Our experience means that our customers are always in the safest hands and can trust us with their individual needs.

Box design forms a vital part of our business because 97% of our products are made bespoke. Once we have agreed on a style, we then need to understand how the package will be handled to determine which board grade to use. We have CAD facilities in house to enable us to design and supply samples for approval
Once a box has been designed and board grade specified, we oversee the manufacture of your order to ensure production is on time and fulfilled without quality issues.
We can stock your bespoke packaging in bulk which means you call-off smaller quantities of product on a ‘just-in-time’ basis to suit your production and packing schedule. We will replenish the stock when it reaches an agreed threshold to ensure continuity of supply.
Packaging solutions for the manufacturing industry must reflect the complex, streamlined and fast-paced manner of the trade. Luckily, we understand your needs and know how to meet them.
