Preparing goods for shipment is an essential part of any manufacturing facility and a concern to anyone whose products move from place to place. The U.S. government purchases vast quantities of material every day and wants to assure that it receives it’s orders in good condition. So packaging specifications have been a top priority, with industry using the government generated documentation on a regular basis. Now two well-used packaging specifications have been revised and the new editions are available from Document Center Inc. in both paper and pdf format.
The first is PPP-C-1120, “Cushioning Material, Uncompressed Bound Fiber for Packaging,” which has just been updated to Revision D. This 10-page new issue reactivates the Federal Specification, meaning that it can now be used for both new and existing designs and purchases. It covers uncompressed, water resistant, fibrous cushioning materials in rolls, flat sheets, and molded forms for packaging applications. Changes to PPP-C-1120D are extensive.
Commercial Item Description A-A-1898, “Cushioning Material, Cellulosic, Packaging,” has also been up-rev-ed to Revision D. This Federal document covers cushioning material in roll and multifold unit forms used for packing applications.
If you’re involved in packing, crating, and shipping, you need to be aware of these documents. They are essential for government contract work and widely used for other applications as well.
