At Colton Packaging we take the pain out of the packaging process, allowing you to focus on growing your business and distributing your products on a global scale. We take the time to thoroughly understand our clients’ businesses, listening to their individual needs before delivering on a shared design vision.
Our family has been at the forefront of packaging innovation for 170+ years, with a tailored approach for each customer and product. Our knowledge is unrivalled, allowing us to design and supply corrugated packaging solutions for a wide range of industries – from manufacturing, to food and beverages.
Our Stock and Serve process makes packaging procurement painless. We manage the entire process by working closely with our manufacturing customers to stock bespoke packaging solutions in bulk – creating the ability to call-off smaller quantities on a ‘just-in-time’ basis to suit production and packing schedules. We also proactively replenish stock when it reaches an agreed threshold to maintain continuity of supply.
Stock and Serve also releases valuable warehouse space, allowing customers to only store the packaging they need while future stock is stored in our clean and secure fully racked warehouse. As well as saving space, our customers also benefit from improved cost allocation by only paying on a per-delivery basis – reducing the need for bulk orders.
Businesses place their faith in us because of our heritage, family values and commitment to design and customer service excellence. Packaging has been at the heart of the Colton family since the 1850s, making our industry knowledge unrivalled.
With a dedicated in-house team of designers, account managers and drivers covering the East Midlands and beyond, we serve the needs of businesses seeking to invest in innovative corrugated packaging solutions which maximise brand real estate, simplify transportation and support a sustainable packaging lifecycle. We also complete regular audits in order to adhere to required supply chain standards.
Upon your initial enquiry, we’ll sit down together and discuss how we can fulfil your needs, listening to your pain points to come up with a solution that protects your product and looks good whilst doing it.
Box design forms a vital part of our business because 97% of our products are made bespoke. Once we have agreed on a style, we then need to understand how the package will be handled to determine which board grade to use. We have CAD facilities in house to enable us to design and supply samples for approval.
Once a box has been designed and board grade specified, we oversee the manufacture of your order to ensure production is on time and fulfilled without quality issues.
We can stock your bespoke packaging in bulk which means you call-off smaller quantities of product on a ‘just-in-time’ basis to suit your production and packing schedule. We will replenish the stock when it reaches an agreed threshold to ensure continuity of supply.
