Frequently asked questions

Do you sell packaging to the public or only trade?
Both. You can order everyday lines by quote in sensible pack sizes, and businesses buying regularly or in volume can request a bulk quote or open a trade account for better pricing.
What if you don't stock what I need?
We source a wide range through our supplier network, including custom sizes and printed packaging. Use Request Bulk Quote with your spec and quantity and we'll come back with pricing and lead time.
How much is delivery and how long does it take?
Delivery is calculated by weight, volume and destination and confirmed on your quote. Lead times vary by product and quantity — standard lines are usually quicker to source, made-to-order items follow the supplier's lead time.
Can I get recyclable or plastic-free packaging?
Yes. We carry recyclable, paper-based and compostable options across the range. Availability varies by line — ask us and we'll point you to the right product.
