Protective products for your business 

We’re here to help you get the packaging you need

As the UK’s largest distributor of protective packaging materials, we can supply an unrivalled range of instrumentation packaging solutions. 

Instrumentation packaging often requires custom solutions for the best protection. We specialise in custom foam, engineered cases and rigid containers designed to cushion sensitive instruments from impact, vibration and environmental hazards during transit and storage.
Yes, bespoke packaging is our core offering. We use CAD design, prototyping, and advanced manufacturing to create packaging that fits the instrument's dimensions.
Our packaging is thoroughly tested for strength, shock absorption, and environmental resistance through drop testing, vibration testing, and environmental tests whilst adhering to ISO 9001 Quality Management standards. Testing ensures that our packaging maintains integrity under real-world conditions.
Sustainable options for instrumentation packaging solutions are available, including corrugated materials, reusable containers and eco-friendly protective inserts.
Packaging can incorporate acti-static foams, moisture barriers, and tamper-evident seals for sensitive electronics or technical instruments.
