA, serves as our launchpad to reach aerospace facilities in the Southeast, defense contractors in the Mid-Atlantic, and energy projects across the Eastern U.S.

Contract Packaging Throughout Pennsylvania & the U.S.

Our Pennsylvania contract packaging capabilities serve OEMs and prime contractors nationwide requiring packaging that meets stringent military, aerospace, and nuclear standards:

• Mil-Spec Compliance: Getting the physical crate right is only half the battle; navigating government red tape is the other. Our MIL-I-45208 inspection system certification guarantees your packaging meets strict Department of Defense requirements. More importantly, our team flawlessly handles the complex WAWF (Wide Area Work Flow) documentation. We know that a single paperwork error can prevent or delay your DoD payment, so we ensure full administrative compliance before your shipment ever leaves the dock.
• ASTM Standards: We design and test packaging to ASTM specifications for material performance, so components survive harsh shipping conditions without damage.
• NIST SP 800-171 Compliance: Our systems follow the federal cybersecurity requirements that apply to contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

Industry-Specific PA Packing Solutions:

• Aerospace: Custom corrugated boxes with die-cut foam inserts protecting avionics and flight components.
• Electronics/Semiconductors: ESD/anti-static foam packaging preventing electrostatic discharge damage.
• Nuclear: Heavy-duty crating with vapor barriers and cushioning for radiation detection equipment.
• Energy: Packaging kits for field assembly supporting wind, solar, and traditional energy installations.
• Defense: Crating and packaging supporting government-related shipments

Unlike franchise operations limited to standardized boxes, our Pennsylvania contract packaging engineering team designs solutions addressing your exact equipment dimensions, weight distribution, and compliance requirements.

Custom Design, Engineering, and Manufacturing

When standard packaging does not meet application requirements, we provide design and fabrication support, including:

• Application Engineering: We evaluate your equipment specifications, shipping conditions, and compliance requirements to recommend optimal packaging approaches- not force-fit standard solutions.
• Prototype Development: We build sample packaging for testing and validation before full production runs, verifying performance under actual shipping stresses.
• On-Site Packaging Services: For customers who prefer in-house packaging, we provide on-site assembly services or deliver packaging kits for your team to assemble per our specifications.
• CNC Precision Fabrication: Computer-controlled cutting guarantees consistent dimensions across production runs, a strict requirement for packaging that needs precise equipment fit or stackable shipping configurations.

This integrated approach allows OEMs and defense contractors to source lumber, fabrication, foam cutting, and packaging assembly from a single supplier.

Quality Support, LLC: Serving Pittsburgh, PA and Beyond
