Corrugated cardboard boxes
Innovative sustainable packaging solutions for all design requirements.
Corrugated cardboard packaging is widely recognised as the go-to sustainable packaging solution. Corrugated cardboard is made up of three elements, concertina, fluting, evenly and firmly sandwiched between two layers of paper, giving the material its strength.
At Saxon Packaging, we pride ourselves on being one of East Anglia’s (Suffolk and Norfolk) most turned-to cardboard packaging manufacturers and are proud of our growing list of valued partners.
Along with bespoke packaging designs, we can manufacture most standard FEFCO recognised corrugated cardboard boxes, cases and packaging cartons to any required quantity and to a high quality.

Do I need to order a minimum quantity?
We don’t have a minimum order quantity. We have the ability to produce ‘one-offs’ and low volumes if required, but we do have cost-effective minimum order quantities which are determined by the area of material used, material type, style of box and print requirement.
Can you explain price per 1000?
If you have a price for 1000 boxes @ £550 / 1000, imagine it as a unit cost of 55p each. Likewise a quote for £700 /1000 equates at 70p each.
What are cutting forme and stereo costs?
Cutting formes are used to cut the packaging into the correct shape. Stereos are used for flexo printed packaging. This enables the packaging to be printed bespoke to the client’s requirement. Both the ‘cutting forme’ and the ‘stereo’ belong to the customer.
Do you hold stock of corrugated boxes, cases and cartons?
We do not hold stock but we do hold materials and cutting tools to provide a fast turnaround on some of the most frequently used packaging lines.
Can you work with us to design a pack from scratch and bespoke to my needs?
Yes, we pride ourselves on working closely with our customers from consulting to design and through to the finished product. We have an in-house design team who are able to design packaging solutions specific to your requirements.
How do I know which print option is right for my requirement?
It all depends on the artwork complexity, number of colours required and quantity of packaging. Our infographic guide to print processes will help steer your required option, but a member of our sales team will always discuss the various options with you to ensure the print option is the most economical and of the required quality.
