Manufacturing uses Statistical Process Controls (SPC) under ISO 9001 and Det Norske Veritas (DNV) quality certifications.

Shippers operates a sales-led, direct go-to-market model: an experienced field sales force with assigned customer service agents, on-site load securement specialists, custom load audits, and professional training serves enterprise customers across twelve verticals including logistics & ecommerce, metals, corrugated/paper, empty container/beverage, pharma, food, fiber & textile, construction, wood products, printing/mail, and general manufacturing.

The Shippers brand has manufactured dunnage airbags for over 40 years and operates as a product line within Signode, a $2.4 billion global industrial packaging company and the Transit Packaging Division of Crown Holdings, Inc. Signode itself has been in business since 1924; Signode Industrial Group was rebranded to Signode in 2024, consolidating global brands and digital properties under a unified identity. Shippers' standalone revenue, headcount beyond the 101-250 bracket, and product-level financials are not separately disclosed.
