DEFENSE INDUSTRY
In the defense industry, packaging is of vital importance, as improperly packaged items can not only be damaged, but can also endanger the entire mission. In this sector, products are often highly valuable and sensitive to damage, so it is crucial that the packaging provides adequate protection against impacts, shocks, weather conditions, and more. Packaging must be strong and durable while also being lightweight and compact, so it can be easily transported by users in the field. In some cases, protection against electromagnetic pulses or water resistance is even required. A good packaging solution is therefore essential to ensure that military equipment
is transported properly and arrives in excellent condition at its destination. Packaging solutions for the defense industry must be thoroughly tested before they can be deployed. Proposed packaging solutions in the defense industry undergo extensive testing such as transport simulations, tests of extreme temperatures and UV radiation, as well as physical tests such as shock tests, waterproof tests, and drop tests.

Proposed packaging solutions in the defense industry undergo extensive testing such as transport simulations, tests of extreme temperatures and UV radiation, as well as physical tests such as shock tests, waterproof tests, and drop tests.
The results of these tests determine whether the packaging solution is suitable for use in the defense industry. There are military packaging standards that describe the specific requirements for packaging military equipment and supplies. These standards include specifications for strength, durability, water and dust resistance, shock absorption, and temperatures, and are designed to ensure that packaged items arrive in the proper condition, ready for use in military operations. Some of these standards are Mil-Std-2073, Mil-Std-129, Mil-Std-10, and DEF-STAN 81-41.
