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.
