Advanced Materials and Composites

If you manufacture or work with advanced materials and composites, you'll know protecting them can be just as challenging as producing them.

Unlike conventional materials, composites can be susceptible to scratches, edge damage, compression and impacts, despite offering exceptional strength in service. Their size, shape and value also mean that off-the-shelf packaging is rarely a suitable solution. Custom foam inserts, heavy-duty protective cases, timber crates, and bespoke corrugated packaging can all play an important role in keeping your components secure throughout their journey.

At Suttons Performance Packaging, we work with manufacturers to create packaging that reflects the unique characteristics of every product. By taking the time to understand your materials, handling methods and logistics requirements, we develop protective packaging that protects valuable components while improving operational efficiency.
