NATO Supply Class 8115 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 81, which is dedicated to Containers, Packaging, and Packing Supplies.
Specifically, NATO Supply Class 8115 focuses on Boxes, Cartons, and Crates. These are essential items used for packaging and transporting various goods and materials.
Boxes are typically made of cardboard or other sturdy materials and are used to store and transport smaller items. They come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different products.
Cartons are similar to boxes but are usually made of heavier materials such as corrugated cardboard. They are commonly used for packaging bulkier or heavier items.
Crates, on the other hand, are larger and more robust containers made of wood or plastic. They are designed to hold and protect larger or more fragile items during transportation.
The purpose of NATO Supply Class 8115 is to provide a standardized classification system for these packaging materials within the NATO logistics framework. This classification helps ensure efficient procurement, storage, and distribution of boxes, cartons, and crates for military operations and other NATO-related activities.
By using this classification system, NATO member countries can easily identify and acquire the appropriate packaging materials needed for their specific requirements.

Note-A chest, case, box, roll, bag, or other container, when specifically designed for housing of a set, kit, outfit, or individual item (with or without attachments or spares), for its protection when not in use, or for the convenience of the user, is classified in the same class as the item or items for which designed, or in such other class as is appropriate.
