"Packaging that’s lightweight, versatile and cost effective, with short production lead times and powerful shelf appeal is worth its weight in gold – especially when brand competition is fierce and margins are tight."
By utilising cartons, every stage of the supply chain can be carefully controlled, ensuring products arrive on the shelf on schedule and in great shape. Improvements in cartonboard production processes have led to substantial reductions in carton weight over the years and with raw materials readily available from sustainable sources, cartons remain consistently cost effective.

- A Sustainable Solution Advances in technology have enabled packaging specialists to design and manufacture high-quality cartons in truly bespoke forms. Cost-effective and appealing, unique styles offer product differentiation.
- Carbon Footprint Recycled fibre now accounts for up to half the materials used in production, and the board mills themselves derive around 50% of their primary energy from wood by-products, making them less reliant on traditional fossil fuels.
We act as a hub to bring people together and widen networks, whether that's at our industry social events or at our sector-specific training and development workshops.
