Crating Technology

Partnering in Unmatched MIL-SPEC Packaging Solutions

When it comes to military and government shipments, precision isn’t just important—it’s critical. MIL-SPEC packaging demands an unwavering attention to detail, compliance with stringent regulations, and a deep understanding of preservation techniques. That’s where the powerhouse collaboration between Crating Technology and MAC Packaging comes in.

Since 1999, Crating Technology has specialized in custom crating solutions for high-value and sensitive materials. Meanwhile, MAC Packaging, founded in 1976 by industry leader Andy Munter, has grown from a local Arizona company into a nationally recognized authority on MIL-SPEC packaging and shipping. Together, we combine nearly 65 years of combined experience to provide impeccable, regulation-compliant, and efficient packaging solutions for military and government clients nationwide.

1. Meeting MIL-SPEC Requirements: No Room for Error

Military and government contracts are not just about shipping products—they’re about shipping life-critical equipment, mission-essential technology, and highly sensitive materials. And when it comes to MIL-SPEC regulations, there is zero room for error.

  • MAC Packaging’s Expertise: Since its inception, MAC Packaging has built a reputation as the go-to expert for MIL-SPEC packaging. Founder Andy Munter’s hands-on experience with government contracts, combined with his meticulous attention to detail, makes the company a leader in packaging design, preservation techniques, and military shipping standards. They ensure every package is properly designed and prepared according to the Department of Defense (DOD) and other federal guidelines.
  • Crating Technology’s Military-Spec Crates: Crating Technology has extensive experience in building Mil-Spec crates, custom-designed to safeguard everything from military hardware to aerospace equipment. Our durable, compliant crates protect cargo from shocks, vibrations, and extreme environmental conditions during transport, ensuring safe arrival at destinations around the world.  

 

Together, we ensure that your military and government shipments are not only secure but also in full compliance with every regulatory detail—saving you the headaches that come with non-compliance.

2. CUSTOM PACKAGING AND PRESERVATION FOR CRITICAL SHIPMENTS

For military and government clients, it’s not just about getting the packaging right—it’s about ensuring that equipment and materials are preserved and protected for the long haul. When shipping highly sensitive electronics, weapons systems, or classified technology, long-term preservation is paramount.

  • MAC Packaging’s Preservation Techniques: MAC Packaging goes above and beyond with their expert knowledge of preservation techniques. Whether it’s applying corrosion-prevention measureshumidity control, or vacuum-sealed packaging, they make sure that whatever is inside their MIL-SPEC packaging stays in perfect condition—even through long storage periods or challenging environments.
  • Crating Technology’s Reinforced Crates: We partner with MAC Packaging to provide heavy-duty reinforced crates that ensure no amount of rough handling or exposure to the elements will compromise the integrity of the shipment. From advanced humidity control to high-impact resistance, our crates work in tandem with MAC’s packaging to deliver bulletproof (sometimes literally!) solutions.

 

When you’re dealing with assets that are mission-critical, we make sure that “long-term storage” doesn’t mean long-term risk.

3. EFFICIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE: MORE THAN JUST COMPLIANCE

Compliance with MIL-SPEC requirements is mandatory, but efficiency and cost-effectiveness are the extra mile we go for our clients. MAC Packaging and Crating Technology don’t just meet regulations—we optimize your shipping and packaging processes to save time and money, while also maintaining the highest standards.

From packaging design to preservation consulting, they ensure that you don’t waste time or resources.
  • Crating Technology’s Reusable Solutions: We understand that many military shipments are repeat processes. That’s why we offer reusable crating solutions, reducing waste and saving costs over the long term. Our reusable MIL-SPEC crates offer durable, long-lasting protection for clients who ship regularly—ensuring that the investment in packaging continues to pay off.
