Do you still need help with this? If you are looking for suppliers: Uline, Quality Support, TMT Packaging, All Military Packaging.... All carry bubble wrap that meet the requirements specified in PPP-C-795. Using bubble wrap with a cell height of 3/4" is not a requirement. You can use bubble wrap of any cell height as long as the bubble wrap is manufactured according to specs. Cushioning and dunnage thickness code "C" is telling you how much bubble wrap to use. In your case, layer/wrap the item with enough bubble wrap so that the total combined thickness of the bubble wrap layers surrounding the item is at least 3/4" thick. For example, you order a 12" by 175' roll of bubble wrap with a 3/16" cell height, if you wrap the item with four layers of bubble wrap that is 3/16" thick, the total cushioning and dunnage thickness equals 3/4"

Packaging company
Does anyone know a good packaging company? Looking for one with good pricing and the capability to handle both big and small packaging contracts. Would love to hear about companies that are reliable and easy to work with. Appreciate any recommendations!

@Fridah Gitahi The only content I found on military packaging that was actually useful was Day's YouTube video. I posted a long rant today about the material the DLA keeps trying to pass off as “guidance". I process and package dozens of Mil-Spec orders per week and would be willing to share/record some of my processes and rationale. Is there a particular packaging scenario that you are unsure about that I could demonstrate for you?

"New" DLA Packaging Videos....Don't Waste Your Time.
I just finished all five of the packaging advice videos, and I have to say I’m disappointed, but not surprised. Once again, it was just someone reading MIL-STD-2073 while showing a series of screenshots from Mil-STD-2073. Same recycled images, and the same tired content we’ve all seen before. The supposed purpose of the series is to provide insight and guidance. If the goal is to provide insight, simply reading the material we’re all already familiar with, verbatim, is not only redundant, but also a waste of time for those seeking meaningful interpretation, or practical application beyond what we can already read for ourselves. We’ve read the standards. Front to back. We know them by heart. What people who are just starting out need are real-life examples. Demonstrate what preservation method 41 looks like in the context of the real world! Just pick one military order! One small business set-aside with a single item that has military packaging requirements. Show us how it’s actually done! On camera! In real life! Please, DLA, I’m begging you, stop recycling the same old images and content. They don’t help. We’ve all read what you’re putting on the screen. When i first started out, I scoured the internet for months looking for content of someone demonstrating and sharing their experiences. Day's forty minute packaging video on YouTube is literally the only one like it in existence, it's why I'm here and never leaving because I finally found a group of humans who can relate! Anyways, thanks for reading my rant. You are the only people who truly get it. Xoxoxox❤️ Edit: Here's a link to the videos https://www.dla.mil/Logistics-Operations/Packaging/#Videos

Hazmat contracts?
Hello everyone! I'm new to the community and happy to be here! Finally got my postcard and ready to bid! Does anyone here have experience bidding on hazmat contracts? We're getting our DG certs this week and already have hazmat endorsements. We're already experienced with hazmat, so we're going to bid specifically on hazmat contracts and wanted to see if anybody else is doing the same. Thanks!

@Miss Bella Me technically yes, assuming we are talking about shipping goods for an already awarded contract, you will need to qualify to ship hazmat with your preferred carrier (UPS, FedEx). UPS: "In order to ship hazardous materials/dangerous goods with UPS, you must enter into an Agreement that ensures compliance with applicable Regulations as well as UPS carrier requirements." https://www.ups.com/us/en/support/shipping-support/shipping-special-care-regulated-items/hazardous-materials-guide FedEx: "In order to ship fully regulated hazardous materials via FedEx Ground, shippers must complete a qualification process before they can ship hazardous materials." https://www.fedex.com/content/dam/fedex/us-united-states/services/HazMat-FXG-shipping-guide.pdf

STO ZD072 Hazmat Statement
Does anyone know what "STO ZD072" is a refernce to? I can't find that phrase anywhere in the contract hazmat statement.

@Rudy Cadena Hi. Yes it was an awarded contract. I ended up shipping out the order. I didn't want to miss the delivery date. The general consensus seemed to be that ZD072 reference was the hazmat notice.
