Custom Solutions for Appliance and Electronics Packaging
Appliance and electronics manufacturers have a lot to account for when it comes to packaging and shipping. With parts coming into your facility, products moving throughout it, and finished goods heading out the door, there are several points where even a small hiccup can bring production to a halt and drive up costs.
We offer a variety of returnable packaging solutions designed to protect sensitive components, move parts repeatedly through your supply chain, and handle irregularly sized loads.
Bulk Plastic Containers for Electronics Packaging
Within our lineup of packaging products, bulk plastic containers are especially well suited to appliance and electronics manufacturing, where reusable packaging needs to deliver consistent performance through repeated use.
At MIC, our bulk plastic containers support these needs with benefits that include:
- Durability for Returnable Transit Packaging: Durable construction and repairable designs allow our containers to handle repeated shipping cycles, helping reduce the need for frequent replacements.
- Space-Efficiency: Our stackable and collapsible designs help free up your floor and storage space when containers aren’t in circulation.
- Forklift-Accessible Designs: Built-in forklift access supports efficient movement throughout your facility, keeping materials moving and helping avoid unnecessary production delays.
- Customizable Labeling: Customize labels, ID cards, and placards on your containers to help keep parts and packaging organized throughout your operation.
Repair Services for Bulk Plastic Containers
In an industry where reusable packaging is common, being able to extend the service life of your containers makes a significant difference in controlling costs. We offer container repairs both at our shop in Grand Rapids or onsite at your facility, depending on location and container quantity.
Our services include:
- Broken base, runner, and fork pocket repair
- Drop door and sidewall repair or replacement
- Container latch and hinge repair
- Replacement of missing or damaged handles
- Plastic dunnage repair
- And more!
Custom Wooden Crates for Protecting Appliances and Electronics
Another logistical challenge for appliance and electronics manufacturers stems from the sheer variety of parts, components, and finished goods moving through their facilities. Many of these items are oversized, fragile, high-value, or irregularly shaped, making them difficult to protect with standard packaging.
At MIC, our custom wood shipping crates can be built with a variety of protective features, allowing us to tailor each crate to your products and help protect against common sources of damage.
Crate features and solutions include:
- Built-to-spec crates for oversized, fragile, high-value, or irregularly shaped appliances, electronics, and components.
- Custom blocking, bracing, dunnage, and inserts to limit movement that can damage sensitive components.
- Vapor barriers and heat-sealed protection to help shield electronics and other moisture-sensitive products from humidity and corrosion.
- ISPM-15-certified, heat-treated crates that meet international shipping requirements and help prevent delays.
Custom Wood Pallets for Large and Heavy Products
For heavy or oversized appliances and electronics that don’t require full enclosure, we build custom pallets engineered around the weight, dimensions, and handling requirements of each load. This includes dunnage and resting supports, pallet collars, bracing and structural reinforcements, and much more.
