Designing custom stillages for your business
Whether it’s a PVC insert, Polyurethane dunnage or a customised steel stillage, we can provide the best quality stillages to meet your requirements. Our team of expert designers makes sure your stillages are of the highest quality and are made precisely to meet your specific needs.
The process to getting your custom stillages is simple. Send your enquiry to our sales team and we can provide a concept design to you within 1-2 weeks. After approval, our design team will create the full working drawing. The manufacturing team will then make the prototype.
3D printing and laser cutting
Using 3D printing and laser cut suppliers our prototype stillages will be manufactured to the lowest tolerances and bring the 3D model to life. Once we receive and approve the prototype, we can start making the volume production you need, which usually takes about 3 to 6 weeks. You can read some of the great feedback we have had from our customers for our custom stillages below.Benefits of using custom stillages
Many benefits exist in using custom stillages to transport your company’s goods. The advantages include:
- Maximising space saving and stackability
- Improving the safe storage and transportation of your goods
- Protection to keep your products safe during handling
- Reducing your carbon footprint by minimising breakages
Custom stillage design – how to order
1. Contact our sales team – get in touch on sales@bluestarproducts.co.uk to enquire about custom stillages and get a quote.
2. Provide a CAD model of your part – this ensures our design team can effectively design your custom stillage to maximise storage space and security.
3. Approve the design concept – using all of the information your provided our design team, we should have a design concept for approval within 1 to 2 weeks.
4. Approve the full drawing – once the concept is approved, our design team will work on the full drawing within 2-3 weeks.
5. Approve the custom stillage prototype – after designs are approved by you, we will work on creating a prototype stillage for you to see how your custom stillages will perform.
6. Final production – following signing off our prototype, we turn around the final production within a matter of weeks.
I've collaborated with Bluestar on several transport and storage solutions, the design prototypes are exceptional.

Here, we showcase how businesses from diverse industries have leveraged our services to achieve remarkable production results.
Focusing on maximising transportation space, we created a 3D model of a large articulated lorry loaded with our fully custom stillages.
This showed JCB how our products help to increase the amount of room in a lorry and how to help reduce the number of trips needed to carry the same amount of parts.
We work on providing cutting edge transport and storage solutions for automotive giants McLaren.
Taking advantage of our polyurethane moulding and insert department, McLaren specify a variety of different measurements via thorough designs.
We take these and provide a fully bespoke output featuring the highest-quality materials and levels of production.
Lotus supplied us with CAD data for parts to be stored in one of our bespoke stillages. We designed a fully customised solution around the CAD drawings.
Taking this brief, we’ve completed thorough drawings and designed how the stillage will look.
With prototypes provided and approval secured, the bespoke stillages have revolutionised both transport and storage for Lotus.

Our Services
CAD Design
CAD software allows our stillages to meet every characteristic of a project’s requirement, every time.
3D Printing and Modeling
3D printing of product inserts and product pieces help stillage manufacturers to reduce lead times of their shipments with quick turnarounds of prototypes.
Polyurethane Mouldings
Eliminating elements of risk for valuable or fragile parts, having PU fitted inside the stillage is a perfect way to minimise movement of your parts during transportation.
PVC Inserts
Using PVC dunnage inserts for custom-designed dividers and compartments can help to further maximise the benefits of using stillages.
We craft each bespoke stillage and post pallet with precision to accommodate your unique storage requirements. This removes wasted space and improves your storage.
When we refer to our stillages, what is the meaning of a Bluestar Stillage? Stillages are
strong storage and transport solutions.
When it comes to efficient storage and transportation solutions, stillages stand as a silent backbone of many industries.
