EXPENDABLE PACKAGING

Bank Builds — Custom Crating Solutions for Challenging Times

Custom crating and packaging solutions built to respond to shifting logistics, regulatory change, and one-off or limited-run shipments.

Overview

“Bank Builds” refers to custom crating and packaging solutions — often used when companies face shifting logistical constraints, regulatory changes (e.g. tariffs), or a need to retool their packaging strategies to protect delicate or high-value goods. At Lamar Packaging Systems, we offer Bank Builds as part of our expendable packaging suite to help clients stay compliant, efficient, and protected no matter the challenge.

Why Bank Builds?

Custom-tailored solutions — whether you’re shipping complex assemblies, oversized items, or parts requiring special handling, Bank Builds provide a packaging design built around your product and supply-chain needs.
Responsive to changing conditions — if tariffs, international regulations, or changes in shipping protocols impact your business, a Bank Build helps you adapt quickly.
One-time or limited-run packaging — Bank Builds shine when you need expendable packaging designed for a specific run, a special shipment, or a new product, without committing to reusable containers.
