CUSTOM PACKAGING

To determine how your items should be packaged, we will assess the nature of each asset, including its size, components, and potential sensitivities or damage points. This will ensure that the right materials are used to fabricate custom inserts and wraps that will cradle every item safely while it is shipped in a durable box or wooden crate. We use state-of-the-art engineering software to effectively and efficiently design custom foam molds and box inserts, which keeps costs low and quality high. Once we determine the best packing methods for your specific needs, we may recommend:

• Foam inserts. Custom fabricated foam box inserts are one of the most reliable solutions for preventing the shifting of contents during shipping, which is a leading cause of damage during transport. They also help to reduce vibrations and shock, so even the most sensitive equipment can be protected. For electronic goods, we will select anti-static foam to further reduce potential liabilities. Other foam insert materials include ethafoams, polyurethane foams, zotefoams, and polyethylene foams. Each foam piece is crafted to precision using CNC milling and cutting, and we have experience making large foam dome covers, cradles, and inserts for the military and aerospace industries.
• Barrier bags. You cannot always predict shipping conditions, especially when goods are traveling overseas by boat. Therefore, it can be beneficial to have an added layer of protection with barrier bags. These are designed to block moisture, helping to prevent corrosion and other types of water damage. Anti-static barrier bags are also available to protect sensitive electronic equipment. Barrier bags can be sized to fit any scale, and they are designed to military specifications.
• Heat-shrink wrapping. Vehicles and other large pieces of mechanical equipment can benefit from full protection from the elements with heat-shrink wrapping. Heat-shrink material is wrapped around an item, and then heat is used to tightly seal the wrap. This helps keep out dirt, water, and debris, as well as provide protection against sun damage. Heat-shrink wrapping is a flexible process, so it can take place in our facilities or onsite at your own facilities.
