If
this your first awarded Government contract with military packaging, here's
what we strongly recommend you do:
-
We highly recommend you establish a packaging program at
your facility. The first step to establishing a packaging program is to
train your staff on military packaging. For extensive training or
available correspondence courses, contact the School of Military
Packaging Technology. Check out our
training web page for their contact information. During this time of acquiring training and establishing a good
quality packaging program, we recommend your company utilize a Military
Packaging House to avoid delaying contract fulfillments and/or incurring
any additional costs for non-compliance. To locate a military packaging
house, either call your local DCMA or in the near future visit our
National Database of Military Packaging Houses for a facility near you.
Remember: Preparation is the key to your success. Train to win! Don't be
the weakest link in the National Defense chain. Help us support our troops
with excellence!
The United States military is known for its
accuracy and attention to detail. The equipment they use is expensive and
extremely sensitive. As a result they demand only specifically designed,
military-grade materials to be used when packaging and protecting their
equipment.
