Dunnage

What is dunnage?

Dunnage is the material that separates, cushions, and locates parts inside a returnable rack or container so they do not shift or contact each other in transit. Foam dunnage, fabric, and formed-steel separators all do the same job: protect the part and hold it in position, trip after trip.

We build custom dunnage and reusable dunnage engineered to your part and your rack — routed foam, sewn fabric, wire dividers, or welded-steel locators. Because it is designed alongside the rack and foam inserts, the whole protective system works together as one.

Our returnable dunnage protects parts for automotive, aerospace and defense, EV and battery, and general manufacturing programs across the Southeast and Midwest.

What we build

Dunnage that matches the rack — and the part.

Foam Dunnage & Inserts

Foam dunnage inserts cut and shaped to cradle your part and absorb transit shock.

Returnable Dunnage

Durable, reusable returnable dunnage engineered for repeated trips, not one-way shipping.

Replenishment

Worn dunnage refreshed on a schedule as part of a managed program.

Why SPF

One partner for the rack and the dunnage.

Most rack shops sub out the dunnage; most dunnage shops don’t weld steel. We design the rack and the returnable dunnage as one system, under one roof — so nothing fights the part, and there’s one accountable supplier when something needs to change.

FAQ

Dunnage — answered.

What dunnage types do you offer?

Custom foam inserts and protective foam packaging, plus fabric and returnable dunnage, engineered to your part.

Reusable versus expendable dunnage?

We build durable, reusable and returnable dunnage designed to ride the loop, not one-way packaging.

Do you design dunnage to our part?

Yes. We cut and shape dunnage to your part geometry so surfaces arrive clean, trip after trip.

Can you bundle dunnage with racks?

Yes. We design the rack and the dunnage together as one system, under one roof.

What is the difference between dunnage and packaging?

Packaging contains the shipment; dunnage is what positions and cushions each part inside it. Good returnable dunnage is the difference between parts arriving intact and arriving scrapped.

Is returnable dunnage reusable?

Yes. We build durable, reusable dunnage engineered to run the full life of the returnable rack it sits in — repaired or replaced as parts wear.

Can you design dunnage for our existing racks?

Yes. Send the rack and the part, and we will design foam, fabric, or steel dunnage that drops into what you already run.

Parts arriving damaged?

Send a part or a print — we’ll design dunnage that protects it.
