BART FMCG
Multipacks for FMCG
Grouped packaging built for retail and logistics.
A multipack should do more than hold several products together.
Share product variants, units per set, campaign goal and sales channel. We will assess structure, stability and communication.
Process cost
In FMCG, packaging is part of the process
Multipacks are often created under campaign pressure. If packaging development starts too late, the result may work visually but fail on the packing line, pallet or shelf.
Project focus
How we design packaging
Set stability
Structure and stabilising elements matched to product sensitivity and transport conditions.
Promotion and SKU readability
Clear variant and product-line identification for picking, display and ordering.
Packing speed
Simpler assembly, opening and handling so the pack does not slow the team down.
Shipping-case fit
A structure matched to product, volume and process to reduce cost, risk or handling time.
Palletisation
Pack layout, unit stability and pallet use matched to the real delivery flow.
Retail display potential
Format, opening and display prepared around retailer requirements and store handling.
Applications
Packaging matched to the need
Each direction leads to a page that frames the solution through product, logistics or in-store work.
Packaging brief
Design multipacks around SKU, promotion and pallet logic
Share product variants, units per set, campaign goal and sales channel. We will assess structure, stability and communication.
BART process
From brief to stable production
Brief and diagnosis
We collect information about the product, volume, channel, current packaging and the problem to solve.
Structure and board
We define format, flute, ply count, stabilising elements, opening logic and print scope.
Prototype or variants
We compare directions by protection, total cost, packing speed, palletisation and display performance.
Technical verification
We check material and packaging parameters where they reduce implementation risk.
Production and working standard
After approval, we move into production and help standardise the packaging workflow.
How we reduce implementation risk
At BART, packaging design, corrugated board, structure selection, print and quality control come together in one conversation. That means the discussion does not end with carton dimensions. We can focus on how the pack behaves in transport, on pallets, on the packing line and in display — especially when the real target is total process cost, not just unit price.
BART technical base
Our design can be verified before production
This is not about claiming that the pack will work. It is about verifying structure, material, process and compliance before the solution moves into regular production.
Material testing and quality control
Laboratory support helps verify paper, board and packaging parameters before scaling a packaging direction.
Board, flute and ply selection
The packaging structure can be aligned with product, transport, warehouse and display requirements.
Total process cost optimisation
Packaging audits look beyond unit price and include palletisation, handling, stability and damage risk.
Quality and compliance standards
Certifications and process standards make supplier assessment easier for procurement, quality and operations teams.
FAQ
Can a multipack be both promotional and transport-ready?
Yes, but structure, display and handling need to be balanced from the start.
How do we choose the number of products in a multipack?
Not only by promotion. You also need to check shipping case fit, pallet layout, set weight and picking logic.
Can multipacks use custom print?
Yes. Print helps communicate the offer, distinguish variants and improve brand visibility.
What usually breaks a multipack project?
Late operational testing: the pack must be checked on the line, in the shipping case, on the pallet and in display.

More context before the brief
Multipacks should be evaluated through the whole process: set stability, promotion and sku readability, packing speed. A clear brief makes it easier to compare structure, board, handling and implementation options.
Before a discussion, it helps to define the product, current packaging, volume, palletisation, retail requirements and applications such as promotional multipack, sku multipack, transport multipack. This gives the team a better starting point for verifying what should be checked before production and where packaging can reduce cost or implementation risk.
