Custom industrial packaging
Industrial packaging is crucial for protecting your products, components, parts, or tools during shipping within your supply chain.
However, custom-designed industrial packaging should not only protect your products during shipping but also use the optimum amount and type of material, be easy to pack, feature your branding and other print (if required), and be environmentally sound as well.
These factors and considerations are why GWP creates fully bespoke industrial packaging that is tailored precisely to your requirements. With our modern production facility, an experienced support team of engineers and advisers and an award-winning design studio, you can be sure that whatever industrial packaging products your business requires, we can help.

What our customers say...
When we approached GWP to help us with a project to improve and rationalise our door panel packaging, I was very pleased at the response. It was really helpful that we could visit the designers on site to discuss the designs, make any changes and get samples the same day which we could test. The new packs have worked well in tests and will provide benefits not only to us but our end customer, all in all a win – win situation.

GWP designed an innovative solution that allows us to stack pallets securely and safely. This has helped the organisation to reduce the amount spent on logistics as we are no longer shipping fresh air on each lorry. The design team at GWP provided exceptional service, visiting the site to support internal stakeholders with training and education on the design.

What is industrial packaging?
Industrial packaging is a form of packaging used for transporting and/or storing goods during manufacturing or as part of a supply chain. Unlike consumer or retail packaging, there is typically no or little requirement for promotion or aesthetic appearance. Industrial packaging can include corrugated cardboard, Correx®, moulded plastic, timber crates and drums.
Can industrial packaging prevent shipping damage?
It is possible to tailor industrial packaging to provide precise levels of performance. By analysing your products, packing methods, shipping conditions and other factors, it is possible to specify materials and designs that offer the optimum level of protection for your application. This process can reveal additional cost savings in many instances as well.
Is corrugated cardboard suitable for industrial packaging?
Corrugated cardboard packaging is an excellent choice for industrial packaging applications. It allows for a wide variance in terms of cost, size, strength, and performance, with everything from single-wall lightweight boxes all the way through to tri-wall packaging that offers comparable strength to wooden crates.
Is industrial packaging waterproof?
Whilst corrugated industrial packaging is not waterproof, it is possible to make it resistant to water through the application of a Liquiguard waterproof coating. Other coatings also allow for the addition of anti-static and corrosion-inhibiting properties. Alternatively, you can source plastic returnable transit packaging for use in conditions where corrugated packaging would not be suitable.
Can industrial packaging be printed?
Industrial packaging can be printed with simple logos and blocks of colours, providing free advertising throughout your supply chain. Besides this promotional aspect, however, you can also add handling instructions, part or batch numbers and other details that may prove helpful.
