A cooperative packaging system includes a base package, a first member, a second member, and a third member. The base package includes a first side and a second side. The second side is contiguous with the first side. The first member covers a portion of the first side of the base package. The second member covers the second side of the base package. The third member covers the first member and a portion of the second member. The first member and the second member are configured to mitigate impacts sustained by the cooperative packaging system prior to the impacts being transferred to the base package.
