Rugged cases for field, lab and medical equipment
- Roto-molded cases: one-piece polyethylene, thicker at the corners, for defense, marine and field equipment.
- Creolite™: a patented composite case, custom-built in any size and up to 50% lighter than plywood, that can be stored outdoors in New England winters.
- Nanuk cases: IP67 watertight and dustproof standard cases for medical and diagnostic kits.
Every case is fitted with an interior cut in our 35,000 sq ft foam plant, so each instrument sits in its own pocket.
Barrier bags for Massachusetts defense and aerospace suppliers
MIL-PRF-131L Class 1 is the U.S. Department of Defense specification for water-vapor-proof foil laminate. Creopack supplies QPD-listed materials and converts them into barrier bags sized to your part, or into roll stock for in-house sealing. The inner polyethylene layer can be heat sealed, including in formats designed to meet MIL-DTL-117.
Barrier bags work best as part of a system: paired with desiccants, humidity indicators or VCI products, they protect parts during long storage and overseas shipping. See the full specifications on our MIL-PRF-131 page.

Shipping to Boston: common questions
Which case should I choose for field equipment?
Choose a roto-molded case for the toughest handling and standard sizes, Creolite™ when you need a custom size at a low weight, and a Nanuk or Pelican case when a standard watertight size fits. Our shipping cases page compares them.
Which packaging do you recommend for medical and lab instruments?
A watertight Nanuk case when a standard size fits, or a custom Creolite™ case when it does not, with a foam interior cut around each instrument. Tell us how the kit travels and how often, and we recommend the case and the foam.
Do you ship barrier bags to Massachusetts?
Yes. We ship QPD-listed MIL-PRF-131 barrier bags and roll stock to customers across the United States, made to the size of your part. Specifications are on our MIL-PRF-131 page.
Do you have a facility near Boston?
No. Creopack designs and manufactures in Montreal and Châteauguay, Quebec, about 310 miles from Boston. Design is done remotely from your drawings, dimensions or a sample.
Can you replace the foam in cases we already own?
Yes. We cut custom foam inserts for existing cases, including Pelican and Nanuk cases.
