Custom Packaging Solutions in Fountain, CO
Engineered Packaging for a Community Built on Hard Work
Fountain doesn’t get as much attention as Colorado Springs or Pueblo, but the businesses here are serious. Manufacturing operations, distribution companies, defense contractors, and product-based businesses all call this corridor home, and they share one common need: packaging that actually holds up.
At Colorado Industrial Packaging, we’ve spent years solving packaging problems for Colorado businesses that can’t afford to guess. When a product is damaged, you’re not just losing that order. You’re losing time, credibility, and often a customer. We build packaging designed to prevent that from happening in the first place.
We Start With Your Product, Not a Catalog
Here’s something we hear often from new clients: their previous vendor just sold them the closest standard size. The product rattled around, damage rates climbed, and nobody took ownership of the problem. That’s not how we operate.
When a Fountain business comes to us, we start by looking at the actual product. Its weight. Its fragility. How it gets palletized, stored, and handled before it even reaches a carrier. From there, we engineer packaging around what the product genuinely needs, not what happens to be in stock.
What that looks like in practice:
- Custom corrugated boxes built to your exact product dimensions, eliminating excess void space
- Single-wall, double-wall, and triple-wall construction selected based on real load requirements
- RSC, FOL, HSC, and specialty box configurations matched to your packing workflow
- Printing options for branding, handling instructions, and shipping labels integrated into the box design
- Recyclable and sustainability-focused corrugated materials for businesses managing their environmental footprint
Custom Crates When a Box Isn't Enough
Some products simply outgrow what corrugated can do. Heavy industrial equipment, large fabricated components, sensitive instruments that need rigid containment, these need a crate built for the specific challenge. We design and build custom crating solutions for Fountain businesses that are moving products a standard shipping box was never meant to handle.
Our crating work covers:
- Industrial machinery and equipment requiring braced, load-rated containment
- Oversized or awkwardly shaped products that don’t fit standard configurations
- Defense and aerospace components requiring compliant, documentation-ready packaging
- Domestic and international shipments where handling conditions vary significantly
Every crate is designed with the right fastening methods, material selection, and internal bracing to keep your product stable from pickup to delivery.
Foam and Protective Inserts That Actually Fit
There’s a meaningful difference between tossing foam peanuts in a box and engineering a custom foam insert that holds your product exactly where it needs to be. For high-value components, precision instruments, electronics, or anything fragile enough that movement during transit is a real risk, custom foam packaging is worth the investment.
We work with polyethylene and polyurethane foams, cut to your product’s precise geometry. The result is consistent, repeatable protection that also makes the packing process faster and more organized. Your team isn’t improvising with loose fill. They’re placing the product into a system that was designed for it.
Packaging Support That Goes Beyond the Box
A lot of packaging vendors will sell you boxes and move on. We prefer a different approach. For Fountain businesses dealing with recurring damage issues, inefficient packing lines, or compliance requirements they’re not sure how to meet, we offer packaging engineering support that addresses the root of the problem.
That can include CAD-based design and prototyping before a single production box is made, drop and performance testing coordination to validate packaging under real shipping stress, and Vendor Managed Inventory programs so you’re never scrambling for supply at the wrong time. If your packaging process has friction in it, we want to help you find it and fix it.

Fountain’s business landscape skews industrial, and our capabilities reflect that. We regularly work with:
