Packaging for the highest-precision components in production

Custom returnable and expendable systems for aerospace, commercial space, and defense manufacturers. Engineered for high-value, mission-critical parts.

What we do in this industry

Aerospace and defense components are high-value, high-precision, and low-margin-for-error. We engineer returnable and expendable packaging for aerospace primes, commercial space, and defense manufacturers: systems that protect precision-machined parts, control for foreign object debris (FOD), and support the traceability documentation these programs require.

Common challenges

What this industry is up against

  • Precision component protection. Machined and assembled parts are high-value and often one-off. A single damaged component can delay an entire program.
  • Foreign object debris (FOD) control. Packaging materials, dunnage, and handling are engineered to minimize FOD risk.
  • Documentation and traceability. Aerospace and defense customers require documented material provenance, and batch tracking.
  • Low-volume, high-mix programs. Development, prototype, and small-batch work dominate this segment, with fleet economics unlike high-volume commercial production.
  • Compliance-driven material selection. Aerospace and defense specifications influence what materials are acceptable in production and transit packaging.

How PSi solves it

Our Solutions

  • Custom returnable packaging engineered for high-value, precision components.
  • Precision-fit dunnage that eliminates part-to-part contact and minimizes FOD risk.
  • Documentation for programs that require material provenance and lot traceability.
  • Expendable systems and single-shipment crating for prototype and low-volume programs.
  • ESD-rated materials for sensitive electronic assemblies.
  • Turnkey program for coordinating multiple components across suppliers.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Our customer base includes aerospace primes, commercial space manufacturers, and defense component suppliers. We engineer packaging for precision components, assemblies, and specialty parts.

Yes. Aerospace and defense programs often run at lower volumes than commercial manufacturing. We engineer custom expendable systems and single-shipment crating for one-off and development-stage programs, and returnable systems where lane predictability supports the investment.

Yes. Foreign object debris (FOD) control drives material selection, dunnage geometry, and handling design in aerospace applications. We engineer around it from the start.

Yes. Sensitive electronics in aerospace and defense applications require ESD-rated materials. We engineer with ESD-rated foam, packaging substrates, and dunnage for high-value electronic assemblies.
