FAQ: Crate Design

Can I design wood crates in PDS?

Crate design functionality is now here — though it lives in a completely separate software platform from the Pallet Design System™.

Woodpack Global has developed the Crate Design System™ (CDS), a purpose-built platform that brings powerful engineering capabilities to the design of export crates, packing crates, and industrial enclosures. Built on cutting-edge technology, CDS transforms how crates are engineered for strength and performance.

Learn more about Crate Design System here, CDS Licensing information, or contact us below and we’ll be in touch.

The Pallet Design System™ (PDS) is the proprietary software program of Woodpack Global (formerly the National Wooden Pallet & Container Association) and is federally registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. Pallet Design System™ is a trademark of Woodpack Global.
