PRODUCTS

1. Wood Crates:Lamar Packaging Systems specializes in crafting custom wood crates designed to meet specific product and shipping requirements, ensuring optimal protection during transit. They create both domestic and export crates, incorporating custom interior dunnage to safeguard products and ensure they arrive undamaged. All crates are heat-treated and compliant with IPPC standard ISPM 15 for export. Utilizing materials such as plywood, dimensional lumber, and oriented strand board (OSB), Lamar Packaging Systems selects wood thickness based on the product's weight, storage conditions, and shipping criteria. Their design team collaborates with clients to develop the most effective packaging solutions, and the interior dunnage options—including polyethylene, urethane, and polypropylene foams—are tailored to provide cushioning, abrasion resistance, and overall protection based on the specific needs of the product.
2. EPP Molded Foam: EPP molded foam packaging is a lightweight and durable solution designed to provide exceptional protection for products during transport and storage. It starts as small foam beads that are expanded using heat and pressure in a mold, resulting in a foam structure that conforms precisely to a product's contours. This foam can be molded into inserts, trays, end caps, liners, or even entire foam boxes, offering a custom fit for unique products. EPP foam excels in shock absorption, cushioning items from impacts, drops, and vibrations, while its lightweight nature helps reduce shipping costs and ease handling. Its ability to conform to odd shapes ensures secure cradling of irregularly shaped items. Additionally, EPP foam features a smooth, Class A surface that protects delicate finishes and sensitive surfaces. Cost-effective for mid to high volume production, EPP foam's tooling and setup costs are distributed over the production run. The material is also recyclable and made from polypropylene plastic, which has high reuse potential and is free from harmful CFCs or VOCs. For those needing to transport fragile or sensitive products, EPP molded foam offers an ideal packaging solution.
3. Steel Shipping Racks: Lamar Packaging Systems specializes in designing, prototyping, and manufacturing custom steel shipping racks tailored to the automotive, truck, RV, recreational, and solar industries. They offer a comprehensive service from design through to production, including both steel fabrication and interior dunnage solutions. Their steel shipping containers encompass returnable custom racks, mobile WIP racks, and carts and dollies for handling multiple parts. Utilizing SolidWorks and AutoCAD, Lamar Packaging Systems can create designs based on provided math data or physical parts. Their design focus ensures protection during handling and shipping, optimal part quantity per rack, ergonomic loading and unloading, cost efficiency, and effective use of trailer or sea container space. The dunnage options for their racks include various foams and vacuum-formed trays, vinyl pouches, and other materials, reflecting their commitment to detail, quality, and functionality.
4. Injection Molded Totes: Lamar Packaging Systems excels in designing and manufacturing custom injection molded totes and bulk bins, focusing on optimal product protection and efficient packaging. They offer tailored dunnage solutions, including plastic corrugated packaging, foam options like EPP, EPE, and XLPE, and shaped dunnage through wire-cut, die-cut, or molded methods. Their totes, available in various sizes that fit standard pallets, are designed to enhance trailer cubing and facilitate easy handling. The selection of dunnage materials is based on product characteristics and protective needs, with options ranging from plastic corrugated partitions for robust items to specialized foam for fragile or sensitive products.
