MIL-Spec Packaging
Standardized Materials to Meet the Strictest Specifications
Military Supplier Packaging
MIL-Spec refers to military specification packaging. To meet this classification, packaging must adhere to a set of strict codes and regulations spelled out by the Department of Defense (DOD). Having standardized packaging specifications ensures items arrive safely without damage.
Because the regulations are so strict, MIL-Spec is considered the highest quality standard for shipping items. Whether you work with the defense industry or simply want to package your items with the highest standards available, our materials will help you meet every requirement.
The benefits of using military packaging include:
- Increased Durability: With its superior strength, military-grade packaging can withstand a wide range of harsh elements without compromising delicate or sensitive materials.
- Standardized Materials: Because all military packaging conforms to the same regulations, you don’t need to worry about the compliance of your shipments.
Selecting the Right Packaging Material
MIL-Spec shipping is required for the defense industry, but due to its superior quality, it has become the standard in numerous other sectors. If you ship satellite components, aircraft parts, medical equipment, or other specialized and sensitive items, chances are you need to follow the same strict regulations.
Understanding the different military specifications can help you select the best packaging for your specific application. At Proline Performance, we have decades of experience helping manufacturers and engineers choose the ideal material for their shipping needs.
