• Plastic Tax

    Written in 2022, I guess we were right about it increasing as it now stands at £217.85 tonne + VAT and will raise every April.

    Whilst the PPT is levied @ £200 tonne, the true cost is £240 tonne given that the Government has decreed that VAT be added. Some will argue that by charging the PPT this will help reduce Polythene consumption, others will say that by charging VAT the Government is also directly benefiting. Whilst there is not yet a suitable alternative, whatever your thoughts are, the tax is here to stay and will no doubt increase as time passes.

  • BRCGS

    Proudly holding AA BRCGS accreditation since 2014, from raw materials to finished product, we utilise the latest technology to extrude / convert an extensive range of polythene products to the highest possible specification in the quickest possible time, thus helping us meet our customer’s requirements when they need it most.

We know that our customers are seeking to use the most environmentally friendly materials. Ongoing product development in conjunction with our raw material suppliers allows us to offer a variety of grades from LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, MDPE to Blends and Recycled Content (using our own waste to ensure consistent quality of film) be it the minimum 30% to comply with the Plastic Packaging Tax, to, in certain products, being produced from 100% fully recycled material.

The wide variety of materials available results in the potential for gauge reduction without the loss of strength or compromising the sealing or other characteristics. All Polythene is based on a unit weight, therefore, in most cases, the less Polythene you can use not only equates to potential cost savings but also has a positive impact on your environmental footprint.  

Whilst it is not suitable for every product, we use recycled material wherever possible however, many applications, such as the Food and Textile industries require the use of virgin grade polymers thus incurring the PPT charge. There are however, many products that can be produced using a mix of virgin / recycled materials.

In addition to the huge stock range we hold, we can manufacture every conceivable style of Carton, plain or printed, in a variety of board strengths from Single Wall to Double Wall - the options we can offer are limitless.

We also hold in stock the BDCM range for fashion distribution and Die Cut (Pizza box style) cartons ideally suited to the E-Commerce and retail sector.

Internal fittings / dividers are often required, not only can we supply these but we also supply Layer Pads to separate goods when packed on a pallet.

In recent years board quality has, as a cost saving measure, been constantly downgraded. We very often find that those savings are not passed to the customer and / or the customer is suffering quality issues due to the reduced specification.

We would be delighted to quote for your requirements. Ideally, we would like to see samples of what you are currently buying which will enable us to determine the board specification and quote accordingly.
