Custom cardboard boxes
If you need sustainable, cost-effective, visually appealing packaging that reliably protects in transit, then there is only one choice: corrugated packaging.
Its strength, low weight, print options, and flexibility in terms of size and style make corrugated packaging popular for eCommerce, industrial, and retail applications. Custom cardboard boxes also minimise material use, lower transit costs and emissions, and are easy to recycle.
As experienced corrugated packaging manufacturers, we can offer your business numerous benefits. Our designers enable you to select a specific size, strength, print type, and structural design precisely tailored to your industry, product, and application. We can also help you prevent damage in transit, speed up packing times, grow sales, and reduce warehousing requirements.

FAQs
What is corrugated packaging?
Corrugated packaging refers to any box, tray, carton, or container made from corrugated cardboard. The “corrugated” part of this comes from the corrugated paper that gives the material its strength and properties.
How is corrugated packaging manufactured?
Manufacturing corrugated packaging typically involves several processes and specialised equipment. Production can include rotary and flatbed die cutting, case-making, crash lock assembly, multi-point glueing, and even hand finishing. These methods are in addition to the various printing techniques available.
What are the benefits of custom cardboard boxes?
By using custom cardboard boxes, rather than off-the-shelf packaging, you can expect several benefits. These include reduced material use, improved protection in transit, lower transport costs and emissions, and a decrease in secondary packaging (such as void fill). All of these can have a positive impact on your costs and overall business.
Can corrugated packaging be printed?
Corrugated packaging can be custom-printed to your requirements. Options include anything from simple, one-colour logos to full-colour, photographic-quality imagery. It is also possible to accurately match Pantone colours. Methods used to print your cardboard boxes include flexographic, digital and litho-laminating.
Can corrugated packaging be enhanced in any way?
You can choose to enhance your business’s corrugated packaging in several ways. Options include adding a range of inserts and dividers, tamper-evident features, and even specialist coatings to provide water-resistant or anti-static (amongst other) properties.

What our customers say:
We had issues with a previous supplier regarding delivery and quality and so looked to GWP to provide better. They supply us with bespoke corrugated packaging for vending and dispensing equipment, protecting high value products. GWP is without a doubt one of our best suppliers.
Martin Stone | Production Manager | Autonumis
What our customers say:
GWP are a responsive and pro-active company who manufacture all their own packaging products. They can also adapt each delivery exactly to match what we need, and when we need it. Their design team and prototyping ability are excellent and their innovative approach to design was a significant factor in us working with them.
Rebecca Crozier | Supplier Account Manager | Stannah
What our customers say:
The pack has worked remarkably well. There was some concern that using corrugated alone would protect such a high-value and fragile item, but to date, we have had zero returns due to transit damage. GWP has done a great job.
