Automotive Packaging Solutions
Tier-1 supply runs to the assembly line, not to a warehouse. Packaging that arrives crushed does not just cost a part - it stops a shift.

01The problem, specifically
Where the damage actually happens
An automotive tier-1 despatch is dense, heavy and strapped hard. The damage almost never happens to the part; it happens at the top carton edge where the strap bites, and at the pallet corner where the forklift clips it. By the time it is found on the receiving dock, the line is already waiting.
Strap tension crushes the top layer
Heavy component cartons need high strap tension to stay a unit load. Without a board spreading that tension along the edge, the strap cuts into the top carton and the parts underneath take the compression.
JIT windows leave no room for a re-despatch
A damaged consignment on a just-in-time schedule cannot simply be sent again next week. The cost of the packaging failure is line downtime, not the price of the carton.
Returnable loops need packaging that survives handling
Where the same pallet cycles between supplier and OEM, single-trip protection is money burned every leg.
OEM specifications have to be met on paper
Tier-1 buyers are audited. "Good quality board" is not an answer; a GSM, a ply count and a thickness in writing is.
02What we supply
The build that works here
On dense component loads the usual specification is a 5 to 8 mm board in the 75x75 mm or 100x100 mm leg size, run the full stack height on all four corners, with PET strap over it. Where the OEM wants a documented material, our published GSM, ply and thickness range goes straight into your packaging standard. For plants that export sub-assemblies, a paper pallet removes the ISPM-15 treatment step from the despatch process entirely.
Edge protection
Paper Angle Board
Paper angle board is an L-profile kraft board that takes the compression load off your pallet corners. 3-12 ply, 30x30 mm to 100x100 mm,…

L Shape Edge Protector
An L shape edge protector is the standard 90-degree profile - two equal legs that sit on a pallet corner and carry the strap.…

03Compliance
What applies here, and what does not
Most OEM packaging standards specify material, dimension and load, not brand. Our spec table is written to be pasted into that document. Where a returnable loop is in use, tell us the number of cycles expected and we will specify for it rather than for a single trip.
04Where this sector sits
Gurugram & Manesar and the surrounding belt
The Manesar, Bawal and Faridabad belts are where most of this work sits. IMT Manesar in particular runs to OEM delivery windows, which is why a confirmed 2-3 day lead time matters more than a marginal price difference.
Gurugram & Manesar is 53 km from our plant by road — about 1 hr in clear traffic.

05Questions buyers ask
Questions from automotive buyers
Yes, if you send us the specification. Most give a material class, a minimum thickness and a load requirement. Our range covers 3 to 12 ply in 230 to 450 GSM at 2.5 to 8 mm, which covers the large majority of tier-1 corner-protection specs.
That is the normal arrangement for automotive supply. Agree a monthly quantity and a call-off pattern and we hold production to it.
2-3 working days on standard sizes. Once a specification is established, repeats do not need re-quoting.
Yes. The relevant point for export is that paper pallets and paper angle board are outside ISPM-15, so there is no heat treatment or fumigation step and no IPPC mark to maintain.
Tell us what you ship, not just what you need
The specification comes out of the load: what is on the pallet, how high it stacks, how hard it is strapped and where it goes. Give us those and the quote comes back with a spec on it.
