Single source corrugated packaging and how it benefits customers

12th Dec 2025

Sourcing your corrugated packaging can require a multi-faceted approach to ensure all operational requirements are met. However, customers should be reassured that choosing Boxes and Packaging as your single source corrugated packaging supplier means pretty much every type of corrugated packaging your operations and business may require, can be designed, manufactured and supplied by us.

 

What do we mean by single source packaging?

 

Single source packaging refers to the practice of obtaining all your corrugated packaging needs from one supplier, rather than sourcing different packaging products from multiple vendors. This approach streamlines procurement, enhances quality control, and simplifies logistics, offering customers greater consistency and efficiency in their packaging operations.

 

Our teams work with customers to guide them from the initial enquiry through to the finished product and we do this by understanding how your corrugated packaging integrates into your business, understanding exactly what you need, how it needs to perform and how we can ensure your packaging supports your operations and despatch.

 

Why does it work for customers?

 

Single source packaging works for customers because it reduces administrative burdens by eliminating the need to coordinate with multiple suppliers, each with their own processes and timelines.

 

By partnering with a single provider, customers benefit from streamlined communication, more reliable supply chains and service levels which help with their operations and any challenges they may face.

 

Additionally, it allows for a more unified approach to quality assurance, ensuring that all packaging meets consistent standards and specifications, which ultimately leads to fewer errors and greater customer satisfaction.

 

Recognising the importance of ensuring a seamless packaging supply – often the link between the end of the manufacturing process and the onward journey of product – our teams offer a level of service, group support and vertical integration that negates the need for more than once source of corrugated packaging supply.
