Specializing in Optimal Cushioning Systems

Because different styles of boxes and crates have different load capacities, determining the best container to match your item is critical. However, accounting for shock and vibration for many items can be just as important, which is why we are specialists at developing and using the proper cushioning materials based on item weight, fragility, and vibration sensitivity.
