Lithium Battery Packaging Built for Safe, Secure Transportation
Protect lithium-ion batteries and high-value battery systems from shock, vibration, movement, and handling damage with custom packaging engineered around your product.
FCA Packaging designs custom boxes, skids, foam protection, and export-ready solutions for secure domestic and international battery shipments.
Custom Lithium Battery Packaging for Industrial Applications
Lithium battery systems can vary significantly in size, weight, shape, and sensitivity. A packaging solution that works for a small battery module may not be suitable for a large battery pack or industrial energy-storage system.
FCA Packaging develops custom packaging solutions around the actual product and its shipping environment.
Packaging Lithium-Ion Batteries Around Their Specific Risks
Lithium-ion batteries can be sensitive to physical damage and transportation conditions. Movement inside a package can expose components to repeated impacts and vibration, while inadequate support can allow heavy assemblies to shift during handling.
A properly engineered package addresses these risks before the product leaves your facility.
Shock and Impact Protection
Drops, impacts, forklift handling, and other transportation events can place significant loads on battery assemblies.
Custom blocking, bracing, cushioning, and structural packaging components help keep the product positioned and protected inside the package.
Vibration Control
Long-distance transportation can expose batteries to continuous vibration from trucks, rail, air freight, or other transportation methods.
Packaging can be engineered to reduce unnecessary movement and isolate sensitive components from transportation vibration.
Movement and Load Control
Heavy battery assemblies need adequate support to prevent shifting inside the package.
Custom supports and restraints can distribute loads and hold the product securely during transit without creating unnecessary pressure points.
Moisture and Environmental Protection
Depending on the transportation route and application, additional protection may be needed against moisture and environmental exposure.
Packaging configurations can incorporate appropriate barriers and protective materials based on the shipping requirements.
Custom Boxes and Skids for Battery Systems
Large lithium battery assemblies often require more than a standard shipping container.
FCA Packaging manufactures custom wood boxes, skids, pallets, and other industrial packaging solutions designed around the dimensions and weight of your equipment.
01
Custom Wood Boxes
Heavy-duty boxes provide a rigid outer structure around high-value battery equipment. Internal supports can be positioned around the product to help control movement and protect vulnerable areas.
02
Heavy-Duty Skids
Skid-based packaging can provide a stable foundation for large or heavy battery assemblies while maintaining access for forklifts and other material-handling equipment.
03
Custom Pallets
For products that require palletized transportation, custom pallets can be designed around the battery’s footprint, weight distribution, and handling requirements.
04
Internal Protection
Foam, cushioning, blocking, bracing, and other protective components can be incorporated into the package to secure the battery and reduce movement during transportation.
05
Metal Container
For heavy duty batteries or those that are considered damaged, a metal container may be required for safe shipment.
Packaging Designed Around Your Battery Configuration
Every battery system presents different packaging challenges.
Instead of forcing the product into a standard container, FCA Packaging can develop a solution through custom packaging design based on the actual product geometry and transportation requirements.
Our design process considers factors such as:
This product-specific approach helps create packaging that is easier to handle while providing the protection required for transportation.
Packaging Lithium Batteries for Shipment
Shipping requirements can vary depending on the battery type, configuration, destination, transportation mode, and applicable regulations.
FCA Packaging focuses on the physical packaging and protection of the product, working with customers to understand the requirements associated with their shipment.
For lithium battery shipments, packaging considerations may include:
Your shipping team remains responsible for determining and complying with applicable dangerous-goods and transportation regulations for the specific battery being shipped.
FCA Packaging can help develop the physical packaging solution around those requirements.
International Lithium Battery Shipping
Packaging performance matters when the equipment inside is worth significantly more than the box around it.
FCA operates an ISTA-certified laboratory and provides testing capabilities including:
Protect High-Value Battery Equipment During Transportation
Damage to a battery system can result in more than the cost of replacing the product.
Transportation damage can lead to:
Engineering Process for Lithium Battery Packaging
A successful packaging solution starts with understanding the product.
Application Review
We begin by understanding your battery system, shipping requirements, handling process, and packaging objectives.
Product & Transportation Assessment
Our team considers product dimensions, weight, configuration, center of gravity, transportation method, and potential handling risks.
Packaging Design
Packaging components are developed around the product, including the outer structure and internal protection.
Prototype Development
When appropriate, prototype packaging can be developed to evaluate fit, accessibility, handling, and overall package configuration.
Testing & Validation
Packaging can be evaluated based on the transportation environment and customer requirements to identify potential weaknesses before production shipments.
Production Packaging
Once the design is finalized, FCA Packaging manufactures the packaging solution for ongoing shipments.
