100% Recyclable Materials Used
Both our business and business models are 100% sustainable since both are based on efficiency. Our entire industry is based on recyclable materials, but so many companies are wasting time and space in their manufacturing process.
We employquick response manufacturing (QRM)techniques, which add to the principles of just-in-time (JIT) and lean manufacturing, to achieve production exactly when you need it. No sooner. And definitely no later.
This technique helps to make Nelson Container as efficient as possible and reduce costs for the entire supply chain. You can recycle corrugated board, but time lost is time wasted.
At Nelson Container, we engineer custom corrugated solutions for every industry. From fragile electronics to heavy machinery, our packaging experts craft precision designs using single, double or triple wall construction with tailored fluting. Our in-house ISTA-certified lab rigorously tests each solution, subjecting prototypes to vibration, impact, drop and atmospheric conditioning trials. We use CAD technology and rapid prototyping to perfect designs quickly. Our flexible manufacturing cells are adaptable, providing same-day production and multiple daily deliveries.

We specialize in developing and manufacturing custom packaging in the shortest time possible. Dynamic, high-value items are what we do best. Our engineers take every aspect of your product into consideration when designing its packaging—center of gravity, edges and points, weight, and dimensions, just to name a few.
After the corrugated carton, this is the most important consideration for intact product delivery. Thefoam insertsin a package stop an item from tilting, tipping, shaking, and rattling; theykeep an item stationary inside its packaging. While in transport, movement and road imperfections vibrate packages. Foam inserts keep the items inside of those packages from changing their center of gravity. They also keep edges and points of items from tearing through packaging, allowing the shell to maintain its protective quality. We are able to test for how a package will perform in these conditions without ever leaving our building. A big thanks toin-house ISTA testing—1A,1B,1D,2A, and2B—for that one. Nelson Container makes sure your packages are built to withstand any conditions that may possibly be thrown at it while in transit.
Nelson Container’s plant is in Germantown. The close proximity of Nelson Container to you, a possible business partner, is a major benefit. With less space between you and us, there’s proportionally less risk of anything deterring you from reaching your business goals.

Difference Between
Corrugated Packaging and Cardboard Boxes
"Cardboard" is used to refer to any kind of flat paper packaging. Most of the time people say cardboard when they mean corrugated. Corrugated can be identified by the unique "fluting" between flat layers which gives the packaging slightly more volume while offering much more support. You're probably looking for corrugated, not cardboard. Corrugated packaging solutions from Nelson Container are trusted by the food service, medical, industrial, plastic, and electronic industries.
