Military & Defense Packaging Services

Export Corporation has been a trusted partner in military packaging solutions for over 70 years. Our ISO 9001-certified team ensures your components are preserved, protected, and compliant with all military specification (Mil-Spec) requirements. We provide comprehensive services, from military preservation and custom crating to ID marking, labeling, and packaging.

Military packaging is essential to ensure goods are protected during transportation, storage, and handling. Originating in WWII, Mil-Spec packaging was developed to eliminate cargo damage, transportation delays, and logistical challenges. Export Corporation helps you navigate the intricate requirements of military contracts so your shipments are delivered intact and on time.

What Is Military Packaging?

Military packaging is a way to preserve items of all sizes during transport and while in storage as required by mil-spec packaging requirements via Government contracts.

Properly preserving and protecting these items begins with quality exterior packaging.

Although all export packaging is subject to strict guidelines, mil spec packaging in general must comply with many requirements.

Some of these requirements are to ensure proper protection against corrosion, vibrational damage, moisture, and other types of damage, while others are designed to ensure proper labeling of all packaging.

Mil Spec Compliance Made Easy

Military packaging comes with precise standards, including MIL-STD-2073, MIL-STD-129, and MIL-STD-3010, among others. Instead of dedicating internal resources to learning these complex regulations, rely on our experts to deliver Mil-Spec-compliant packaging solutions.
