Safety in transit.
Innovative transportation packaging from Houston, Texas.
One group, two brands: physical transportation packaging from Vanguard Polymer Packaging, and engineered, intelligent packaging from ChemTray Innovations, from flexitanks and custom pallets to smart, tracked pallets and leak-sensing reusable trays.
Different problems in transportation packaging call for different specialists. Our two brands share one Houston team, one engineering approach and one point of contact.
Physical transportation packaging
Packaging that physically holds, protects and moves freight: flexitanks and IBCs for bulk liquids, and polymer pallets designed around your load.
Engineered and intelligent packaging
Packaging that senses, tracks and protects, for chemical, battery and advanced-manufacturing supply chains where safe handling matters most.
Innovation in transportation packaging
Transportation packaging is changing: loads are more valuable, supply chains want live visibility, and reusable systems are replacing one-way packaging. We develop solutions for each of those shifts.
Vanguard Polymer Packaging
Vanguard flexitanks from 18,000 to 24,000 L for 20ft dry containers, 1,000 L paper IBCs, bulkheads, valves and heater pads, stocked in Houston and ready to ship for non-hazardous bulk liquids.
Vanguard Polymer Packaging
Pallets engineered around your load, not the other way round. We design polymer pallets to your part geometry, weight, racking and handling equipment, including foldable and nestable formats that cut return-freight space.
ChemTray Innovations
Know where your pallets and their loads are. ChemTray Innovations integrates RFID tags for scan-point visibility at docks, gates and warehouses, and IoT trackers for continuous location visibility between them.
ChemTray Innovations
ChemTray Innovations designs modular, reusable transport trays for chemical containers, with leak sensors that flag a spill early, so a small problem doesn’t become a contaminated load.
ChemTray Innovations
High-value parts need packaging designed for them. We develop engineered polymer trays, dunnage and pallet systems with manufacturers in battery, semiconductor, electronics and automotive supply chains.
Both brands
Every program starts with your load, your lanes and your handling. We engineer the solution in Houston and support it with a team in your time zone.
We develop custom pallet and tray solutions together with the people who load, ship and receive them.
Your product, weights, hazards, lanes, handling equipment and return loop.
We design the pallet, tray or packaging system in Houston, around your requirements.
Samples and trial runs with your team, so the design proves itself on your lanes.
Supply programs, tracking set-up and ongoing support from Houston.
