Mil-Spec Packaging offers Hardy-Built® Mil-Spec fasteners and hardware for use in manufactured shipping and storage containers including boxes, cases, wood crates, and bins. The Hardy-Built® Fastening System is an engineered device that attaches to container panels/bases and forms a container when assembled. These military spec fasteners feature advantages like strength, durability, quick assembly, and maximum repeat usage without causing damage to the knockdown container. Whether your applications are electronics, avionics, computers, medical equipment, high-tech industrial or low-tech hardware, these military spec fasteners will transfer your materials efficiently, safely, and securely.

The containers are normally a total knock-down variety or manufactured modular where only an end, side, or lid is capable of being removed. Mil-spec hardware and fasteners are designed for use with all types of container materials:

  • Wood
  • Plywood
  • OSB
  • Recycled or virgin plastic
  • Particleboard
  • Metal

Virtually any thickness material fits the mil-spec fastener system. Easily assembled and disassembled, the military spec fastener system for knockdown containers is mounted and secured by one to two people in an easy, four-step process.
