Free Packaging Review

Not sure your packaging is doing everything it should? Let’s take a proper look.

If you’re using the same packaging you settled on years ago, there’s a good chance it’s costing you more than it needs to — in materials, in postage, in damaged returns, or in missed opportunities to look better on a customer’s doorstep. Our free, no-obligation packaging review is a straightforward way to find out.

No sales pitch, no pressure — just an honest conversation with someone who’s spent decades in packaging, looking at what you’re using now and where it could work harder for you.

Is this for you?

You might benefit from a review if:

  • You’re not sure whether your current bags, boxes or wrapping are the right size, weight or material for what you’re sending
  • You’re getting damaged items, returns, or customer complaints about how orders arrive
  • You want to move to more sustainable packaging but don’t know where to start
  • You’ve never actually reviewed your packaging since you first chose it
  • You’re paying more than you think you should for postage, storage, or materials
  • You want packaging that reflects your brand better, not just something functional

What we look at

What you're currently using

materials, sizes, thickness, print, and whether it’s still fit for purpose

How it performs

protection in transit, damage rates, ease of use for your team, customer feedback

Cost

whether you’re paying for more packaging than you need, or the wrong type for the job

Sustainability

where compostable, recyclable, or lower-impact alternatives could replace what you’re using now, without compromising protection

Opportunity

whether custom branding or printed packaging could turn your packaging into part of the customer experience, not just a delivery necessity

How it works

  1. A conversation — tell us what you’re currently using and any problems you’re running into. This can be over the phone, by video call, or in person if you’re local to us in Essex.
  2. A review of samples or specs — send us examples of your current packaging (or the details) and we’ll assess it properly.
  3. Straightforward recommendations — we’ll come back with clear, practical suggestions: what to change, why, and what it would cost. If the honest answer is “you’re already using the right packaging,” we’ll tell you that too.
  4. No obligation — take our recommendations to us, to another supplier, or just file them away. There’s no pressure to order anything.

Why book a review with us

We’ve been supplying bespoke and off-the-shelf packaging since 1972, across food, retail and e-commerce. A packaging review with us isn’t a template exercise — it’s a conversation with people who actually understand materials, and who’ll tell you honestly if a cheaper or more sustainable option exists, even if it means recommending less than you’re currently buying.

Book your free packaging review

    Is the packaging review really free?

    Yes — there’s no charge and no obligation to buy anything afterwards.

    Can you review packaging for a small business, or is this only for large orders?

    We work with businesses of all sizes — this service exists to help you use the right packaging, not to push a minimum order.

    Do I need to send you my packaging?

    It helps, but isn’t essential. Photos, specs, or samples of what you currently use are all useful starting points.

    How long does a packaging review take?

    Most reviews can be completed within a few days of us receiving your current packaging details or samples.
