This means that, rather than simply adapting designs that are successful in corrugated cardboard or cartonboard, your products will be designed specifically to get the most benefit from the material.
This in turn leads to products that perform better, last longer, are easier and quicker to manufacture, protect your products better and are more cost effective.

04: Who are GWP Correx®?
Your handling, storage and packaging partners
The GWP Correx® division is the newest of the 5 GWP businesses, becoming a part of the GWP Group in October 2013.
Following huge growth in the number of businesses expressing an interest in – and ordering – Correx® based products, the decision was made to create a new, dedicated division to manage this growing market.
And whilst the GWP Correx® division itself may be fairly new, the GWP Group experience with Correx® spans many years.
As Plastic Packaging Manufacturers who has long utilised Conductive Corriplast as a key offering from the GWP Conductive division, whilst also offering standard Correx® products through the GWP Packaging division, it ensures that GWP Correx® has the technology, skills, knowledge and people to create the perfect Correx® solution for any application.
Our operations
Operating out of a brand new office and production space in Wiltshire, GWP Correx® are able to ship your products throughout the UK and Ireland. This in turn has seen GWP work alongside both international blue chip companies and smaller independent businesses alike.
With a growing team of dedicated, internal sales and customer support advisors, backed up by an expert Correx® design team, dedicated production planners and operatives, you can be certain that you will receive the highest possible level of customer service.
Besides this, all of your products will be manufactured in a modern, clean facility by a highly skilled and well trained production team. With the latest machines and manufacturing processes, this allows for short lead times whilst maintaining the highest quality regardless of product type or volume.
Sheet Plant Association
As well as selling directly to end users, as part of the Sheet Plant Association GWP are able to offer support and products to members of the SPA.
This is primarily in the supply of low to medium volume Correx®, Bicell and Corriplast sheet materials.
However, GWP’s expertise and experience in the conversion of Correx® may also be beneficial for sheet plants which historically have struggled with processing Correx® through standard sheet plant equipment and waste management systems.

06: Benefits to Your Business.
Advantages offered by the GWP Correx® division
As well as leading the field in manufacture of both low and high volume Correx® products, as a separate division we can also offer your business an additional range of benefits and products.
This includes stocking a wide range of rigid plastic containers, available on very short lead times including next day when required.
This range of products, including component boxes, euro bins and boxes and standard totes from SSI Schaefer, means that you have a much broader choice of products than from the vast majority of other suppliers.
GWP are also continuously and pro-actively seeking innovations in new material technologies, a policy which has led to us becoming the first UK based company to offer the new Bubble-Board material.
Bubble-Board is an exceptionally tough and hard wearing rigid plastic sheet material which can be laminated with fabric or foam to give anti scuff and cushioning properties. In certain applications it can provide an additional level of bi-directional strength and rigidity over standard Correx® materials.
