Every shipment sold and shipped by us, straight to the client.

No middlemen, sales agents or resellers in between.

Our heavy-duty crates

Built by our own team

No standard sizes: our own team builds heavy-duty export crates for every order, sized and braced for the stone they carry. We frame them from heat-treated timber, pack the stone tight, strap the crates, and fill the gaps in the container with air bags.

How we build them

Framed to size

Each crate starts as a solid timber frame cut to the order’s size, with a heavy base, corner posts and slats on every side.

Built in our own workshop

Our own team builds the crates in our workshop, so each one is made for its order.

An empty crate frame from several sides, before packing. Silent clip, 11 seconds.

How we pack and load them

Pavers and tiles

Packed tight in rows, with no gaps, inside a frame built for the order.

Cobbles and tumbled pavers

Filled to the top in tight rows and braced on the sides, with no loose space for pieces to shift.

Slabs and vanity tops

Stood on edge in a long crate divided into bays, then strapped tight.

Loaded tight

In the container, inflatable dunnage bags fill the gaps around the crates.

About this log

Why do you publish container numbers?

So you can see that each shipment is real: a real container, with the numbers from its shipping documents and photos of the crates we built and loaded. Each entry is added only after delivery.

What does “direct to clients” mean?

We sold the stone and arranged its shipping ourselves, straight to the client’s project. Every shipment here is a direct sale, not stone sold through traders, sales agents or other middlemen.

What does the seal show?

Every container is closed with a numbered seal at loading, and the seal numbers shown here come from the shipping documents. If the same seal is intact on arrival, the doors were not opened on the way. Customs can inspect a container and fit their own seal afterwards.

Which shipments are shown?

A selection of our most recent shipments, newest first, with containers that have no photos at the end. We add each one after it has been delivered.

Why don’t you show addresses or client names?

To protect our clients, we show only the city, region or country, never an address, and we blur house numbers, faces and number plates. We name a client only with their permission.

Planning a project?

Tell us the stone, the area and the delivery city, and we’ll quote it with shipping.
