Which code does this activity belong in?
Packing and crating covers establishments whose primary activity is preparing goods for transportation through physical packaging and crating services. The boundary with All Other Support Activities for Transportation is straightforward: once goods are packed and crated for shipment, establishments providing other transportation support services not involving this preparation work are classified in All Other Support Activities for Transportation. Examples of those other support activities include vanpool arrangement and stockyard operation.
