The packaging for missile systems is crafted from high-strength and lightweight materials such as  aluminum, ensuring resilience against impacts, vibrations, and environmental stress. Designed for repeated use, these durable cases help to minimize costs and eliminate waste. Each container incorporates foam padding and shock-absorbing isolators to cushion mechanical stress during transportation. Cases are treated with specialized coating to combat against rust and corrosion, and to minimize degradation. Additionally, cases are sealed to protect against water, moisture, dust.

To ease handling, the packaging includes heavy duty handles, lifting hooks/ rings to facilitate both manual and crane-assisted movements. Many designs feature wheels, skids, or bases compatible with forklifts to simplify transport. These packages are also engineered to be stackable, maximizing storage and shipping efficiency, with design elements that ensure secure and slip-resistant stacking.

In some cases, shielding is incorporated to protect sensitive electronics from electromagnetic interference (EMI). Overall, missile packaging plays a pivotal role in logistics and operational readiness by strategically balancing security, durability, and logistical efficiency.
