Offshore and marine packaging
As you are likely aware, selecting the optimum waterproof packaging for marine or offshore applications can be difficult.
Waterproof packaging can range from coated corrugated cardboard to high-performance moulded plastic cases. For marine and offshore applications, however, waterproof packaging is typically reusable, extra tough, and IP-rated (ingress protection). Most export packaging also has some element of moisture resistance to protect its contents during shipping.
At GWP, we have extensive experience working with offshore and marine businesses, supplying high-performance waterproof cases and packaging that protect tools in the harshest conditions. Understanding the challenges allows our expert design team to create bespoke solutions that provide optimum protection and can also improve efficiency, productivity, and ongoing costs.

Specialist electronics equipment or tools, plus water, are rarely a successful combination.
However, marine and offshore (oil and gas) companies face this challenge daily. What makes it even more challenging is that much of the equipment used for measurement, monitoring, or maintenance is usually very specialist and very expensive.
And as you’ll know, if you frequently use, ship, or store high-value or specialist equipment, the consequences of damage are usually not worth contemplating.
As a result, any business using tools or equipment in marine environments typically looks to protect them using waterproof packaging and particularly high-performance protective cases.
Coupled with bespoke foam inserts, waterproof cases protect their contents not only from moisture but also from shock, impact, vibration, and general mishandling.
Waterproof packaging experts
At GWP, we are proud to be a trusted and established supplier to the offshore and marine sectors.
In our 30+ years in this sector, we have worked alongside large-scale, multi-national organisations and smaller, independent companies alike. The range of waterproof cases we supply lend themselves perfectly to these industries.
However, a key benefit of GWP—unlike many of our competitors—is that being independent, we are not tied to only supplying a specific brand of case. As such, we can supply perhaps the largest range of any UK supplier, covering everything from the well-known Peli™ cases to SKB, Nanuk, Storm Case™, Hardigg™, Explorer, B&W, and even Zarges.
This range offers a greater choice in terms of performance, sizes, internal options, and budget when specifying waterproof packaging.
