Not sure if this is appropriate to this example, but these paper/cardboard wrappings can save on plastic: The inner container can be made thinner and is generally easier to recycle, as there is no need for printability or pretty finishes (not saying that they are being recycled, but they could).

I mean, there is the Lorica Musculata (? not sure about the casus) which is essentially a breast plate.

Wouldn’t a Segmentata count as lamellar, rather than plate?
