The U.S. Department of Defense enforces a multitude of national and international regulations on military packaging and shipping. These military packaging requirements govern the movement of hazardous materials, weapons, and controlled goods. Ensuring proper documentation, compliance with export controls, and adherence to various customs clearance procedures adds complexity to the shipping process.
Military shipments can encompass a wide range of products, from large vehicles and weaponry to medical supplies and rations. This requires various military markings, protective coverings, and packaging dimensions. BoldtSmith engineers will adapt packaging and shipment configurations to accommodate this diverse cargo and ensure safe delivery.

MIL-STD-3010 governs test procedures for packaging materials and evaluates the methods used to ensure they meet the required performance criteria under various environmental conditions. This testing encompasses tests for resistance to physical and climatic stresses, ensuring the durability and reliability of the packaging.
For military-grade lubricating oils and associated products, the MIL-1-8835 standard ensures protection and usability during storage and transportation. Specifically, we use a humidity indicator to monitor and alert the variations in level of humidity. These packing material guidelines encompass reusable containers, sealing methods, and material packaging labeling to maintain product integrity.
The MIL-STD-130 packaging standard establishes the identification marking requirements for military property, including the use of barcodes and other machine-readable information to facilitate inventory control and asset tracking. All items should be clearly and consistently labeled with pre-printed markings and item identification signs for easy identification and traceability.
This standard specifies the requirements for military marking for shipment and storage, including the placement, content, and format of labels on packages. Through this standard, all military shipments are properly identified and can be easily handled and tracked throughout the supply chain.
