Security Sealable Crates and Custom Crates for Modern Supply Chains

As supply chains evolve, businesses are placing greater emphasis on efficiency, traceability and security. This has led to a noticeable shift away from standard storage solutions towards more tailored approaches, driving strong demand for both custom crates and security sealable crates across a wide range of industries.

As a long-standing provider of security seals, Harcor offers a deep chain of custody understanding - an increasingly important consideration alongside the growing demand for custom crates. Many businesses are not only looking for fit-for-purpose crates, but also ways to track and protect goods throughout the supply chain and integrate into automated environments.



How Custom Crates Are Improving Efficiency

As automation requirements become more common, businesses need solutions that are designed for their exact workflows.

Custom crates offer:
•    Configurations to suit specific products and handling processes
•    Improved space utilisation through stackable and nestable designs
•    Enhanced durability for demanding warehouse and transport conditions
•    Operational efficiency through better compatibility with conveyors and automation systems

This shift is being driven by the increasing adoption of automation technologies, including AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), which require consistent and reliable crate performance to function effectively.

Supporting Automation and Traceability

Automation is no longer limited to large-scale operations, it is becoming standard across manufacturing, warehousing and distribution environments. As a result, crate solutions must do more than simply hold products.

Harcor’s custom crate range is designed with this in mind, offering options such as:

•    RFID tags and QR codes for real-time tracking and traceability
•    Barcode integration to streamline inventory management
•    Structural integrity for compatibility with automated handling systems

These features help businesses improve visibility across their supply chain while reducing manual handling and errors.

The Role of Security Sealable Crates

Security sealable crates provide an added layer of protection by allowing contents to be secured with tamper-evident security seals. This ensures:

•    Immediate visual evidence of tampering
•    Improved chain of custody control
•    Greater accountability across logistics processes

Harcor’s security sealable crate solutions incorporate dedicated sealing points and are compatible with uniquely numbered crate security seals, making them ideal for sensitive goods, high-value items and regulated industries.

Crates to Suit Your Operation

Whether you need crates for healthcare, retail, warehousing, manufacturing or logistics, each solution can be designed around your operational requirements.

•    A wide range of sizes, colours and configurations
•    Logo branding and identification options
•    Integration of RFID, QR codes and barcodes
•    Optional lids, dividers and ventilation features
•    A security sealable crate option is available where required

As automation expands and supply chains become more complex, the role of the humble crate is evolving. It is no longer just a storage solution, it is a component of operational efficiency, traceability and where required, security.
