We are all about problem solving and innovation and are so excited to have our new Cardboard Engineer Lizzie onboard who has already helped us innovate so many packaging solutions for our clients!

These luxury boxes were manufactured to house laptop devices, to ensure they were protected during shipping, however with fitments made from foam they are not sustainable or recyclable. Our client wanted to use more eco-friendly materials but needed the packaging to be strong, sturdy and hold a large laptop. That’s when our wonderful new addition to the team came up with this cardboard fitment design, providing the security and strength of the foam fitment, but far more environmentally responsible than the foam fitment.

📦 If you have any packaging needs, get in touch with our knowledgeable team and we can work with you to create the perfect packaging solution – [email protected] or call us on 01256 352415.

We are taking part in 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐤𝐞 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩-𝐎𝐮𝐭 2024, in support of Julian House on the 15th March!

We will be swapping beds for sleeping bags to brave the winter weather, so that people experiencing homeless can wake up to a brighter future. We are raising funds that will help provide safe shelter and support for vulnerable people who are forced to sleep outside every night.

Last year Julian House provided life-changing support to over 2000 vulnerable individuals who were experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness across Basingstoke, Devon and the South-West. 👇

As part of our partnership with Children’s Charity the Knights Foundation we are taking part in their annual Christmas Present Collection Drive this year!! 🎁

The festive time of year is fast approaching, and although it's a joyous time for most, bear a thought for those young children who will be spending their Christmas in Hospital. Some of these children spend much of their lives in Hospitals due to illness and health conditions. Imagine being a child, and being told that you can't stay in your own bed, and have the normal excitement of Santa visiting you at home? Unfortunately, this is the case for many children each year, which is why we absolutely love to try and add some sparkle to their stay!✨

We are asking for donations of presents, for children up to the age of 18, for all ages and genders. We have numerous allocated drop zones, THEMPC being one of them where you can safely leave your presents, all we ask is that you pop a label on each gift, stating the gender, and a rough age group. The deadline for presents to be donated, is Friday 15th December 2023.

Your brand is as unique as a fingerprint and your packaging should be too!

Why? Packaging is your first chance to create an impression with the consumer before they have even picked your product up.

A striking design can make or break a purchase and influence new customers and clients. Our team takes the time needed to understand your specific objectives, products, target audience, and company values, enabling us to create packaging that works on a design and practical level for you.

We’re planting trees to save the bees! 🐝

We have received our Carbon Capture certificate from The Woodland Trust! As a packaging and print company it’s incredibly important to us to be environmentally conscious in all stages of printing and packagin design.

One way we have reduced our carbon footprint is enrolling in the Carbon Capture Scheme in partnership with our material suppliers - That means every time we order paper/ card stock we plant a tree right here in the UK to give back what we’ve used. This year to date we have helped plant 19.38M2 of UK Woodland!

When adding alcohol to your SWAG kits, thank you packs, customer or employee gifts, it can only be added if your supplier has an approved alcohol license. We can take care of this as we have the relevant licenses to be able to distribute alcohol in all kits we produce!
So you can leave the planning, alcohol sourcing, fulfilment and shipping to us, knowing we have all the relevant licences and knowhow to get your kits out and help make your brand stand out!

We have been saying this for years to our customers! Do not ship fresh air, boxes which are too big do not protect your goods in transit unless you use additional packaging material or bespoke fitments. Create packaging fit for your content and don't waste money using things not fit for purpose!
