Brafim Mecplast S.L. | Best Packaging 2025

Scudopack

Product overview. Scudo is a protective packaging system made entirely of cardboard. Designed using 3D technology, it effectively absorbs and reduces impacts during logistics operations, thereby helping to lower the carbon footprint of the packaging. It was developed for industries that produce high-value-added products, where impact protection is essential, even under extreme conditions, eliminating the excessive use of packaging materials such as wood, plastic, Styrofoam, etc.

Design, sustainability, and effectiveness are the key factors behind the success of Scudo, an environmentally friendly packaging solution that delivers an optimal experience for both users and their customers in terms of performance, protection, and recyclability. It is the design itself that sets Scudo apart from other protection solutions, so much so that, since 2022, it has been included in the permanent collection of the Barcelona Design Museum.

Innovation. The flexible design ensures a perfect grip, adapting to any product thickness, shape or weight, all while using a single raw material that is 100% recyclable.

Materials used. 100% recycled and recyclable cardboard.

Applied technologies and benefits. The technology involves overlapping layers of 3D cardboard to achieve varying thicknesses and shapes. In addition to eliminating the risk of breakage and reducing the environmental impact associated with excess packaging, the use of cardboard as the sole raw material simplifies recycling and extends the material's life cycle—delivering superior protection compared to alternative solutions.

Scudo was developed and tested in cooperation with packaging machinery manufacturers to streamline assembly operations within production and logistics processes, ensuring compatibility with modern industrial innovations.

Environmental and consumer benefits. Brafim offers a carbon footprint assessment developed by the ITENE laboratory that enables direct comparison between Scudo and other protective packaging solutions.

Compared to other solutions on the market, such as plastic, polystyrene or foam, impact tests (Droptest) conducted in the Brafim laboratory, measured in G-force, show that Scudo provides up to five times better impact cushioning. Countless benefits for the user: Scudo helps reduce costs related to product breakage and packaging materials. It simplifies the packaging process, boosts productivity, reduces storage space requirements and transportation costs, and makes it easier to expand into online and export markets. Last but not least, it simplifies recycling for end users.
