Nuclear industry
Custom cases, crates and foam for nuclear industry equipment.
We design packaging for instruments, sensors, machinery and precision components used by nuclear-industry companies. Cases, custom foam and crates support equipment during shipping, storage and repeated movement between facilities. We do not package radioactive material.

Packaging options
Choose packaging for the equipment and its journey.
Portable test instruments, complete maintenance kits and large machines need different packaging. We supply cases and foam nationwide, and wood crates throughout the eastern United States.
Injection molded cases
For portable sensors, monitoring devices and calibration equipment, we help choose a case and design the interior. Brands include Pelican, SKB, NANUK and Condition 1. Order the case alone or with custom foam.

Custom foam inserts
Fitted pockets hold components and accessories in their intended places. We design inserts for new cases, crates and boxes, or packaging you already own. Foam-only orders are available.

Wood crates
For machinery, large detection systems and bulky assemblies, we design the base, supports and enclosure around the load. The crate can include access features for loading and unpacking the equipment.

ATA cases
For equipment moving repeatedly between facilities or field sites, we build cases in custom sizes. Trays, shelves, removable covers and wheels can make inspection and maintenance equipment easier to reach and move.
Explore ATA casesInstruments and precision components
Support the equipment without pressing on delicate parts.
An instrument may have surfaces that can carry weight and others that need to remain clear. We design the foam around those differences and how the equipment will be packed and handled.
Leave sensitive features clear
We leave relief around fittings, bolt heads, probes and other protruding parts while supporting suitable surfaces. Tell us where the equipment can touch the foam and where contact is restricted.
Allow for bags and removal access
If equipment is sealed in a protective bag before packing, the pocket needs to allow for the bag as well as the part. Hand openings and separate accessory pockets help users remove equipment and return items to their places.
Choose materials for the job
We offer polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PU) and cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) in different densities and colors. All foam is cut using a CNC router or waterjet. The method is selected based on the foam type and pocket features. Anti-static foam options are available to meet any electrostatic discharge requirements.
Larger equipment
Plan support, loading and crating at your facility.
Large assemblies need supports that account for their weight and shape. We review where the load can rest, how it will be lifted and what access is available at each end of the journey.
Secure the load and provide access
Blocking, bracing and restraints can hold equipment at suitable support points. Removable walls, ramps and forklift access can be included where useful. Tell us how the equipment will enter the crate and be removed at its destination.
Account for moisture during shipping and storage
Waterproof barrier bagging and desiccant, which absorbs moisture, can be included when the equipment and journey call for it. We review the shipping conditions and storage period before choosing the packing materials.
Arrange on-site crating
When equipment is difficult to move, we can review crating it at your facility. We check the location, working space, access and packing work before arranging a visit.

Project examples
Cases for nuclear components and testing instruments.
Nuclear-defense components
From foam prototypes to repeat production.
For two sensitive assemblies, we developed foam interiors for SKB 2015-10 cases. Relief openings and bag clearances addressed protruding features and packing needs. CNC-routed foam prototypes came before waterjet-cut production inserts. We also supplied internal foam lining for 38 shipping crates that the customer had sourced elsewhere.

Power-plant testing and maintenance
Different layouts for field and laboratory instruments.
We designed five case styles for a customer that tests, maintains and monitors nuclear power-plant equipment. The illustrated case uses XLPE foam to organize 14 measurement components. A separate heavy diagnostic instrument had its own case with soft PU foam around it. Each layout matched a different equipment group.

Review the design before we build.
Design assistance and quotes are free, with no requirement to purchase. Our in-house team prepares the packaging layout and works through changes with you.
Provide the equipment details
Provide dimensions, drawings, 3D models or photos, plus the equipment and accessory list, weight, quantity and required date. Tell us how it will be shipped and whether the equipment design is still changing. Arrange approved transfer before sharing controlled information.
Review the layout and quote
We recommend the case, foam or crate design and provide views for your review. Check fit, access, materials and what is included in the quote. We help determine whether a physical prototype is needed.
Approve the design for production
After any required prototype review and your approval, we build the packaging and arrange delivery. We retain approved designs and production files for repeat orders.
Frequently asked questions
Nuclear equipment packaging questions
Practical details for design, specifications and repeat orders.
No. We do not package radioactive materials. We design cases, foam inserts and crates for nonradioactive instruments, components and machinery used in the nuclear industry.
