Our Custom Cut & Weld Capabilities enable us to physically modify standard plastic containers beyond the limits of off-the-shelf options, creating storage and shipping solutions as unique as your products.
We listen to your requirements and specifications regarding part dimensions, handling, and operating environment.
Our experts design a solution, finalize specs in collaboration with you, and provide detailed modification proposals for approval.
Skilled technicians cut, weld, and reinforce containers according to the plan, ensuring durability and a seamless finish.
Modified containers arrive ready for immediate use, designed for easy forklift entry and logistics compatibility.
At Universal Package, we specialize in engineering custom solutions when standard containers fall short. A perfect example is our ability to physically modify and fabricate containers to solve unique shipping challenges.
When a client needed to ship a massive piece of machinery overseas, we did more than just build a big box. We custom-welded four containers together and then ingeniously used the strength of the machine itself to ensure the container wouldn’t flex and fail on its long journey. See the innovative thinking that went into protecting a 162″ welder, ensuring it arrived in perfect condition after more than a month at sea.
We just received some totes and I must say these look great! You guys have certainly exceeded our expectations. Thanks for the quality work and quick turnaround time.
We have had a very positive impression of Universal with quality parts and look forward to a long relationship with them for our returnable packaging needs.
It’s a fabrication process that changes a container’s height, width, or length by cutting the plastic body and rejoining sections via plastic welding, often with added reinforcements and access features. Major manufacturers describe cut-and-weld as a way to get custom sizes without new tooling and with shorter lead times.
Choose cut & weld when you need right-sized capacity fast, want to reuse existing fleets, have a uniquely large or odd shaped product, or don’t want to pay for new tooling. It’s ideal when a standard footprint is close, but your parts or racks require precise dimensions or access features.
We design for structural integrity—re-welding seams, adding ribs or bands, and validating stack/load behavior. The goal is to maintain or improve rigidity relative to your use case, part weight, and handling environment.
Yes—foam, corrugated plastic, bag dunnage, or solid-sheet HDPE/PP designed for your surface finish and orientation needs. Purpose-built interiors help reduce damage, returns, and rework.
That’s the common goal. Standard bulk containers are built to stack, knock down, and return efficiently, and right-sizing helps you hit pack counts and cube more precisely—often reducing per-unit shipping cost.
