At Saxon Packaging, we can customise your packaging box designs to your own size requirements, or you can have our in-house design team assist you with creating packaging specifically designed to current Royal Mail specifications.

With frustration-free packaging at the forefront of our design processes, we are also able to offer Amazon FFP and ISTA Certification via our Experience Centre.

From simple designs displaying your company logo with easy to open tear strips, through to intricate pieces of artwork with multiple perforations; we are able to provide subscription packaging box and print finishes to help create enjoyable experiences for your customers and help turn first time buyers into loyal customers.

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.
