Some military specs have been replaced by commercial specs for materials, however you must still supply proof that the materials meet these commercial specs.
At Kost Packaging we maintain files for material certifications, so we are able to determine which specific materials were used for each job and prove that certified materials were used.
CERTIFIED MATERIALS
