Wooden Shipping Crates & Cases for Film, TV, Stage & Photography
Wooden crates, cases and pallets are widely used across film, television, theatre and commercial photography to create authentic industrial and period settings.
From dockyards and warehouses to vintage street scenes and cargo holds, timber containers instantly add realism and character to a production. They work equally well as background set dressing, practical props or structural elements on stage.
Suitable For:
- Film & TV set dressing
- Theatre productions
- Advertising campaigns
- Product photography
- Fashion shoots
- Exhibition displays
Crates and cases can be supplied in a range of sizes and finishes — from clean, new timber to distressed or aged effects. They can be used as stacking props, display platforms, storage features or seating elements depending on the scene requirements.
Hiring crates avoids the need for long-term storage and reduces transport and handling costs. Units can be supplied in volume for large sets or as individual feature pieces for close-up work.
