Whether your shipping needs are domestic or international, we have the comprehensive solutions you’re looking for. Our specialists are well-versed in catering to the fragility and sensitivity of electronics shipping, understanding that bare metal surfaces need more protection through travel by sea. Saltwater and its vapor jeopardize the integrity of these electronic components and other assets with metal surfaces. When not properly packaged, corrosion can harm the item’s function, destroying its ability to work as it should.
Our Cincinnati shipping company is comprised of packaging and crating professionals who only use the highest quality solutions, inclusive of moisture vapor-proof materials for a conscientious, reliable shipment and a damage-free arrival. We ensure your assets are packaged for the utmost in protection.
Prior to heat-sealing its seams, we start by placing your sensitive item in a vapor barrier bag with an activated desiccant. Taking this action lowers the humidity levels inside the barrier bag. We then use a vacuum to reduce the air volume inside the bag before its final seal.
These steps are essential for safety through the unpredictable and sometimes dangerous shipping stream. You can depend on our shipping experts to provide solutions intended for your unique item alone. Considering your goals, your assets, and the destination country’s restrictions, feel confident that we are the most effective and efficient shipping company in Cincinnati.
Humidity Control for Government Shipments
There are a variety of barrier materials that the government uses to protect its assets, the most commonly used is MIL-PRF-131. The desiccant used is activated clay conforming to MIL-D-3464.
In order to ascertain humidity levels inside the container, we will place a humidity indicator card in the barrier bag. This allows you to know the condition of the asset and the desiccant when the bag is opened. We can also provide a humidity indicator that will enable you to verify the humidity inside the bag without it being opened through a plug that projects through the barrier material.
We value the sensitive nature of your government shipments and know that a safe and timely shipment is crucial. Our packaging and crating solutions garner the highest level of security, and our team is skilled at creating packaging schemes that the government and military industry can count on. Let our comprehensive shipping solutions and dedicated specialists put you at ease.
