Based in Manchester, we’ve been at the forefront of eco-conscious manufacturing, helping local and national businesses reduce their environmental impact with sustainable protective packaging solutions in the UK.

That’s where we come in.
We offer a wide selection of sustainable packaging materials that are either recyclable, reusable, or made with less energy-intensive processes. Here’s a breakdown of what we provide:
Custom-cut to reduce waste and protect fragile items efficiently. We use Polyurethane packaging, Polyethene Manchester, and expanded polystyrene blocks — all of which we source and shape with minimal material waste. Our foams are durable and reusable, meaning less need for single-use replacements.

Yup, even bubble wrap can be eco-friendly! Our wrap products are either recyclable or designed to reduce material use. This means you get maximum protection with minimal waste.
