Custom Packing
The most flawlessly made part is no good to anyone if it isn’t received in good condition, or isn’t received at all. Getting a part through production is no small achievement, but it is just the first step in getting to market. Packaging that part and transporting it to its intended destination are equally critical undertakings that can often prove even more complex.
Elmira Stamping & Manufacturing has access to the resources and expertise to make sure your products are delivered on time and in perfect working condition.
At ES&M, custom packaging and logistics are part of our comprehensive service offering. These services are designed to ensure that our metal components and products are securely and efficiently packaged for shipping, and can be tracked all the way to their destination.
