What is Export Packaging?
Export packaging is more than just putting your products into boxes. It’s about protecting your goods against damage throughout transport.
The right packaging materials help reduce movement, absorb impact, and protect against moisture, dust and corrosion, making sure your goods arrive in the same condition they left in.
All materials are selected to support safe handling, long-distance transport and compliance with export requirements, helping you protect valuable equipment and reduce the risk of damage or delays.
We supply a range of export packaging consumables, including cardboard, bubble wrap, industrial tapes, VCI film and protective wraps.
Packaging Consumables
Bubblewrap & Tape
Industrial-grade bubble wrap and sealing tapes used to protect, secure and reinforce packaged goods.
Cardboard Boxes
Custom-made cardboard cartons made to your exact specifications.
Foam & Padding Materials
Designed to absorb shock, reduce movement, and protect delicate or precision components from impact damage.
Timber Packing Kits
Flat-pack timber kits including cases, bearers, and supports, ready to assemble on-site for a quick and cost-effective packaging solution.
Custom Markings & Stencilling
Clear, durable markings applied to packaging for identification, handling instructions, or export compliance – customisable to your requirements.
Polythene Sheeting
We supply 3D vacuum barrier bags, designed to create a tight, moisture-free seal around machinery or equipment.
Foil Bags
Our foil bags are used to prevent corrosion by keeping relative humidity below 40% and reducing water vapour ingress by up to 80 times compared to polythene.
VCI Film
A corrosion-inhibiting film that releases protective vapours to prevent rust and oxidation on metal surfaces during shipment or storage.
With our new Autobox investment, we can manufacture bespoke cardboard cartons in any size you need.
