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.
Engineered Corrugated Solutions Across Markets
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.
Nelson Container engineers industry-specific corrugated solutions for every packaging challenge, safeguarding your products and optimizing your supply chain.
Our corrugated expertise drives value in your sector.
Nelson Container is built for businesses that need more than standard box sizes. We specialize in custom and specialty packaging of virtually any shape or size, including short production runs and multi-SKU orders with multiple box styles in a single shipment. Unlike large box manufacturers focused on full truckload volumes, Nelson is an ideal partner for smaller and mid-sized businesses with unique requirements and tighter timelines. As a family-owned company since day one, we prioritize responsiveness, flexibility, and hands-on service. Our triple-wall and multi-layer box options provide superior protection for high-value products such as technology, medical devices, and industrial equipment. Combined with faster lead times, Nelson delivers packaging solutions that adapt to your operation—not the other way around.

Inner Foam Packaging Protects Your Products
At Nelson Container we offer a number of protective foam packagingoptions to keep your products safe. The type of foam used in your packaging depends on what you are looking to ship. Convoluted (egg crate) is great for keeping fragile products safe during transit due to its shock absorption properties. Another common type of foam inserts is anti static foam, primarily in shipping sensitive electronic products to provide added protection while mitigating the risk of static electricity causing damage to the electrical components.
Nelson Container has the advantage of utilizing an in-house ISTA testing facility where we test your products’ packaging for weaknesses in the design. If any packaging fails any test, it’s back to the drawing board.
Other companies need a third-party ISTA tester, which requires sending the product and packaging somewhere off-site, waiting for them to have time to test it, and waiting for them to return their findings. Then, if the design fails, the process starts all over again. Design. Wait. Get feedback. Repeat. This is a time-consuming process when a company doesn’t have the ability to perform ISTA tests in-house.
