Custom Design & Engineering Capabilities

At Nelson Company of Kentucky, we specialize in custom-engineered wood packaging solutions built to meet real-world demands. From pallets and skids to boxes, crates, and specialty platforms, every design is developed with performance, efficiency, and reliability in mind.

Our in-house design process combines hands-on manufacturing experience with CAD-based engineering, allowing us to create packaging solutions tailored to your exact application. Whether you need to support heavy static loads, dynamic handling, export requirements, or unique material flow constraints, we engineer designs that work in your environment—not just on paper.

We offer:

• Custom CAD drawings and engineered layouts
  
  

• Design optimization for strength, weight, and cost efficiency
  
  

• Prototypes and sample builds for validation
  
  

• Solutions built to NWPCA standards and customer-specific requirements
  
  

• Designs compatible with forklifts, conveyors, and automated handling systems
  
  

If you have an existing design, we can reverse-engineer, improve, or cost-optimize it. If you’re starting from scratch, we’ll collaborate with your team to develop a solution that protects your product, improves handling, and reduces total cost.

Our goal is simple: engineered wood packaging that performs reliably from your floor to your customer’s door.
