Packaging Design

We begin by consulting with your engineers to design the most economical and practical packaging solutions for your products.

  • Tailored Approach: We conduct a comprehensive assessment of your need – from calculating the optimal size and number of cases required to ensuring each design is both functional and cost-efficient. This tailored approach means that your products receive a bespoke packaging solution that maximises space and minimises waste.
  • Real-Time Updates: Our dedicated administrative support team ensures that you receive timely communications on all completed packed dimensions, weights and dispatch notifications. This transparency provides you with full visibility throughout the process, enabling you to plan effectively and adjust as needed.

Delivery

Our efficient logistics network guarantees that your purchased packaging materials are delivered directly to your site on agreed dates, ensuring your project remains on schedule.

  • Reliable Service: Our robust logistics framework ensures that materials arrive exactly when you need them, reducing downtime and preventing delays.
  • Flexible Scheduling: Deliveries are carefully coordinated to suit your specific project timelines, providing a seamless and adaptable supply chain that supports your operational flow and project milestones.

Flexible Labour

We offer highly trained packers who can work at your site on either a full-time or part-time basis, customised to your operational requirements.

  • Full Management: Our service includes full management of all labour-related aspects. This covers payroll, holiday, absence, pension, national insurance, as well as providing our branded uniform and PPE. We also supply the necessary tools, training and handle recruitment costs, ensuring that your project is supported by a reliable and professionally managed workforce.
  • Administrative Tasks: Our teams handle essential administrative tasks such as verifying packing lists, tracking stock and processing collection and delivery notes. This streamlined approach minimises errors and ensures that your records are maintained accurately, giving you peace of mind and operational clarity.

Primary Packing

All primary packing is carried out at your site with a focus on efficiency, cost-effectiveness and environmental stewardship.

  • Eco-Friendly Practices: We are committed to reducing environmental impact. By minimising the use of plastic materials such as bubble wrap and opting for biodegradable and recyclable alternatives, we help you meet both logistical and sustainability objectives.
  • Meeting Requirements: Our packing processes are specifically tailored to meet your unique requirements. This ensures that every stage from preparation to final packing is optimised for efficiency while supporting your corporate sustainability goals.

Labelling and Marking

Each case is meticulously labelled with unique identifiers to ensure that every product is easily and accurately identified throughout the supply chain.

  • Risk Reduction: Our detailed labelling process is designed to reduce the risk of consignments being mixed with others. This attention to detail streamlines inventory management and facilitates a smooth transition at every stage, from packing to delivery.
  • Enhanced Traceability: Clear and consistent markings ensure that each case can be quickly traced back to its origin, enhancing accountability and simplifying any necessary follow-up actions.

Transportation and Storage

Once your goods are expertly packed, we manage their transportation and storage with the utmost care.

  • Efficient Transit: Your packed goods are transported to our facility in Poole using our own fleet of vehicles or through trusted transportation partners. This controlled transit minimises handling, reduces the risk of damage and ensures that your goods reach their destination.
  • Secure Storage: At our secure warehouse, your goods are stored under stringent conditions until they are ready for shipment. This secure environment not only protects your goods but also ensures that they are maintained in optimal condition, ready for the next stage in your supply chain.

Inspection and Proof of Collection

Transparency and accountability are fundamental to our service, ensuring that you remain fully informed at every stage.

  • Inspection Events: We host dedicated inspection events where you are invited to review your goods before shipment. These sessions provide you with the opportunity to verify that all packaging meets your exacting standards.
  • Proof of Collection: Following each collection, we promptly notify you and provide proof of collection, complete with signed documentation from hauliers. This process confirms that your goods have been securely collected and are on track for timely delivery.

Quality Assurance – Materials

We supply high-quality packaging materials that adhere to global standards, ensuring that your products are protected at all times.

  • Quality Assured: All wood materials supplied conform to ISPM15 standards, offering reliable protection and ensuring international compliance.
  • Enhanced Protection: Our packaging solutions can be enhanced with an aluminium foil lining. This feature, combined with the use of desiccants and a hermetic seal, provides robust water- and air-tight protection, safeguarding your sensitive products against moisture ingress and other environmental factors.
