Who We Are

We’ve been boxing longer than Mike Tyson and we were (w)rapping before Stormzy was born. ESC Packaging started 45 years ago from a spare bedroom. Now a fourth generation family business working with partners across the globe, we are experts in our field, and our values have never changed. Personal service, customer focused, and family centred, with a strong ethical and environmental ethos.

Whether you want off the shelf packaging or a full bespoke packaging range for your business…we offer a knock out service!

Our Packaging Partners

The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker… What do they all have in common? As well as featuring in a 14th century rhyme, they are also all customers of ESC. From food producers to gift makers, we are in our fifth decade of creating packaging for them all.

We are proud to be the exclusive packaging provider for McCaskie’s, esteemed National Butcher Shop Winner 2023 – congratulations to McCaskie’s on their recent win!

We also have the pleasure of working with other industry leaders, such as S. Collins, James Chapman Butchers, and Hugh Black & Sons.

Carri (Managing Director), and the ESC Packaging team 😊

At ESC Packaging we have decades of experience in building brands so whatever stage your business is at we can jump on board and help you. 

Whether you are a brand new start up or an established trader looking to rebrand or add a new range we can help with the process.

YOU HAVE THE INSPIRATION BUT DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START?

You have the product but no idea how to package it – no problem, that’s our bag – or box! We can help you think about where your product might be sold, whether it will sit on shelves, hang from hooks, need protective packaging or simple tag or sticker.

HONING THE VISION

We will chat through packaging options with you including your budget, your storage capacity, how quickly you need packaging delivered, what your brand priorities are in terms of luxury, eco credentials and competitor products.

MARKET RESEARCH

We can assist with looking at what else is on the market similar to your product, help with focus groups and market research to get customer feedback on what is winning and what needs work with your brand.

LET’S GET CREATIVE

It’s time to spin the colour wheel and look at logos, branding, images and more. Let’s give your brand a voice, a name, an image and a look. We can create custom artwork for you to approve along with CAD designs to start bringing your packaging to life.

THE ADMIN

The design is nailed down, it’s time to look at pricing, production and product costs. A long lead time for a large order means cheaper prices per unit but you may want smaller numbers, a more local production or a faster turnaround. We can lay out all of your options so you can look at costs, stock holding and more for your business projections.

FROM PROTOTYPE TO MASS PRODUCTION

From holding the first prototype of your packaging in your hands to seeing a full delivery of packaging arriving, with regular delivery updates and clear communication all the way.

ESC is here for every stage of your packaging journey – talk to us about your needs and see how we can help.
