Moisture Protection in Transit: Proven Solutions for Industrial Equipment
When you’re shipping industrial machinery—whether domestically or overseas—moisture isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a potential mission‑critical failure waiting to happen. That’s why Reid Packaging, now a proud member of the TransPak family, delivers moisture protection that combines decades of experience with next‑level innovation.
1. Smart Barrier Packaging for Maximum Defense
Reid offers an arsenal of moisture-blocking tools, from sealable vapor barrier bags to high-grade protective materials like foils and wraps. Each component is selected to prevent humidity, condensation, rain, salt spray, and other moisture threats from intruding. We calculate the perfect amount of desiccant for the package’s volume, seal the bag tightly—either at your site or ours—and ensure your equipment stays dry en route.
2. Time-Tested Experience You Can Trust
With over 40 years in industrial packaging, Reid Packaging brings seasoned expertise to every container. We don’t just react; we anticipate. Whether it’s anticipating container rain or humidity risks during sea or air shipment, our experience helps protect your high-value cargo from corrosion and moisture damage of all kinds.
3. Integrated Moisture Protection in Every Transit Plan
Moisture can lurk in unexpected places, like a delayed ship, a damp port, or shifting temperatures across borders. To counteract that, Reid Packaging offers built-in moisture protection as part of its all-in-one logistics offerings. This includes rigorous packaging design, testing, and specialized materials—especially critical for sensitive, long-distance shipments.
4. Tailored Packaging Solutions, Materials-Neutral Design
Our approach to packaging is flexible and intentional. We design and manufacture protective packaging (using wood, corrugated, steel, compostable foam, and other materials) using a “materials-neutral” strategy—selecting the optimal materials and designs to match the needs of each shipment and the environmental risks in every transit voyage.
5. Testing That Mimics Real-World Conditions
Packaging isn’t just about materials—it’s about performance. We put packaging through its paces in our ISTA-certified test lab using environmental chambers that simulate humidity swings, temperature challenges, and other worst-case scenarios. This ensures your cargo’s protection isn’t theoretical—it’s validated.
6. Expanded Storage Options: Climate-Controlled Facilities
Even before shipment begins, we understand that risks can start in storage. That’s why climate-controlled storage facilities play an essential role—especially when timing and multi-leg logistics could expose products to unwanted moisture. Reid Packaging and TransPak’s growing southwest operations now include temperature- and humidity-regulated storage for that added peace of mind.
