Detailed description

More info on ammo boxes

Ammo boxes, as the name would suggest, are suitable for storing a range of ammunition and other explosives.

Manufactured using a durable metal construction, ammo tins are lightweight and robust. They also offer excellent longevity. Coupled with fold-in handles and a secure lid catch, ammo boxes are also easy to use and handle.

Their construction also makes ammo boxes resistant to water, particularly being splashed and from rainfall.

Ammo boxes are available in various sizes to suit most requirements (please enquire for details). They also benefit from allocated UN part numbers, making these rugged cases quick and easy to purchase.

And finally, we can modify your ammo tins in several ways. Options include adding information to the exterior surfaces by stencilling, such as handling instructions, part numbers etc. You can also add foam inserts that brace and cushion larger items within the outer box. Foam inserts improve protection and can aid in packing and unpacking.

Questions and answers

What are ammo boxes?

Ammo boxes, also commonly referred to as ammo tins, are small metal containers used for storing live ammunition and other explosives. Available in various sizes, ammo tins have allocated UN part numbers for easy sourcing by military and other armed forces.

Can ammo boxes be used for other explosives?

Ammo boxes are suitable for a range of explosive devices. Larger items can benefit from custom foam inserts that sit within the ammo box, which prevents movement during handling and transit whilst also cushioning from shock and impact.

Can ammo be stored in cardboard boxes?

Ammunition will degrade over time if not stored correctly. Whilst ammo left in cardboard boxes will eventually become unusable, any stored in ammo tins will remain in pristine condition.

Are ammo tins waterproof?

Ammo tins protect from splashes and rainfall, keeping the contents safe and dry.
