Automotive Packaging Solutions UK

The best packaging needs to do more than just protect against visible damage. Our packaging solutions are manufactured to prevent movement during transit, protect finished surfaces, maintain consistent pack quantities and simplify loading and unloading.

Not just that but we offer solutions that consider returnable packaging requirements, export regulations and the balance between costs. By assessing how your products move through manufacturing, storage and transport, we’re able to recommend a solution that suits your operational requirements.

Bespoke Automotive Packaging Solutions

Every packaging solution we design is created around the product’s dimensions, weight, fragility and transport method.

Timber Cases and Automotive Export Crates

Timber cases and export crates are ideal for heavy, valuable or unusually shaped components and are commonly used for engines, gearboxes, tooling and specialist assemblies. Internal blocking, bracing and robust support help minimise movement during handling.

Plywood Cases

In circumstances where an enclosed package is required but the weight of a fully timber-built case, plywood is an effective choice. Suitable for road, sea and air freight, they can be made to suit a range of automotive parts.

Bespoke Pallets and Bases

Designed around the product, purpose-built pallets and machinery bases provide support for heavy and non-standard components. We are also able to incorporate forklift access, mounting points and integration with these solutions as well as protective outer packaging.

Heavy-duty Corrugated Packaging

Heavy-duty corrugated packaging is suitable for smaller automotive parts and can be combined with pallet boxes, layer pads, die-cut separators and protective inserts that help prevent contact between parts during transport.

A-frames and Stillages

For windscreens, automotive glass and other sheet material, bespoke a-frames and stillages provide secure storage and transport in an upright position.

Wrapping, Strapping and Load Containment

Wrap and strapping, correctly applied, is an essential part of the overall packaging and helps to stabilise loads through handling, storage and distribution.

Protecting High-Value Automotive Components

Instead of choosing from a standard range of automotive parts packaging solutions, we craft bespoke packaging for automotive manufacturers following an assessment of your product and its journey.

Our team carefully considers product weight, centre of gravity, vulnerable surfaces, restraint points, shock and vibration risks, moisture exposure, stacking restrictions, lifting methods, transport mode and the expected frequency of reuse.

Automotive Export Packaging

Shipments intended for export require additional protection. At PEC Packaging, we offer ISPM 15-compliant timber packaging for road, sea and air freight. This includes bespoke crates and cases as well as support with commercial documentation and freight-forwarding coordination.

Our team can also arrange packing at our Liverpool facility or on-site for suitable projects.

Flexible Packing and Logistics Support

At PEC Packaging, we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all approach. Different businesses require different levels of support which is why we offer packaging for your own teams to use or we can package up products at our own facility before forwarding them for distribution.

Temporary warehousing and coordinated freight collection can also be arranged. This helps to reduce unnecessary handovers and simplify project management.
