Multi-Wall

What Multi-Wall does

Multi-Wall is a US-based industrial brand that designs and manufactures protective packaging products for B2B enterprise customers across twelve industry verticals including metals, pharmaceutical, food, beverage, construction, fiber and textile, and ecommerce logistics. Its product portfolio spans twelve lines including angle pads, flex pads, SUS-RAP® suspension systems, Corrupad®, flat pads, build-up pads, frame packs, honeycomb packaging, paper pallets, pyramid pads, SUS-PAK®, and U-channel pads. The underlying technology uses lightweight, shock-resistant paper-based materials engineered for durability through the distribution cycle, with honeycomb packaging positioned as stronger than corrugated cardboard and less expensive than wood, and paper pallets approximately 75% lighter than wood or plastic alternatives.

The company operates five US manufacturing facilities (Sheridan, Greer, Danville, Martinsville, and East Providence) and runs an ISTA-certified lab and design center that simulates shipping and handling rigors to validate customer-specific packaging designs. Customization runs from special product designs to surface finishes, and the in-house design solutions team develops tailored packaging to reduce customer costs and transit damage. Multi-Wall's go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a dedicated engineered-solutions contact channel, and products are distributed through Signode's industrial packaging network.

Multi-Wall operates as a brand within Signode Industrial Group LLC, the Transit Packaging Division of Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCK). Signode itself rebranded from Signode Industrial Group in 2019 to consolidate its global product portfolio under unified branding. The company has been custom-designing protective packaging for over eighty years and emphasizes sustainability, with products positioned as biodegradable, non-toxic, and 100% recyclable under the parent group's Twentyby30 program.
