Industrial packaging is essential if you manufacture, distribute, or export heavy-duty parts or products or those that are particularly high-value.
Industrial packaging protects larger, heavier industrial products during transportation. It typically uses double- or triple-wall cardboard but also commonly incorporates foam, timber, plastics, and other materials.
At Suttons Performance Packaging, we can provide a broad range of bespoke, fully optimised industrial packaging. Our design-led approach ensures your packaging is tailored to your products, parts, or components, providing optimum protection throughout the entire shipping cycle and eliminating costly damage.
At Suttons Performance Packaging, we manufacture a range of industrial and heavy-duty packaging at our UK production facility, and can also supply various additional options (such as branded protective cases).
Industrial packaging is specifically engineered to protect, store, and transport goods. Manufacturers typically use it in large quantities to ship parts and products between production sites, distribution centres and B2B customers. Unlike consumer packaging, its focus is on durability, safety, and efficiency rather than aesthetics.
Industrial packaging covers a broad spectrum of product types. It includes conventional and heavy-duty corrugated packaging, timber cases, foam inserts and padding, returnable packs (such as Euro Containers), specialist cases, and even metal and plastic drums.
Whilst aesthetics are a secondary concern in industrial packaging, it can still be wise to add print. Branding provides free advertising as your packs move through the supply chain, while, more importantly, safety and handling instructions can help to ensure contents are protected.
Many businesses use industrial packaging to export their parts and products. Whilst standard industrial packaging provides the required levels of durability and protection, there may be other considerations to take into account. Most notably, any timber used for cases or pallets should be ISPM15 certified.
At Suttons Performance Packaging, we design, manufacture, and supply a wide range of heavy-duty and industrial packaging options. These include widely used double- and triple-wall boxes, but we also have expertise in multi-material composite packs. Our in-house manufacturing capability extends to custom flight cases and engineered foam inserts, and we can also supply a range of branded protective cases.
Our heavy-duty conversion machinery is state-of-the-art and volume flexible, making short runs extremely affordable and higher volumes competitively priced, regardless of the material, design, or solution proposed.
Almost all the industrial packaging we supply is fully bespoke, allowing us to meet any specific requirements you may have. Our ultimate aim is always to provide the optimum industrial packaging solution for your business.
