Hazmat Packaging Is High-Stakes Packaging


If your business ships hazardous materials—like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, or waste byproducts—you’re subject to strict regulatory oversight. Non-compliance can result in heavy fines, lost inventory, and severe safety liabilities. That’s why choosing the right hazmat packaging isn’t just a shipping decision—it’s a safety and compliance investment.

At LPS Industries, we offer DOT and UN-certified hazmat packaging solutions that meet even the most rigorous transport and labeling requirements, ensuring your shipments are secure, compliant, and protected every step of the way.


Understanding Hazmat Packaging Regulations


1. Department of Transportation (DOT) Compliance

All hazardous material shipping in the U.S. is governed by 49 CFR regulations. These standards include:

  • Package integrity and testing

  • Marking and labeling

  • Shipping documentation

  • Employee training


2. UN Certification Standards

UN-certified packaging is tested for durability under extreme conditions, including:

  • Drop impact

  • Vibration and compression

  • Pressure and leak resistance


LPS offers a full line of UN-rated pouches and poly bags that meet these criteria.



Industries That Rely on Certified Hazmat Packaging


✅ Chemical Manufacturing – Acids, bases, flammable liquids 

✅ Medical & Pharmaceutical – Biohazard waste, diagnostic kits 

✅ Industrial Waste & Recycling – Corrosive or reactive materials 

✅ Aerospace & Automotive – Hazardous lubricants, adhesives, and parts


Each of these industries faces unique compliance challenges, but all require packaging that protects both people and the environment.
