How we do it

As a vertically integrated company all design, prototyping, tooling, engineering and manufacturing capabilities are controlled and operated in-house. Our lean manufacturing operations use a closed-loop water system to save water resource. We offer agile and responsive lead-times using hand-finished techniques and state-of-the-art machinery and automation.

Our bespoke and standard packaging ranges from seasonal low volume custom-designs and prototype packaging to multi-million production runs.

Our company ethos is to deliver right first time, every time. Find out how

Our commitment to developing sustainable solutions is demonstrated by our launch of the UK’s first Localised Circular Economy in 2019. The Cambridgeshire-wide programme uses recycled plastic to manufacture products, then at end of the product’s use the packaging is recycled, super-cleaned and re-manufactured into new packaging products.
