Durable, Custom Automotive Packaging
High-performance, scuff-resistant, and strength-tested packaging that safeguards components from manufacturing to delivery—and looks great doing it.
Packaging Formats We Build for Automotive
From aftermarket retail boxes to heavy-duty shippers for manufacturing loops, we engineer packaging that withstands the rigors of the automotive supply chain.
Folding Cartons for Aftermarket Retail
High-speed machineable cartons for parts and accessories. We construct these in styles specifically suited for automotive assembly lines:
- Auto Bottom for fast manual packing
- Snap Lock Bottom for heavy parts
- Straight/Reverse Tuck
- Windowed Cartons for visibility
Corrugated & Single-Face Lamination
For heavier kits, retail-ready shippers, and high-impact graphics. Our Single-Face Lamination (SFL) combines litho-quality print with the structural strength of corrugated micro-flute, perfect for brake kits and chassis parts that need shelf appeal + durability.
Blister Cards & Trapped Blisters
Ideal for small hardware, fuses, bulbs, and heavy accessories. Our blister card solutions include full-face seal options that are virtually tear-proof, providing security for higher-value small parts.
In-Store Displays
Point-of-purchase (POP) displays, floor bins, and counter trays for dealership programs and aftermarket rollouts.
Kitting & Fulfillment
Complete assembly for service kits. We handle the partition insertion, kitting, and distribution.
Packaging by Automotive Channel
Line-Side & Component Protection
Heavy-duty shippers and returnable-minded designs engineered for plant loops. We focus on vibration control and scuff prevention using custom dunnage and immobilization inserts.
Service Kits & Assemblies
Component cartons with precision-fit partitions. We tie this to ourfulfillment capability, assembling multi-part service kits ready for distribution to dealer networks.
Retail-Ready Visibility
Folding cartons, windowed cartons, and blister cards designed for theft resistance and hanger strength. We use brand-forward finishes (UV coatings, foil, emboss) to help your product stand out on the shelf.
Launches & Events
POP displays, trays, banners, and signage. We support seasonal tire events, new model launches, and dealership promo campaigns.
