FAQs About Military Crates
The difference between Level A and Level B military packaging is the type of protection it provides. Level A is for prolonged storage or unpredictable overseas shipping, while Level B is for milder, more controlled domestic shipping. The level of packaging you need depends on your contract and shipping conditions. Your order or contract should specify the required packaging level.
Level A packaging offers the highest level of protection for the most severe conditions, such as extreme climates, extended storage and overseas deployment. It often involves overseas wood boxes, hermetically sealed containers or reusable metal or plastic containers. Its vapor-proof and waterproof barriers, corrosion inhibitors and cushioning help prevent damage in the most extreme environments.
Level B packaging offers adequate protection for short-term or moderate, less demanding conditions. It typically involves domestic wood crates, fast-pack containers, weather-resistant fiberboard or multi-wall sacks.
