Industrial packaging is a critical part of logistics for companies moving machinery, equipment, or sensitive components. Without professional packaging, shipments are vulnerable to damage, delays, and compliance issues. Industrial packaging services in Canada ensure safety, regulatory compliance, and cost efficiency across industries.
At Metropolitan Logistics, we provide tailored industrial machinery packaging, export-certified crating, and onsite packaging solutions that meet the highest standards.

| Shock & Vibration | Damage to parts and frames | Reinforced crating with cushioning |
| Moisture | Corrosion and rust | Foil barriers & desiccants |
| Handling | Dents, scratches, instability | Forklift-access crates |
