Our Digital Manager is doing her job when she points out that people who search on the internet for our services are more likely to look for “Packaging” services than “Packing” services. It is a matter of the use of English. What we do is packing, whereas packaging is the stuff that we pack stuff into but people get the word wrong and so they look for packaging and get all sorts of sites that supply boxes and bottles and tape and stuff but not us because we do packing. We are packers of packaging.

It seems pretty obvious that we should describe ourselves as “experts in packing into most sorts of packaging” but  then we get lumped into the huge pile of packaging suppliers and there are so many  different sorts of packaging our packing is actually into quite a limited range of packaging, but we don’t want to say that we are limited, do we?

Actually the packaging we use includes HDPE (High Density Poly Ethylene) and PET (Poly Ethylene Terephthalate) bottles from 50 ml to 25 litres as well as pails (or buckets) with lids from 1 litre  to 25 litres with closures (lids) of different sizes that are screwed in place, tamper-evident, child resistant or induction (or conduction) heat sealed. There can be trigger spray closures too, and we have a supplier who provides triggers that will meet Amazon’s no leak standard. That’s just for packing the liquids into. The powders are another matter. Their packaging can also use pails, jars, pots, tubes, pouches plus block bottom paper bags (like used for packets of flour), polythene bags of any size, woven sacks, triple walled paper sacks, polythene bags inside cardboard boxes, big bags with and without spouts. Of course, the filled packaging usually needs to be packed in some sort of shipping packaging like a corrugated cardboard box. We can do that. In fact we can get boxes made to suit any container and in special cases we can get a bottle made to our own design, so we can do the packing and the packaging!
