Find the Auto Parts Packaging Solutions You Need to Keep Moving
If you’re an automotive parts manufacturer or distributor, you know that market changes can mean rethinking the way you do business. And that includes your packaging designs and materials.
The right packaging can help you continue to drive your business forward even during times of change. At SEE, we have a wide range of protective packaging products ideal for the needs of the auto industry, whether you need to protect fragile electronics, secure heavy engine parts, or prevent scratches on panels during transit.
Whether it goes in an IC, EV, or hybrid, different types of auto parts need different packaging solutions:
Large & Heavy
Large, unwieldy items not only need the right cushioning, most also need some type of retention to protect against damage to surfaces or edges.
Common Examples:
- Windshields
- Engine parts
- Lead/acid battery
- Wheels
- Transmissions
- Truck bed covers
- Exterior accessories
Irregular Shape
Irregular shapes are best protected by packaging that provides retention and can fully surround and cradle the entire part.
Common Examples:
- Motors/alternators
- Radiator
- Fans
- Interior molded parts
- Roof racks
- Tires
Fragile
Items that contain glass or other breakable materials need special attention to ensure the package can withstand all types of mishandling including orientation, drops, bumps, stacking, or sliding.
Common Examples:
- Head/tail lights
- Tail lights
- Side/rear mirrors
- ADAS components
- Dashboard panels and displays
- Catalytic Converter
- EV charger
Easily Scratched
Painted or coated parts have surfaces that must stay pristine during transit. Wrap or cushioning material choice is critical for these types of products.
Common Examples:
- Body panels
- Bumpers
- Interior panels
- Spoilers
- Display
Unevenly Weighted
Items that are unevenly weighted are prone to mishandling, falls, and drops especially if not shipped on a pallet, so proper cushioning is critical to this category.
Kits, Components, and Ecommerce
For hardware items that come with larger parts or when shipping soft or durable goods directly to a consumer, our automated bagging and printing systems help keep operations efficient and shipping costs down.
Common Examples:
- Hardware (nuts and bolts)
- Gaskets/belts
- Wire harnesses
- Light bulbs
- Fuses/breakers
- Spark plugs
