Transport packaging solutions
Regardless of whether you sell industrial parts or components to B2B clients, send consumer goods to individuals, or are part of a multinational supply chain, your transit packaging is vital.
Whilst the primary function of your transit packaging is to protect your goods during transportation, it should also be easy to assemble and pack, minimise material use and transport costs, and lessen your environmental impact.
Your business can source a huge range of transit packaging from GWP, including everything from standard boxes to completely bespoke solutions. Our expert designers tailor your transit packaging to incorporate precise levels of protection, calculated stacking strength, printed branding and many other features.

FAQs
Is cardboard a suitable material for transit packaging?
Companies of all sizes use corrugated cardboard for their transit packaging. It is cost-effective, surprisingly durable, and experienced packaging designers can adapt it to specific sizes and performance levels. These benefits make custom transit packaging suitable for virtually any product or market.
Can custom transit packaging reduce shipping costs?
Using off-the-shelf cardboard boxes in standard sizes can have a surprisingly significant impact on your shipping costs. Stock sizes mean you must select a box that is slightly too big and fill the excess space inside with void fill. You are then paying extra to ship this. Custom-sized transit packaging can help to resolve this issue.
How does transit packaging affect staff productivity?
One of the overlooked bottlenecks in terms of manufacturing or fulfilment is that of packing times. Boxes that are slow or difficult to assemble and pack can negatively affect your staff’s productivity. Solutions such as easy-to-assemble crash lock boxes or integral fittings can alleviate this and help to reduce ongoing labour costs.
What options are there for returnable transit packaging?
In addition to single-trip corrugated packaging, there is a wide range of returnable transit packaging options. These include moulded plastic totes and containers, custom-designed Correx® packaging, as well as the new Rapitainer system. As suppliers of these options alongside corrugated cardboard, GWP can provide truly impartial advice on the best solution for your specific application.
Can transit packaging feature printing?
It adds relatively little cost to add one or two colour printing to your transport packaging. Printed transit packaging effectively provides a free form of advertising throughout your supply chain. You can also use print for more practical purposes, such as including handling instructions, identification numbers, and other relevant details.

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.

What our customers say:
A very friendly team who are able to supply narrow width multi-point glued cardboard shelf ready cases that I’ve been unable to source elsewhere. They have provided excellent technical support on complex design projects across a wide range of finishes and materials (not just cardboard…correx and foam too).

What our customers say:
GWP has been one of our main supporters over the past ten years, supplying us with boxes and providing other support as well. We really appreciate their help. The boxes make life so much easier for us when organising the various donations of food and essentials that we receive, as well as helping to transport these to our distribution centres as required.
