Packaging for the people who build things
What we do in this industry
Industrial equipment and manufacturing is the broadest segment we serve, spanning contract manufacturers, industrial equipment producers, and other packaging companies that build our engineered components into their own programs. We engineer custom dunnage, thermoformed inserts and components to specific applications. We are the packaging engineer’s packaging engineer: when another packaging company needs a part built right, they come to us.
Common challenges
What this industry is up against
- Application diversity. Contract manufacturers and industrial equipment producers make hundreds of different part types.
- Rapid program cycles. Industrial customers often need packaging engineered and delivered on tight timelines, sometimes in weeks, not months.
- Supplier-to-supplier fulfillment. Packaging companies serving OEMs need components engineered to their own program specifications.
- Volume flexibility. Programs range from very high volume to very low volume, sometimes on the same customer.
How PSI solves it
Our solutions
- Custom returnable packaging for closed-loop supplier-to-plant lanes.
- Expendable systems for one-way logistics and parcel programs.
- Dunnage components engineered as inputs to other packaging companies’ programs.
- Rapid onboarding. Our supplier qualification and first delivery pace with the customer’s needs.
- Turnkey program management for customers who want one call to handle containers, dunnage, and coordination.
- Multi-substrate expertise. We engineer with PE, PU, XLPE, EPP, thermoform substrates, plastic and paper corrugated.
Frequently asked questions
Do you supply other packaging companies?
Yes. A meaningful share of our business supplies custom dunnage, foam components, thermoformed inserts, and other packaging elements to other packaging companies for use in their own programs. If you are a packaging vendor needing engineered components at scale, we can support you.
How quickly can you onboard as a new supplier?
We can move as fast as the customer’s paperwork, supplier qualification, and timeline allow. Most onboardings take longer because the customer’s supplier qualification process drives the timeline.
Can you support very high volume and very low volume programs?
Yes. Our floor supports program sizes across a wide range. Volume flexibility is one of the reasons contract manufacturers and industrial OEMs work with us.
Do you work with window, door, and building product manufacturers?
Yes. Building products manufacturers face packaging challenges similar to other industrial OEMs: large-format components, cosmetic protection requirements, and cross-border logistics. Our engineering approach applies directly.
Can you support multi-substrate programs where the same customer needs different materials?
Yes. Many of our industrial customers use PSi across multiple substrates and containers depending on the program. One engineering team, one supplier relationship, multiple substrates.
