Improving Automotive and Lithium Battery Shipping with Rowlinson Packaging
Since starting in 1966, Rowlinson Packaging Ltd has become a well known name in the timber packaging business. We provide both custom made and standard packaging solutions to meet the different needs of our customers. With factories in Nantwich, Cheshire, and Thetford, Norfolk, we are able to serve businesses across the UK and Europe. We focus on quality work, caring for the environment, and finding new ways to protect products during shipping and storage.

Automotive Packaging Solutions Protecting Important Parts at Every Step
In the automotive industry, moving parts safely from the factory to the assembly line is very important. Parts like delicate sensors or heavy engine pieces need strong packaging that keeps them safe during the trip. At Rowlinson Packaging, we make timber crates and pallets that are tough, dependable, and designed to meet these needs. Our crates and pallets protect automotive parts from common problems like moisture, dust, and bumps that happen during transport. This lowers the chance of damage and makes sure parts get to where they need to go ready to use without delays or extra costs.
What makes us different is our use of special design software called SolidWorks CAD. This helps us create packaging that fits each part’s size and weight exactly. This careful design makes it easier to handle and store parts and helps save space and transport costs for manufacturers and delivery companies. Also, timber packaging is a good choice for the environment compared to plastic or metal. Timber can be grown again and breaks down naturally. When we get timber from good sources, it helps companies meet rules and goals about being responsible to the environment.


Lithium Battery Packaging Keeping Safety as the Top Priority
Shipping lithium batteries is difficult because they are seen as dangerous goods. Fires or short circuits can happen if the packaging is not right. Knowing these risks, Rowlinson Packaging has created special timber packaging that follows strict international safety rules for moving lithium batteries.
Each package we make follows rules like the UN guidelines and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code. This means your shipment will be legal, safe, and worry free. Our designs include padding inside, separate spaces, and strong fastenings to stop batteries from moving or causing problems while being shipped.
We make packaging for all sizes and types of lithium batteries, from small ones used by customers to large industrial ones. This way, every package offers the best protection without being too big or heavy. This helps lower shipping costs and makes the process more efficient.

Strong Focus on Being Environmentally Friendly
Caring for the environment is very important to us at Rowlinson Packaging. We only use timber from well managed forests in the UK and Scandinavia. This follows UK Timber Rules and other rules that make sure wood is harvested in a responsible way.
Besides getting wood responsibly, we also use smart technology to cut down waste and help the environment. One example is our biomass burner that changes leftover timber pieces into energy. This reduces the waste we send to landfill and lowers our carbon footprint, helping us make manufacturing greener.
Our timber is treated following ISPM15 rules that stop pests and diseases from spreading in international shipping. This makes sure our packaging is accepted worldwide, giving our customers peace of mind when sending goods abroad.

Our work to keep quality high and protect the environment shows in the certificates we hold. We have ISO 9001 for managing quality and ISO 14001 for managing our impact on the environment. We also meet ISPM15 international rules for timber packaging and belong to the National Wooden Pallet and Container Association.
