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 specialist packaging.
Specialist packaging covers any types of packaging not typically used or readily available. Besides products such as spools, coatings, and inserts, this can also include any unique, custom designed packaging, or composite (multi-material) packs.
Macfarlane Packaging, as the UK’s largest packaging distributors, can source a vast range of specialist packaging for our customers. However, with in-house design teams, plus our own manufacturing facilities, we can also create packaging that is tailored very specifically to your product, application, or market.
Specialist packaging often sees material substitutions and innovative use of these. For example, cardboard spools are often suitable for replacing plastic reels. Expert packaging designers can often replace plastic inserts with corrugated fittings as well.
