V3C | W5C Weather-Resistant Fiberboard Boxes
Royco Packaging manufactures ASTM-D5118 certified military shipping containers engineered to protect critical defense assets throughout global logistics operations. Our weather-resistant V3C and W5C fiberboard boxes deliver verified performance for DoD packaging programs, contractor shipments, and government procurement applications requiring documented compliance with current military packaging standards.
ASTM-D5118: Current Military Fiberboard Specification
ASTM-D5118 supersedes the legacy PPP-B-636 specification, establishing updated performance requirements for weather-resistant corrugated and solid fiberboard containers used in military packaging applications. Royco Packaging manufactures all containers using QPL-certified V3C and W5C board materials that meet or exceed specification requirements for bursting strength, water resistance, and environmental durability.
Weather-resistant fiberboard construction utilizes fiber treatment and water-repellent coatings that protect contents from moisture damage during transit, storage, and field deployment—critical for preserving mission readiness in demanding operational environments.
