Buying Guide

 

At our factory in Leicester, we produce most styles of cartons and boxes used for transporting goods throughout the UK. Made from corrugated and solid boards of varying strengths and thicknesses, our packaging is perfect for a variety of uses and can be custom made to your exact specification to ensure you can buy precisely what you need.

When choosing a carton or box style, there are a few things to consider, which you can find in our buying guide. Both the choice of style and the material the packaging is made of will depend on the goods being transported. Consider the size of the object and its weight, as well as how it will be transported – whether that’s by road, sea, air or rail.
