What we make
Packaging built around your freight, not the other way around
Custom-built to a specific load and dimension, or standard and ready to go. Eleven sites means we supply at scale without compromising on quality.
Cases, Crates & Bins
When your freight is awkward, fragile or high-value, a cardboard box will not cut it. Standard wooden crates off the shelf, or custom cases engineered around your product.

What our clients say
CMTP have been a key supplier of EOS Defence Systems since July 2017. Their expertise and assistance with our product packaging have enabled EOS Defence Systems to reduce shipping costs by more than a third. Their exceptional product consistency and quality control have provided packaging which both protects and enhances final customer perception. CMTPs customer focus is commendable with agile response to delivery demand. And thanks for the support. EOS would achieve little without support of Suppliers like CMTP.
Dr Warwick Holloway
President, EOS Defence Systems - Australia
We have a very busy business sending expensive and delicate joinery around the world, which needs to be wrapped and crated for maximum protection. We looked around and most crate building companies wanted a minimum 2 week turn around, which we found didn’t always work for us, then by chance we found CMTP group. Not only does Kieran and CMTP go out of their way on customer service, but their turnaround is very obliging, and their prices are competitive as well. Oh, and they only use certified export grade materials, so there’s no quarantine troubles at the other end. We would not hesitate in recommending this company.
