Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between SpecPack™ Certified Pouches (ready-stock, standard sizes) and custom pouch converting services?

SpecPack™ pouches are Royco Packaging's ready-stock military barrier bags in standard sizes, intended for rapid procurement when the required construction matches an available item. Custom pouch converting is used when the component needs a non-standard dimension, a different Type/Class/Style, special material construction, or custom printing such as NSN, nomenclature, or handling instructions. Both options use Royco's military packaging expertise, but the tradeoff is speed versus customization. SpecPack reduces lead time because the bags are already manufactured, while custom converting allows the package to be engineered around the exact component and contract. Royco's specialists can help determine which path satisfies the requirement most efficiently.

What certification documentation is included with each shipment to ensure it passes receiving inspection?

Royco Packaging provides manufacturer certification and traceability documentation appropriate to the military packaging product being supplied. For certified barrier bags, that can include a Manufacturer's Certificate of Conformance; other items may include Certificates of Compliance, material certifications, QPL traceability, or supporting documentation tied to the applicable specification. This documentation helps government and defense receiving teams verify that the material is the specified product rather than a vague commercial equivalent. The exact package of records depends on the item and contract, so customers should state any special inspection or documentation requirements when ordering. Royco's ISO 9001:2015 quality system supports controlled manufacturing, inspection, and traceability throughout the process.

Can Royco support Foreign Military Sales (FMS) or export packaging requirements for international contracts?

Yes. Royco Packaging supports Foreign Military Sales and export packaging requirements for defense programs that move equipment or components internationally. Its military packaging portfolio includes corrosion protection, moisture barriers, ESD materials, desiccants, tapes, and ASTM-D5118 shipping containers used in long-distance and overseas logistics. Royco can also help interpret MIL-STD-2073 requirements and custom-convert bags or other materials for the specific item. Export and FMS work can involve additional marking, documentation, preservation, and shipping considerations, so customers should provide the contract, destination, preservation code, and any international requirements when requesting support. Royco can then recommend the packaging materials needed to protect the item through storage and transit.

What's the minimum order quantity and lead time for custom military packaging development (e.g., custom sizing or printing)?

Minimum order quantity and lead time for custom military packaging depend on the material, dimensions, printing, complexity, and quantity. Royco Packaging states that it supports custom barrier bags, specialized constructions, custom printing, prototype development, qualification support, and volume production with flexible minimums and competitive lead times. Because a simple custom-size pouch is different from a newly engineered printed configuration, Royco does not publish one universal MOQ or turnaround time for every project. Customers should send the required specification, Type/Class/Style if known, dimensions, quantity, artwork or marking requirements, and desired delivery date. Royco's specialists can then confirm feasibility, minimums, prototype needs, and production timing for that exact program.

How does Royco ensure compliance with DFARS/domestic sourcing requirements (Made in USA) for certain government contracts?

Royco Packaging emphasizes domestic manufacturing and states that its military packaging products are Made in the USA, supporting DFARS and other domestic-sourcing requirements for applicable government contracts. The company manufactures and converts packaging in-house and uses traceable qualified raw materials where required, which helps maintain visibility into country of origin and supply-chain documentation. DFARS compliance can depend on the specific clause, item, component sourcing, and contract, so customers should not rely on a generic Made-in-USA statement alone. Royco's packaging specialists can review the sourcing requirement for the selected product and provide the applicable documentation, certifications, and material traceability needed to support the customer's compliance review.
