Frequently asked questions
What's your minimum order quantity?
Our minimum order is 1,000 units, so whether you’re trialling a new product line or scaling up production, we can support you without asking for unnecessary volume commitments.
How long does it take to get a quote?
We aim to turn quotes around within 24 hours of your enquiry. Just give us a call or fill in the form above and one of our packaging specialists will be in touch.
What are your lead times once an order is confirmed?
Lead times vary by order complexity and finish, but our in-house, end-to-end manufacturing process — from design through to delivery — means we can typically move faster than suppliers who outsource stages of production. Speak to our team for a lead time specific to your project.
Do you offer design support?
Yes. Every project starts with a free design consultation and prototype, so you can see and approve your carton before full production begins.
Is your packaging suitable for food products?
Yes. We’re BRCGS AA-rated and manufacture exclusively food-grade folding cartons, meeting the standards required by UK supermarkets and food manufacturers across meal kits, bakery, frozen, chilled and retail food products.
Is your packaging sustainable?
Our cartons are FSC and PEFC certified, so you can be confident the board we use comes from responsibly managed forests.
What types of food products do you produce cartons for?
We work with bakeries, meal kit providers, frozen and chilled food producers, and retail food brands — producing over 350 million cartons a year across the sector.
How reliable is your delivery?
With our own storage and logistics facility, we maintain a damage rate of just 0.003%, backed by consistent, on-time delivery so your production line isn’t held up waiting on packaging.
Can I order a small trial run before committing to a larger order?
Yes — our 1,000-unit minimum is designed to support trial runs as well as ongoing production, so you can test before scaling.
