Custom Auto Parts and Industrial Packaging

What auto and industrial packaging covers

Parts and tools are often heavy, oddly shaped or oily, and they travel through warehouses, distributors and shops before reaching the user. Packaging needs to protect the part, carry clear identification such as part numbers and barcodes, and stack well on shelves and pallets.

Styles that suit parts and tools

• Corrugated shipping boxes for most parts and tools.
• Double wall boxes for heavy components such as brake parts.
• Auto-lock bottom boxes for quick packing on a busy line.
• Hanger boxes for small accessories in retail stores.
• Window boxes for tools and accessories sold to consumers.
• Die-cut inserts that hold parts and stop movement.

Materials and finishes

Corrugated board is the standard. Single wall board in E-flute or B-flute suits lighter parts, while double wall board adds stacking and crush strength. Kraft corrugated keeps costs sensible for warehouse goods; a white outer liner gives brighter print for retail. Coatings can help resist oil and moisture. Simple one or two-color printing often works best for parts packaging.

Design tips

Make part numbers, fitment details and barcodes easy to read from the shelf end of the box. Use one consistent layout across your range so staff and customers can find parts quickly. A blank panel or label area lets you print one box for several part numbers. Hazardous materials such as batteries or chemicals have their own shipping and labeling rules; check current requirements before you finalize the box.

How ordering works

Tell us the part dimensions and weight, how they are packed and the quantity. We reply with pricing and suggest board strength and inserts. Our designers can set your artwork on the dieline, and you approve a digital proof before print. Our production partner makes your boxes and ships them anywhere in the USA and Canada. For large ranges, ask about a family of box sizes that share one design.
