In all industries ranging from general production, furniture manufacturing, removals and storage and other specialised sectors there is often a need for packaging materials that are as affordable as they are able to withstand the greatest punishment and provide the most effective protection.

In all industries ranging from general production, furniture manufacturing, removals and storage and other specialised sectors there is often a need for packaging materials that are as affordable as they are able to withstand the greatest punishment and provide the most effective protection. There are plenty of criteria determining the right choice of provider of such materials, ranging from the professionalism and responsiveness of its customer service to the location of its storage facility, but the quality of the packaging materials themselves will always be paramount whilst being supplied at the right price.

Protective packaging will always be in demand. Bubble wrap is amongst the most sought after, cost effective and versatile of all products that we stock. Quick and easy to use, shock resistant and strong, bubble wrap has the qualities of the very best protective packaging materials, and is available in many different types, including pre perforated rolls, flame retardant, UV resistant and anti-static varieties, the latter ideal for protecting computers and other sensitive electronic devices. In today's environmentally aware society, there's also an increasing tendency to choose biodegradable bubble wrap that can be safely deposited in landfill sites after use, naturally degrading over time.

Those in need of protective packaging materials may also choose polyethylene foam rolls for their cost-effectiveness, shape retention and uniform protection, or single-faced corrugated paper rolls, which provide good low cost general purpose protection, ideal for use in a wide variety of application. Polyethylene foam profiles are also increasingly popular and are stocked in various size “U” and “L” shape profiles to give vital cushioning and impact resistance in response to all manner of edge protection dilemmas. Foam and plastic corner protectors are also widely available, the latter in three types: expanding corners, closed corner protectors and open corners. Even door frames, entrances and lifts can be given the highest standard of protection when required during shop fitting or domestic and commercial moves, thanks to expanding foam door frame protectors.

The list of our different types of protective packaging materials is comprehensive and also includes solid cardboard edge protectors available in "L" and "U" shape profiles.  These are ideal for use on palletised goods, panel products and furniture. Custom made cardboard edge protection profiles can also be made to suit a customer's exact requirements. Tennax protective plastic sleeving with its mesh formation, is ideally suited to stop abrasion on metalwork, chair legs and bottles to small components and bulky machine parts.

Finally, our range of air cushion machines, are ideal for any voidfill user where storage space it at a minimum for the use of polystyrene voidfill chippings which are supplied in bulky bags. Our lightweight Mini PaK’R machine can produce five different types of air cushions for filling voids in a fast, efficient way, leaving no mess caused from the spillage of chippings. The Opus and Cello machines are suitable for larger scale operations and can produce biodegradable pouches to recycle or breakdown over time. If you had the means though to be able to produce your own protective packaging you would save money over time. A waste converter machine will generate free packaging to be used for wrapping or voidfill from any waste cardboard boxes and corrugated cardboard sheet that your business generates. Such machines can only further enhance an organisation's ability to reduce cost of annual waste disposal and meet packaging waste regulations.
