Aerospace packaging
Aerospace packaging is essential for protecting high-value, specialised components throughout the aviation supply chain.
Antalis offers bespoke solutions tailored to the aerospace sector’s demanding requirements, ensuring compliance with industry standards. Whether it’s reusable packaging for supply chains, heavy-duty timber cases for oversized parts, or ESD-safe solutions for electronics - our packaging combines innovation and expertise. Backed by over 30 years of experience, JOSCAR accreditation and MPAS Certified Designers, we deliver optimal protection, precision, and efficiency.
Precision and protection
- Shock and vibration.
- Electrostatic discharge (ESD).
- Temperature and humidity control.
We use durable materials such as engineered foam, timber cases, and corrugated board to provide reliable and customised protection. These solutions undergo rigorous testing to ensure components remain intact throughout the supply chain.
High-strength, lightweight designs
Efficiency is key in aerospace packaging. Antalis specialises in solutions that provide a high strength-to-weight ratio, leveraging advanced materials such as:
- Lightweight honeycomb cardboard.
- Durable plywood and glass fibre.
- Innovative engineered foam.
These materials are often combined into composite designs, ensuring robust protection with minimal weight. This approach enhances performance while meeting the demands of the aerospace sector.
Customised to your needs
Precision is at the heart of our packaging designs. Using state-of-the-art CAD technology, Antalis creates tailored solutions for components and products of all shapes and sizes. Our Smart Packaging Centre also offers MPAS Certified Designs, created by Military Packaging Accreditation Scheme approved designers.
Materials such as Correx®, timber, and engineered foam are selected and optimised to provide the best possible level of protection. Our tailored designs ensure your components arrive safely while meeting all required industry standards.
Testing and compliance
At Antalis, we understand the importance of adhering to strict aerospace regulations. Our packaging is comprehensively tested to ensure it performs under real-world conditions, such as extreme vibration or climate exposure. Compliance with recognised standards like ISTA guarantees that our packaging aligns seamlessly with industry expectations.
Sustainability
Sustainability is a core focus at Antalis. We integrate environmentally conscious practices and materials into our aerospace packaging, offering solutions that are both durable and sustainable. From lightweight, recyclable corrugated cardboard to reusable systems, our designs help to reduce waste and support aerospace businesses in achieving their environmental goals - all while maintaining rigorous performance standards.
As part of our Smart Packaging Services, we offer a comprehensive packaging lifecycle analysis, utilising globally recognised and independently verified data to help you understand your current carbon footprint. Our carbon calculator tool assesses your existing packaging and models alternative solutions, highlighting areas for improvement. These detailed carbon reports provide insights into the real-life environmental impact of your packaging choices, empowering you to make informed decisions and communicate positive environmental messaging through your marketing efforts.
Antalis combines precision engineering, sustainability, and compliance to offer packaging solutions that are uniquely designed for the aerospace industry. Whether you need protection for fragile electronics, oversized components, or hazardous goods - we provide the expertise and tailored designs to meet your needs.

Popular questions
Aerospace packaging ensures fragile components are safeguarded during transportation with materials and designs that prevent shock, vibration, and surface damage. Antalis offers bespoke solutions, tested for strength and reliability. Through our Smart Consult process, we work closely with customers to assess their specific needs and create optimised packaging designs, ensuring maximum protection without over-engineering. From engineered foam inserts to timber cases, we ensure fragile parts arrive in perfect condition.
Aerospace packaging must meet stringent industry standards to ensure compliance and product safety. These include ASA (Aviation Supplies & Academics) for aviation requirements, Mil-Spec for military-grade packaging, and additional standards such as ATA300 and Rolls-Royce A59100. At Antalis, our packaging supplies are designed to meet or exceed these regulations. Whether protecting hazardous goods or precision parts, we can offer a range of testing services to ensure you are compliant.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) poses a significant risk for sensitive aviation electronics, including communication systems and onboard instruments. If not protected, static can damage or destroy components. At Antalis, we offer protective packaging solutions specifically designed to combat ESD. This includes ESD-safe materials, conductive foams, and specialised wraps that shield items from static damage during storage, handling, and transit, safeguarding high-value electronics.
