| Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Bag / Sack | Bags or sacks are typically flexible containers that may be closed for holding, storing, or carrying materials. | ||
| Bottle / Jar | Bottles and jars are cylindrical containers made of either glass or plastic. They have a re-closable or pop-off top. | ||
| Blister Pack | Blister packs are tamper-proof packages used to display hanging products, while maximizing the use of floor space. | ||
| Carrying Case | Carrying cases and equipment cases protect contents from impact, shock, vibration, rain, sunlight, and dust. | ||
| Pouch | Pouches are three-sided bags. They often have a bottom that allows packages to stand for display. | ||
| Tube | Tubes are cylindrical holding, shipping, or storage devices. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary container types. | ||

| Materials | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| ABS | Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is a hard, rigid, thermoplastic polymer. It provides good chemical and creep resistance as well as dimensional stability. ABS is used in many industries and in a wide array of applications. It is usually inexpensive, but prone to cracking when under stress. Common trade names include Cycolac® (GE Plastics), Lustran® (Bayer) and Novodur® (Bayer). | ||
| Cardboard / Paperboard | Like paper, cardboard is made from wood pulp; however, it is usually thicker. | ||
| Fabric / Cloth | This category includes fabrics such as cotton, canvas, and synthetic fabrics. | ||
| Leather | Leather is created by tanning hides and skins of primarily cattle hide. | ||
| Metalized Film | Metalized film is a plastic film that has been coated on one side with a very thin layer of metal. | ||
| Paper | Paper is made of cellulose pulp. | ||
| Plastic | Plastics are organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight. Plastics can be made into objects, films, or filaments. | ||
| Polyethylene (PE) | Polyethylene (PE) is a semi-crystalline (typically around 50%), whitish, semi-opaque commodity thermoplastic that is soft, flexible, and tough, even at low temperatures. It has outstanding electrical properties, but poor temperature resistance. PE also has very good chemical resistance, but is prone to environmental stress cracking. It has poor ultraviolet (UV) resistance (unless modified) and poor barrier properties, except to water. | ||
| Polypropylene (PP) | Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic material with excellent cold flow, bi-axial strength, and yield elongation properties. It is similar to PVC, but can be used in exposed applications because of its resistance to UV, weathering, and ozone. | ||
| PTFE - Teflon® | Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an insoluble compound that exhibits a high degree of chemical resistance and a low coefficient of friction. It is sometimes marketed in proprietary classes of materials such as Teflon®, a registered trademark of DuPont Dow Elastomers. | ||
| PVC | Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a widely used material with good flexibility, smooth surface, and nontoxic qualities. Some grades are used in food and chemical processes due to the inert nature of PVC. Brand names include: ACP® and Dural® (Alpha Gary), Geon® (Geon), Benvic® (Solvay), and Flexalloy® (Teknor Apex). | ||
| Specialty / Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary materials. | ||

| Features | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Vented | Boxes are vented or have an air handling (circulation) system. | ||
| Air Tight | Products are designed to protect container contents from exposure air and moisture. | ||
| ESD Protection | Products provide protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) pulses. | ||
| Fireproof | Fireproof products are designed to protect container contents from exposure to fire. | ||
| Magnetic / EMI / RFI Shielded | Products are shielded against magnetic, electromagnetic (EMI), and radio frequency (RFI) interference. | ||
| Insulated | Insulated containers are used for storing or transporting perishable goods such as food or blood. Insulated containers also protect contents from the environment. | ||
| Heavy Duty | Heavy duty products are designed and constructed in a manner that manufacturers classify as heavy duty. | ||
| Moisture Resistant | Moisture resistant products provide some degree of protection from the surrounding environment, but are not necessarily impervious to that environment. | ||
| Moisture Barrier / Proof | Containers include a barrier that prevents the ingress of moisture or other contaminants. | ||
| Static Shielding | Static shielding products prevent damage from static energy. To reduce static build up, an electrostatic dissipative layer such as metalized polyester is applied to a substrate. | ||
