Specialized Packaging Solutions for the Aerospace Industry

Why Protective Packaging Is Mission-Critical in Aerospace

Protective packaging is crucial to maintain component integrity and functionality in storage and during transit. Some key aspects of the role of specialized packaging in the aerospace industry include:

Extreme sensitivity of components: Modern aircraft rely on sophisticated electronics, composites, and alloys that are highly susceptible to damage from corrosion, moisture, ESD and FOD (foreign object debris).

Long-term storage and readiness: Parts are often stored for years before being deployed. Packaging guarantees their preservation and immediate readiness, preventing degradation over time.

Strict regulatory compliance: The industry is governed by rigorous standards. Packaging must meet these strict specifications to ensure safety and airworthiness.

High value of assets: Aerospace components are incredibly expensive. Preventing component failure minimizes financial losses, mission delays and significant safety risks.

Our full range of MIL-SPEC packaging meets or exceeds strict military standards, ensuring the highest level of defense against all environmental hazards. We also provide personalized and converted solutions that adhere to your assets’ unique requirements, from small custom projects to large-scale batches.

These specialized bags offer different levels of protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD), either preventing or dissipating static electricity. They are essential for storing and transporting sensitive avionics, flight control systems and circuit boards.

Moisture barrier bags create a hermetically sealed environment to protect delicate instruments and composite materials from moisture, which can cause corrosion and material degradation. Their aluminum and metalized layers block moisture vapor and are puncture-resistant.

VCI paper and film provide critical corrosion prevention for ferrous and nonferrous metal parts, such as landing gear components, engine parts and structural elements, especially during long-term storage.

Desiccant bags are used within sealed packages to absorb any trapped moisture and ensure that the internal environment remains dry and safe. Humidity indicator cards are used in tandem with desicants to monitor and control the moisture levels on packaging.
