Partner Service — Coordinated by Flagship
Export Packing,
Crating & Over-Dimensional Freight
When your cargo is too heavy, too large, or too valuable for standard logistics, we have the right partner. Flagship Logistics works directly with Cratex Group — Western Canada's most trusted export packing and crating specialists since 1975.
A Trusted Partnership
The Best Crating Company in the City — and We Know Them Personally
When a client comes to us with cargo that's too heavy, oversized, or complex for standard warehousing and transport, we don't turn them away — we call Cratex Group.
Cratex Group has been Western Canada's go-to export packing and crating company since 1975. They handle everything from custom wooden crates for industrial machinery to climate-controlled packaging for fine art and antiques. We trust them completely because we work alongside them every day — Cratex uses our warehouse for their own operations, and we coordinate their crating services for our clients.
This is the Flagship advantage: you get one point of contact — us — and access to the best specialists in the city for every aspect of your shipment.
