What is Packaging for Military Defense and Aerospace?
The packaging of military defense and aerospace equipment must offer high-level protection for the items they carry. Due to the nature and expense of these products, the level of protection needs to be high so that there is no climatic damage during transport or storage. If you are planning on shipping a high priced item, wouldn’t you want it to arrive safe and in optimal condition?
Here at 3D Barrier Bags, we offer customized corrosion protection packaging for military defense and aerospace products during transport and storage. We have three different materials that are approved by the US Naval Labs Qualified Products Database (QPD) for Mil-PRF-131 Class 1. Our aluminum foil barrier bags can be supplied as continuous rolls or 3D and 2D bags, dependent on your requirement, with no size limitations.
Meeting Mil-Spec Requirements
When products require protection from moisture and oxygen ingress, or any other corrosion causing elements, the military and aerospace companies turn to aluminum foil barrier bags commonly used in the packaging specification Mil-DLT-117. This is the specification the government uses when it determines that an item it needs must be shipped to them in a bag. The Material these bags are manufactured from must be water vapor proof, greaseproof, flexible and heat-sealable, as well as pass the government’s testing requirements.
These bags must not only pass tests put forth by the military, they also must contain certain information printed on the bags. This information includes:
- The specification number & revision letter type
- Class & Style
- Bag’s manufacturer and bag designation
- Month and year of the bag’s fabrication
Why is this information important?
This information is required because it offers traceability and accountability. If there is anything wrong with the material or the bag, it can be traced back to where the bag was made and even when it was made.
Practical Packaging for Military Defense and Aerospace
3D Barrier Bags Inc has more than thirty years of experience in the defense and aerospace markets. We specialize in custom-fit, high barrier liners and bags, so no matter the industry, you know that your products will be protected.
Military
Due to the above specifications, 3d barrier bags are flexible, durable and provide high-quality protection from oxygen and moisture ingress. These bags are used for packaging missiles, explosives, microcircuits, power and electro-sensitive devices, semiconductors, thin-film resistors, and airborne components. Specific sizing and shaping of the bags ensure that the sealing of the open ends is both speedy and efficient. Using an Industrial Heat Sealer to close the bags also ensures that the package is hermetically sealed, producing a completely controlled environment.
Aerospace
Within the aerospace industry, 3d barrier bags can be used to package complete aircraft. The requirements for packaging that preserves engines, equipment, and spare parts, must ensure protection for these vital components. Barrier foil laminates eliminate risks of vapor damage and Oxygen ingress to provide a complete climatic packaging solution. Available in standard and heavy-duty material grades to meet the requirements of MIL-PRF-131 Class 1, our packaging solutions ensure that whatever the size of your product, package integrity is taken care of. We can also offer static dissipative foil laminates when required.
