Happy 2012 . . .

. . . to all Grosvenor Packaging customers old and new!

We had some exciting design projects to work on in 2011 and when we gain new business – and save you money – by design or supply ideas, that’s when we know we’re doing something right!

We had a very positive year with year on year sales up 10%. It’s been a steady and comfortable growth and we’ve invested well. We can now produce large die-cuts much more efficiently so if there’s something you think we should be looking at now’s the time to give us a call…

On top of our usual system we’ve also invested heavily in an intensive maintenance and refurbishment programme for the factory. This aims to ensure minimum breakdowns and maximum efficiencies for every machine. From your point of view that means one thing – reliability!

November also saw our first annual ISO audit and I’m pleased to announce that we passed with flying colours.

2012 will bring its own challenges I’m sure. As a manufacturer we plan to continue to increase our level of efficiency in all areas so we can bring the most cost effective solutions to your packaging issues – and maintain the flexibility that gives you the service you’re used to!

So good luck to you all for the year ahead. May it be an eventful and fruitful 12 months for us all.

All the Best!

Point-of-Sale Displays – A small counter-top display is proven to massively improve sales of your product. Customer ‘C’ once described themselves as a small cottage industry supplying their product on-line to end-users. With a bespoke counter-top display designed by Grosvenor Packaging supplied to a number of retail outlets in the UK their sales have more than doubled over a 2 year period!

Increased All-Round Efficiencies - By optimising the pack size savings can be made all round reducing transport or storage costs and increasing packing speeds. Customer ‘A’ was packing an expensive piece of computer hardware into the best fitting box available to them, protected with a lot of bubblewrap. After Grosvenor Packaging assessed their packaging they now use a bespoke box with corrugated fittings, which not only protects the product better, it also takes time out of the packing process and reduces their courier costs!

Aesthetic Pack Design – Continuity in pack design throughout your packaging range improves your company image. Customer ‘D’ thought they couldn’t afford bespoke packaging until their first meeting with Grosvenor Packaging. The last 3 years has seen a complete range of packaging develop, all using the same basic structural design and printed up with their logo. Their products are now recognised globally within their industry.

Protective Packaging – Mail order packaging that is courier-proof! Save on expensive returns and damaged goods. Customer ‘B’ had problems transporting a brittle concrete moulding to various customers throughout the UK and Ireland. The cost of breakages outweighed any profit margin on that product. Grosvenor Packaging came up with a simple yet effective pack design which eliminated the breakages – and there was a saving for them on the pack price too!

Packaging In The News

“Burying our rubbish in huge pits in the ground is no longer an option in the 21st Century, says Stuart Wardlaw. In this week’s Green Room, he argues that a range of measures – some more popular than others – is needed if the UK is going to get on top of its waste problem.

Our consumer culture does nothing to help our overflowing landfills. Research reveals that Britain is still considered the “dustbin of Europe” because it is still dumping more household waste into landfill than any other EU nation.

It threw away a staggering 22.6 million tonnes of rubbish in 2004/5; in fact, Britain sent the same amount to landfill as the 18 EU countries with the lowest landfill rates combined, despite these places having twice the population of the UK.

Britain’s failure to invest in the more sustainable waste management practices based on the three Rs – re-use, recycle and recovery – has lead to an excessive dependence on landfill. But these days are fast disappearing. ”
