Multi-material packaging
If your business ships specialist products, parts or equipment, composite packaging provides the highest levels of protection in transit.
Typically created by combining several materials, including cardboard, plywood, plastics, barrier bags and foams, composite packaging is tailored precisely to your products to eliminate damage caused during transit entirely.
At GWP Packaging, we have particular expertise in designing and manufacturing composite packaging. We work closely with you to understand your specific challenges and requirements and then create multi-material packaging that is easy to assemble, pack, and transport. This approach also ensures that it is both cost-effective and sustainable.

FAQs
What is composite packaging?
Composite packaging is effectively a form of packaging that combines different materials. Materials used are typically corrugated cardboard, timber, and foams but can also include Correx, plastics, barrier bags, and other commonly used packaging materials. The mix of materials allows composite packaging to achieve much higher levels of transit protection.
Can composite packs prevent damage to products during transit?
Composite packs can provide specific levels of protection for your products. It is even possible to use specialist software to precisely calculate the amount and type of foam required to protect from particular handling conditions. As such, they can often wholly eradicate any issues you have with product damage during shipping.
Does composite packaging include pallets?
Larger composite packaging can include timber pallets to allow for easier storage and movement of products. Adding other specialist features, such as ramps to help unload bulky items on castors or wheels at their destination, is possible.
Is composite packaging reusable?
Although most businesses typically use composite packaging for a single trip, its durable nature means it is not uncommon for packs to be usable over multiple journeys.
Are composite packs recyclable?
Once separated into their differing components, the vast majority of a composite pack can be recycled. Cardboard elements are collected as part of typical recycling services, whilst wood is also widely recycled. The end user must take elements, including foams and Correx, to specialist recycling centres.
