Our team quickly assesses the need and offers the best solution to balance cost and product protection in a myriad of transportation conditions.

Whether your need is a sustainable packaging program or a one-time application for a critical shipment, we can support any custom packaging project.

Services

UFP Packaging offers a full range of packaging services, including design, engineering, testing, manufacturing, shipping, and inventory management.

Custom Design

Our team of design and engineering technicians specializes in driving cost out of packaging design and validating performance in the modern distribution environment. Our design capabilities include 3-D modeling/printing, prototyping, and package development. We design and validate everything from corrugated shipping solutions to large industrial-scale crates and skids. From light duty to heavy duty, we’ve got you covered.

R&D

UFP Packaging and its affiliates have a long and notable history of innovation and product development, creating unique solutions. The global packaging landscape changes constantly and quickly, and we have taken the lead in offering innovative new products, services and systems, as well as improving existing ones, that add value to our customers’ business and reduce their total costs. Because we have a global footprint, we’re bringing innovative new trends to our North American customers faster. Whether it is automation, material science using new composites, or unique processes and designs, we are constantly looking and working ahead.

Testing

Underprotected products are easily damaged, costing businesses time and money, as well as damaging reputations. Overprotected products waste money and resources, creating mounds of unnecessary trash. So how do you know if you have protected your products well enough to survive transportation hazards while minimizing packing materials? Testing.

Our affiliates operate state-of-the-art, in-house testing facilities staffed by leaders in the industry. Our ISTA- and ASTM-certified testing lab in Georgia is one of the country’s largest, offering large package testing for compression, incline and impact, rotary motion and vibration for products up to 50,000 lbs. Our ISTA-certified package testing lab in Michigan is a state-of-the-art facility equipped to handle everything from large wood shipping crates and pallets to corrugated boxes and composite packaging solutions.

At both facilities, professional engineers and packaging specialists test packaged products in a simulated distribution environment to ensure they meet the right hazard standards. If your packaged product survives our simulated distribution environment, it is ready for the real world.

ISO

As part of our commitment to exceptional quality and customer service, some of our affiliates are ISO 9001 certified. The certification means these facilities can meet the necessary regulatory requirements because they have established processes that ensure effective resource management, consistent quality, efficiency, and thorough records management and analysis.

APASS

UFP Packaging is part of the Amazon Packaging Support and Supplier (APASS) network and can test, design, and supply packaging in line with Amazon’s Packaging Certification Guidelines. Our packaging engineers and technicians are specifically trained on Amazon packaging standards. We have ISTA 6-Amazon testing capabilities and can serve customers throughout North America.
