Custom Shipping Containers in Illinois
Build Your Container Your Way
Custom shipping containers are often the best option when a standard container doesn’t fit how you actually work or what you need to store. Contractors and crews use custom containers to keep tools organized and because they are easier to access, with multiple roll-up doors and lock boxes. Businesses choose customized shipping containers with electrical packages to securely store inventory. Property owners and farms add vents, insulation, and flooring to protect equipment and supplies through changing seasons. Our team will guide you to the best upgrades for security, access, comfort, and workflow based on your budget and how you’ll use your container

Will the Custom Shipping Container Stay Dry Inside?
A common concern with customized shipping containers is moisture. Our containers are built for outdoor storage and are wind and watertight. If you’re storing items that can’t handle humidity, we’ll recommend the right combination of vents, insulation, and flooring. Because big temperature swings can lead to condensation, these upgrades help maintain a more stable interior environment.
What we’ll ask before we customize your shipping container:
- What are you storing?
- How often will you open the container?
- Where will it sit on your property?
- How long do you plan to keep it on site?

Pricing for Custom Shipping Containers
Custom shipping container pricing depends on the container size and condition, plus customized features you add on. The simplest way to budget is to think of it as the container’s base price plus the price of your upgrades.
The biggest cost drivers include:
- Number of doors, windows, and skylights
- Electrical package scope, such as lights, outlets, and panel requirements
- Insulation, upgraded flooring, and partition walls
- Air conditioning
