Packing Problems
•
Deficiencies in the following areas:
–
Container
–
Closure
–
Strapping
–
Cushioning
–
Blocking
•
Skids left off
•
Excessive packing
Submit a packaging SDR if:
•
The cost of using the right packaging exceeds $100 or the value of the item, shipment
or package exceeds $2,500.
•
The discrepancy involves hazardous material where a hazardous condition could result.
•
The discrepancy results in damaged material that may endanger people or impair
combat or deployment operations.
A shipment of circuit cards arrives at your unit. However,
the packaging material does
not
conform to MIL-B-81
7
05,
Barrier Materials, Flexible, Electrostatic Discharge
Protective, Heat-Sealable, ESD Protective Packaging.
The markings specified in MIL-STD-129,
Military Marking
for Shipment and Storage,
are
also
missing on the unit
pack.
The estimated cost of repackaging is greater than $100;
the circuit cards, which are worth more than $2,500, are
used in avionics and are
critical safety items.
in this case, a packaging SDR
must
be submitted.
SDR procedures are found in Defense Logistics Manual (DLM) 4000.25, Volume
2 (Supply Standards and Procedures), Chapter 17 (Supply Discrepancy Reporting).

if you suspect improper
packaging, check your item’s
packaging codes in LIW:
Military packages
must be able to
survive
worldwide
shipping, rough
handling and severe
storage conditions.
So it’s
important that
those packages
meet the
standards
set
for them.
Search under “Packaging
Requirements.” if you can’t
find packaging requirements
in LIW, try FED LOG.
The following lists
are examples of
packaging problems
that may require
you to file a supply
discrepancy report
(SDR).
Use these tips when
checking incoming
products for problems,
and as guidelines for
reporting any
packaging deviations
or omissions…
