Custom Engineered Packaging Solutions
Not all containers are created equal. Nelson Container can create completely custom corrugated boxes for you and your clients to meet all your special requirements. Whether your products are fragile and require extra protection or are unusually shaped and need specifically sized boxes, we can make the packaging you need. We even provide protective interior inserts to keep package content from shifting during the shipping process.
We don’t only make boxes; we protect your investments. It's our job to make sure your goods are transported from business-to-business without any damage or delay. We take that job seriously, and ship out orders from our facilities at least once every day, shipping quality single-wall, double-wall, and triple-wall packaging to our business partners within 24 hours of order placement.
Inner Foam Packaging Protects Your Products
At Nelson Container we offer a number of protective foam packaging options 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.

QRM and Nelson Container Help You:
- Reduce your overhead costs
- Clear space from your warehouse
- Significantly reduce lead times in ordering
- Confidently bid on short-notice orders from valuable business clients
We’ve implemented quick response manufacturing (QRM) practices to achieve just-in-time production. These techniques allow us to be more efficient and reliable. Your boxes will reach you on time every time.
VMI
VMI is short for vendor managed inventory, which is a part of our QRM strategy. It allows us to track your inventory when it's relevant to our manufacturing process. If you produce PCBs (printed circuit boards) for MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machines, we would be able to track where those are on your production line and know when we have to have the packaging on your production floor.
That's how VMI works, and it's a critical part of why Nelson Container is the best package vendor for you. It helps make the whole supply chain more functional and ensures your clients won't have to wait on you to get the parts they need to continue their business.
ISTA Testing Facility
International Safe Transit Association protocols are put in place to help people safely and effectively transport packaged products while having as little impact on the environment as possible. Nelson Container cares about safety and the environment, so we went ahead and got our own in-house ISTA testing facility, rendering us able to do tests for—
ISTA Tests Offered:
| Series 1 | 1A | 1B | 1D | |
| Series 2 | 2A | 2B | 2C | 2D |

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.
