The Red Light therapy bed Manufacturers generally choose one of three approaches, based on the size of the bed and whether it ships fully assembled.
1. Custom Wooden Crates for Full-Size Cabins
A fully assembled cabin is almost always crated. The crate is built to the dimensions of the bed with a small clearance, typically nailed or screwed together from plywood panels over a lumber frame.
Crates of this type usually include a base that doubles as a pallet, so a forklift can lift the entire unit without touching the device. Some manufacturers add internal cross-bracing so the crate does not rack or twist when it is lifted from one corner.
For international shipments, the wood must meet ISPM 15 követelményeknek, which means it is heat-treated to a core temperature of 56 degrees Celsius for at least 30 jegyzőkönyv, or fumigated, and stamped with the corresponding mark. Untreated wood can be refused at the border or returned at the shipper’s expense.
2. Reinforced Cartons on a Pallet
Pod-style beds, folding units, and mid-size systems often ship in double-wall or triple-wall corrugated cartons. The carton is placed on a wooden pallet, strapped down, and sometimes topped with a plywood sheet to spread the load.
This format is lighter and cheaper than a full crate, but it offers less protection against punctures. It is more common for domestic ground freight than for ocean shipping, where stacking pressure and humidity are far greater.
3. Multi-Carton Modular Shipments
Some Red Light therapy bed manufacturers design beds that ship partly disassembled. The frame, panelek, and control unit travel in separate cartons, often two to four in total, banded together on a single pallet.
Modular shipping reduces dimensional weight and makes it easier to move the shipment through doorways and stairwells. The trade-off is that assembly is required on arrival, and each carton must be tracked individually so that a missing box does not stall installation.
