Why should I work with GWP Packaging?
Simply put, GWP Packaging has more than 30 years of experience in providing award-winning, commercially successful packaging to both large and small businesses. Regardless of the challenges you face – from rising costs to falling sales, transit damage or even a lack of storage space – we can assess your requirements and provide packaging that makes a tangible difference to your business’ success.
Where is GWP Packaging based?
GWP Packaging is located in North Wiltshire, working closely with businesses throughout the Southwest of the UK. GWP became part of Macfarlane Packaging in 2021, meaning many of our packaging products are now available through a UK-wide network of packaging distribution hubs.
Can I source all of my packaging from GWP?
GWP Packaging can design and manufacture any type of corrugated packaging. However, the wider GWP Group allows you to source virtually all the packaging your business uses from a single source. Whether you need foam, cases, Correx®, returnable packaging, ESD safe boxes or even warehouse picking bins, GWP can help.
How long has GWP been established?
GWP was originally founded in 1990. Initially called the Great Western Packaging Co, the business has grown to become one of the most well-known and respected packaging manufacturers in the UK. With more than 30 years of experience producing commercially successful packaging, you can be confident that by working with GWP, your packaging will be of the highest quality.
Can GWP help me reduce my packaging costs?
Your packaging provides genuine opportunities to improve your overall business performance, including cost-saving strategies to balance quality and price. A thorough analysis and audit of your entire packaging process also considers the often hidden costs of your packaging. Intelligent use of materials, reduction in warehouse space and minimising packing times can all have a significant, positive impact on your profitability.
Why should I use custom-designed packaging?
GWP can engineer custom-designed packaging to offer specific levels of protection during transit, reduce shipping and storage costs, and even reduce packing times. An experienced design team provides free, impartial advice on the optimum solution for your business from conceptualisation to delivery whilst focusing on reducing costs and enhancing efficiency and profitability.
Can GWP provide a stock-holding service for my packaging?
If your business encounters high storage costs for your packaging supplies, difficulty with forecasting, or excessive admin of continual re-ordering, then a fully managed inventory with Just In Time (JIT) supply could help. An agreed stock level of your packaging will be held at GWP, meaning you can order on exceptionally short lead times, free up storage space and ensure your business will not run out of stock.
