When you’re managing a busy production line, you should not be worrying about
whether or not your packaging is fit for purpose or, if it will be delivered on time and
in the right quantities.
At Colton Packaging we’ve built our reputation on reliable foundations – establishing
ourselves as a trusted partner for brands across the UK known for the quality of its service
and its packaging solutions.
Supply chains only function when all of their moving parts work in harmony. If one element
fails, the whole chain breaks – leading to costly delays, reputational damage and the risk of
valuable relationships breaking down. Your packaging supplier should never be the reason
your supply chain fails. In this article we explain the importance of forming a relationship with
a trusted partner and why brands commonly place their faith in our team, and our 170+
years of experience.
We understand that packaging is just one piece of a much larger puzzle within a production
schedule. That’s why we go beyond simply designing and supplying packaging solutions.
With our Stock and Serve offering, our team monitors stock levels before either prompting
customers when it’s time to re-order or taking complete control of their packaging inventory.
This allows our customers to focus on production, creating a stress-free solution that keeps
the wheels turning without interruption.
One of the most common frustrations faced by manufacturers is a sudden and unexpected
extension to packaging lead times, throwing carefully planned production schedules into
chaos. Not only does our team ensure that packaging supplies are always topped up ahead
of time, but we also maintain strong, long-standing relationships with a number of core
suppliers – widening our safety net in the event of obstacles and providing our customers
with access to a well connected industry expert. When you choose to work with us,
packaging delays are consigned to the pages of history.
We understand that the real world does not always adhere to a pre-planned schedule.
Sometimes, unexpected spikes in demand leave you with tight lead times to source short
runs of packaging. While alternative suppliers may enforce strict minimum order quantities or
rigid delivery terms, we take a different approach. With our own fleet of vehicles and directly
employed in-house drivers, we’re able to respond quickly to urgent, ad-hoc requests. This
flexibility is one of the core reasons why many of our customers have put their trust in us for
decades.
While bringing a new product to market is exciting, packaging design can often feel like a
daunting hurdle for many brands. That’s where our in-house design team lightens the load.
Simply brief us on the product and what you want to achieve from the design of your
packaging, and we’ll take care of the rest. Whether your goal is to design the ultimate
sustainable solution, maximise shelf appeal, or curate a bespoke transportation vessel which
will revolutionise your marketplace, our experts understand what it takes to craft packaging
that’s tailored to a wide range of products, audiences and brands.
At Colton Packaging, we’re an extension of your team. From proactive stock replenishment
and on-time delivery, to agile response times and full NPD support, we remove the stress
from packaging design – allowing you to focus on what you do best.
Get in touch today to see how we can be the perfect partner for you and your brand.
