Packaging In a Time of Change
Our customers are experiencing a period of innovation supporting the need for sustainability and operation efficiencies.
Whether food wrapping to improve product shelf-life or to protect goods for shipping and logistics, materials science developments in the types of packaging used can improve end-product lifecycles without compromising on properties such as mechanical performance or waterproofing.
With over 170,000 advanced materials available, the team here at Goodfellow offers you support for your product customization needs and requirements.
Spotlight on Polymers
We are seeing the increased demand and use of innovative films, particularly for food packaging.
Whether you are using gas-tight packaging that can be combined with modified atmospheric packaging (MAP), or high-density polyethylene for crates and shipping materials and more, the packaging sector has a remarkably diverse range of materials needs, both in terms of the specific properties of the materials and the length scales upon which the materials need to be manufactured.
Typical relevant materials and forms include polymers, such as high-density polyethylene for crates and shipping materials, low-density versions for food packaging, metals for shipping structures and food containers, and recyclable materials such as cardboard.
Our expert Technical Solutions team of Scientists and Engineers can customize products to your specific needs.
Our Product Range
At Goodfellow, we offer a comprehensive range of high-performance materials for your packaging applications, including:
Sustainability with our Green Innovation
With increasing environmental pressures, product innovation is crucial.
We now have a range of Green technology or products for sustainable purposes. Examples include our range of polyhydroxybutyrate biopolymer (PHB), a type of polyhydroxyalkanoate, or cellulose acetate films and sheets with their flexible, transparent, and non-toxic properties manufactured from plant cellulose as a replacement for polymer in food packaging.
The team here at Goodfellow is supporting customers to accelerate the development of new sustainable innovations, after all, it's as important to you as it is to us.
Packaging Development & Performance Optimization
In addition to supplying advanced materials for packaging applications, the Goodfellow group supports end-to-end packaging development and performance optimization through our specialist laboratory and solutions brand.
STP delivers independent, science-driven expertise to help manufacturers design, validate, and optimize packaging systems for demanding applications, including pharmaceutical, medical, and high-barrier packaging. Services span the full development lifecycle - from early material selection to performance validation and failure analysis.
By combining Goodfellow’s extensive materials portfolio with in-house packaging development and analytical expertise, we help customers reduce development risk, accelerate time-to-market, and ensure regulatory-ready packaging performance.
Your Solutions for Heavy Duty Packaging
For logistics applications, we offer a range of polymers and metals that are suitable for heavy-duty transportation and packaging. Whether you need aluminum and steel alloys that are designed to be lighter weight or you need the inclusion of vanadium in steel or aluminum to produce ultra-high strength alloys over standard steels, these carefully crafted alloys also offer excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and longevity.
Applications requiring polymers can include several formulations for polypropylene to create materials that are either more rigid or flexible.
