Packaging Companies

GWP Packaging offers your business a fresh approach to corrugated cardboard packaging design. As one of the largest corrugated packaging companies in the Southwest, our focus is always on making your packaging cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

At a well-equipped design and production facility in Wiltshire, we manufacture high-quality, corrugated transit packaging for several leading industrial companies and an infinite number of applications.

So, whatever your packaging requirement—from simple corrugated cardboard boxes to highly complex composite packaging designs—we have the experience and people to help.

GWP Protective is a leading UK foam converter that designs and manufactures custom foam inserts. Our expertise in foam conversion is also complemented by an extensive flight case manufacturing capability.

Additional products include a wide range of presentation cases and several branded protective case options, including Peli™, Explorer, Nanuk, SKB, Zarges, SSI Schaefer, and many more. In fact, we offer the most comprehensive range of branded cases and inserts available from any foam converters or packaging companies in the UK today.

From a clean and modern production facility in Wiltshire, we supply primarily, but not exclusively, to the defence, aerospace, oil, medical, electronics, and automotive industries.

GWP Correx® is the UK’s largest independent converter of Correx® (a corrugated plastic material).

As a result, we can offer your company many years of experience in designing and manufacturing fully bespoke multi-trip packaging, returnable tote boxes, warehouse picking bins, internal dividers, and other Correx® boxes and packaging.

Our highly skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable team can design and manufacture corrugated plastic packaging to perfectly suit your application. So, regardless of your application, you can source everything you need from a single packaging company.

GWP Conductive is the undisputed market leader in anti-static packaging, with over 85 per cent market share in the UK.

Unlike competing conductive packaging companies, we design and manufacture your ESD-safe and anti-static packaging in-house, including a broad mix of stock and bespoke products.

Offering your business access to industry-leading brands, including Corstat, Corriplast, and exclusive SSI Schaefer products, our approach is driven purely by your operations’ requirements. As a result, we are always prepared to explore new products, processes, and solutions to meet your specific requirements.

GWP Coatings coats corrugated cardboard as a trade service to other packaging companies throughout the UK.

We could briefly summarise our service as “Choose a colour to match your environment or a finish to meet your application.”

Our coatings can be applied to runs as short as 200 square metres of material, can be matched to any Pantone colour, and include a range of specialist finishes providing waterproof, anti-abrasion, and corrosion-resistant properties. Such low order volumes ensure exceptionally cost-effective solutions for short runs that would otherwise not be commercially viable.
