Military, Defence & Munitions Packaging Solutions 

Precision Protection for Critical Defence Assets 

In the defence sector, protecting sensitive equipment and munitions during storage and transit is absolutely vital. These assets are often delicate, valuable, and sometimes even hazardous, so they need packaging that meets the highest standards of security and durability. At Rowlinson Packaging Ltd, we understand these challenges and provide custom timber packaging solutions designed specifically for the demanding requirements of military logistics. With over 50 years of experience in timber packaging, we ensure your defence equipment arrives safely, securely, and on time. 

Tailored Packaging Engineered for Military Equipment 

Every piece of military equipment is unique, whether it’s advanced electronics, weaponry, or munitions. This means a one size fits all approach simply won’t work when it comes to packaging. That’s why we use the latest SolidWorks® CAD software to design and engineer packaging solutions that are custom made to fit each item precisely.

This bespoke design process minimises any movement inside the packaging, reducing the risk of damage caused by shocks or vibrations during transport.  By creating packaging that matches the exact shape and size of your equipment, we provide maximum protection while optimising material use, which can also reduce weight and shipping costs.

Flight Cases Built for Tough Conditions 

For military equipment requiring extra security and protection, our Flight Cases offer a rugged and reliable solution. Made from high quality plywood and reinforced with steel or aluminium edging, these cases are designed to withstand the rough handling that can occur during military transport and deployment. 

Inside, each Flight Case can be fitted with custom foam padding shaped specifically to cradle your equipment safely. This tailored interior not only cushions sensitive instruments but also keeps them firmly in place, preventing any accidental bumps or drops. 

Shock Pallets to Absorb Vibration and Impact 

Military equipment, especially delicate instruments and munitions, is vulnerable to the shocks and vibrations that can happen during transportation, whether by road, rail, sea, or air. To protect these sensitive items, we offer Shock Pallets that feature high density, shock absorbing foam placed between the deck and the bottom runners. This clever design helps dissipate energy and reduces the impact forces transmitted to the equipment. 

These pallets are essential when moving vibration sensitive components, ensuring that your assets arrive in perfect condition, ready for use.
