Automotive Packaging

FIRST-CLASS AUTOMOTIVE PACKAGING

The Pratt Automotive Packaging Group designs and manufactures packaging solutions for OEM assembly factories and a complex and vast network of tier 1/2/3 suppliers that manufacture parts and materials for the automotive supply chain. Utilizing our extensive network of sheet plants, strategically located across the United States, Pratt Industries offers a variety of custom packaging solutions to meet the needs of the automotive packaging segment. Corrugated packaging is a primary solution for expendable packaging in the automotive industry because our products are sustainable, recyclable, durable, versatile, lightweight, customizable, protective and cost-effective.

Our dedicated teams of sales people and packaging engineers have the expertise, capabilities, and resources to handle even the most complex packaging needs. Utilizing our two ISTA/TAPPI-certified labs as well as Pratt’s Center for Automotive Resources (P-CAR), we can ensure that our cost-effective packaging will meet the need for critical part protection throughout the automotive supply chain.
