About the Company

At Armor Protective Packaging® we bear the title of "Eradicators of Rust" with pride. We offer a product line that is specifically designed to keep metal parts rust-free, during shipping, storage and even in-process. ARMOR VCI

Nanotechnology™ is the formal name for our "secret recipe" of rust-preventing vapor corrosion inhibitors. We combine our VCI with materials such as paper or poly film to create packaging supplies with the added benefit of rust prevention.

When a metal part is wrapped or enclosed in an ARMOR VCI product, the VCIs activate to create a blanket of protection on the surface that repels rust and all it's evil intentions.
