Common Automotive Rigid Packaging

The automotive industry consists of a variety of products, from the vehicle itself to maintenance products to keep them running. Rigid packaging options for the automotive industry are typically for maintenance products such as lubricants, oils, cleaners, and waxes.

Rigid packaging solutions used in the automotive industry are designed for function first, but also aesthetics to stand out from the competition in the consumer space. Many automotive products contain aggressive chemicals and/or ingredients that are difficult to clean if spilled.
