Overpack

What Overpack does

Overpack S.r.l. is an Italian privately held limited liability company founded around 2007 and headquartered in Milan that specializes in UN-certified packaging solutions for the transport of dangerous goods. The company's core products include fiberboard boxes (4G, 4GV), plywood boxes (4D, 4DV), steel safety containers (4A, 50A), danger labels, GHS pictograms, shock/tilt indicators, ISPM15-FAO compliant wooden packaging, and absorbent/auxiliary materials, all designed for compliance with ADR, ICAO-IATA, IMDG, and RID regulations across road, air, sea, and rail transport modes. Product lines address lithium batteries (including the proprietary OVERPACK BUNCKER® solution for damaged batteries at thermal runaway risk), explosives, chemical products, perfumery, hospital/medical waste, and biological substances.

The business operates a sales-led, enterprise-focused go-to-market with quote-based, multi-year contract pricing and direct technical consultation rather than e-commerce self-service. Customers include multinational industrial buyers such as Maserati, Saint-Gobain, Sanofi, AkzoNobel, Armani, Wurth, Kerakoll, and Fiocchi, spanning automotive, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, luxury, and construction verticals. Beyond physical packaging, Overpack monetizes professional services including dangerous goods classification consulting, documentation preparation (Shipper's Declaration, Multimodal, ADR), UN certification acquisition through European bodies, custom packaging design, and an emergency "last minute" on-site packaging service for urgent shipments. Operations run from a Milan headquarters and a third-party logistics warehouse in Mazzo di Rho operated by ABGROUP SRL, with a strategic training partnership with Flashpoint S.r.l. for ADR/IATA regulatory education.
