Board Manufacturing

£6M Strategic Investment

We recently invested £6M in a bespoke facility with corrugator, materials handling, storage and shipping department. Thanks to one of the best corrugators available in the market, our board is strong, perfectly flat....and of course, fully recyclable!

Our performance packaging approach means we often specify and supply bespoke, performance board grades that best suit the box application, at highly competitive prices.
