  • Packaging and Peak Season: Why Q4 Planning Starts Now

    Packaging and Peak Season: Why Q4 Planning Starts Now

    Packaging and the Peak Season, why you should begin planning now…

    Q4 is never just another quarter. It is the most intense, most scrutinised, and most unforgiving period of the year. Margins tighten. Timelines shrink. Risk tolerance disappears. 

    Packaging may not always be the first thing discussed in meetings, but if it is not in place when volume spikes, your supply chain suffers. It holds products, protects margins, and underpins performance across every stage of the supply chain.

    And yet year after year packaging strategy’s are left until late.

    As you prepare for your busiest quarter, packaging should be more than a last-minute check. It needs your attention now. 

    The pressure is starting to build across the supply chain

    From food and consumer goods to construction and manufacturing, the entire supply chain prepares for Q4 long before October. According to the British Packaging Federation, seasonal demand increases packaging volumes across the UK by around 30 percent in the final quarter alone. 

    In some sectors, that figure is significantly higher. For large ecommerce retailers, Black Friday week alone can generate volumes that are 70 percent above they yearly average. Logistics providers begin limiting capacity from mid-November. Carriers impose surcharges and booking deadlines. Lead times double. Material stock runs low. And once you are inside the bottleneck, there is little room to manoeuvre.

    Your packaging order is not just a purchase. It is a piece of operational infrastructure. Without it, stock cannot be shipped, workflows come to a standstill, and costs begin to increase.

    Lead times are longer than you think

    Packaging suppliers may give an indicative lead time of one or two weeks in quieter months. But that changes quickly in Q4.

    Once demand spikes, those same orders can take four to six weeks or longer, particularly if you require any of the following:

    • Custom print or artwork 
    • Multi-format box sets 
    • Biodegradable or FSC-certified stock
    • Oversized or none standard boxes 

    They require production slots, tooling checks, and transport planning. For many manufacturers close of for bespoke orders is mid October. And some require commitment even earlier.

    When you leave packaging to the last moment, you are no longer buying what you want, you are buying what is left.

    Emergency packaging creates cost

    Late packaging orders do more than increase stress. They increase the cost of your entire operation.

    When you are forced into reactive sourcing, you lose the power of negotiation, prices go up, volumes are inconsistent, and shipping costs increase. And worst of all, time is spent trying to fight challenges instead of focusing on performance.

    Packaging related errors contribute to over £2 billion in annual waste across the UK supply chain (according to WRAP) much of which is avoidable. It stems from incorrect sizing, over-ordering, mislabelling, and damage in transit, and many of those issues trace back to rushed, last-minute decisions.

    But early packaging planning allows for testing, refinement, training and alignment, these are activities that reduce waste, avoid rework, and free up time when you need it most.

    Q4 no time for trial and error

    Procurement teams that perform well in Q4 have one thing in common; They plan ahead, and know their packaging and products.

    They know which box fits what product, they know how labels align with systems, they know what stock is available, what has been tested, and how long packaging takes to replenish. 

    Being this certain doesn’t come by chance, it happens when decisions are made early enough to be tested, communicated and applied across the entire operation.

    Packaging has become part of your brand

    Customers do not see your internal planning. They see the result of it, and they see what arrives. The condition of the product inside, the quality of the labelling, and the ease of the unpacking. And increasingly, the sustainability of the materials used.

    According to Deloittes’s UK Consumer tracker, 57 percent of consumers say they are more likely to remain loyal to a brand that delivers orders in good condition, with appropriate, sustainable packaging. These expectations are not limited to B2C, in B2B markets, procurement teams and buyers are now assessing supplier professionalism through every physical touchpoint.

    conveyor belt from above

    Sustainability is not something you shouldn’t consider

    The shift towards sustainable packaging is not slowing down. But sustainable options often come with longer lead times, more complex supply chains, and additional certification requirements. Making early planning even more critical.

    If your Q4 packaging needs to align with sustainability targets, now is the time to get ahead of that process. Whether you are looking at recycled content, plastic reduction, compostable materials, or carbon footprint tracking, your suppliers need time to support you. Rushed ordering limits your choices and makes it harder to meet your own ESG goals. By acting early, you protect both your supply chain and your environmental commitments. 

    The most effective teams are not just sourcing their packaging, they are integrating it into their wider Q4 strategy:

    • Finalising forecasts and looking at volumes 
    • Reviewing specifications for fit and function 
    • Standardising any formats where they can 
    • Building back up stock or plans 
    • Securing branded and bespoke prints now 
    • Confirming that the packaging is aligned with meeting sustainability goals

    The packaging you choose is not only their for protection, it’s about preparation, and for Q4 that should be today.

    By organising your packaging early, it gives you the space to breathe, it reduces costs, removes last-minute risk, and improves performance and efficiency. Whether you are a manufacturer shipping parts, a distributor fulfilling contracts, or a retailer gearing up for your busiest months, your packaging needs to be in place before the pressure arrives. Not during it.

  • Why Labels and Boxes Deserve a Place in Your Procurement Strategy

    Why Labels and Boxes Deserve a Place in Your Procurement Strategy

    Why labels and boxes deserve a place in your procurement strategy…

    In a fast-moving, cost conscious supply chain, it’s important to have your packing process and packaging strategy right. 

    Boxes and labels are rarely the star of the show, but they are essential for supply chain performance. They affect how quickly you can pack and ship, how reliably products arrive, how smoothly your warehouse runs, and how your brand is perceived when the goods are opened. Done well, they simply function. Done poorly, and they interrupt the entire process.

    For those managing the operations, and especially those managing multi-SKU or high-volume operations, the challenge is not sourcing packaging, it is selecting packaging that reduces waste, enhances efficiency, and is consistent throughout the supply chain.

    Getting the box size right is more strategic than it sounds

    A box is not just a container, it is a variable cost, a risk factor, and a logistics decision all in one. An oversized box adds volume to every consignment, increasing transport costs, warehouse space, and reliance on void fill. Undersized boxes damage contents, generate returns, and frustrate your packing team. Across high volumes of products, those inefficiencies add up quickly. Specifying the right box size across your range is not just an operational decision, it’s a strategic one. It reduces waste, improves palletisation, and enables automation further down the line. It also simplifies training, reduces decision fatigue on the packing floor, and increases during peak times. The best suppliers will support you with box calculators, data-led optimisation, and clear guidance on box strength and board grade based on real-word applications.

    Labels drive speed, traceability, and trust 

    Labels are a key feature to every product journey. They guide what gets picked, how it is packed, and where it goes. When labels are poorly specified, misaligned with scanning systems, or unsuited to environmental conditions, errors multiply. They are also one of the most common sources of delay in otherwise well managed operations.

    High-performance labelling starts with understanding your workflow. Thermal labels may suit some SKU’s, but not all, some adhesives might damage surfaces, while removable labels may not stay put during transit. Durability, legibility, adhesive type, and print method all a roll in getting this right. Beyond logistics, labels also contribute to compliance, from batch numbers and expiry dates to allergen statements and tracking data, labels carry information that must remain visible and intact throughout the supply chain. A low-cost label that fails in transit becomes expensive very quickly.

    Postal boxes

    Procurement has a role in presentation

    Customer experience is no longer solely reliant on sales or marketing. Increasingly procurement plays a part in shaping what the end customer sees and feels. Packaging is now part of the equation. When a product arrives well protected, clearly labelled, and professionally presented, it strengthens trust. When it arrives poorly packed, visibly damaged, or with inconsistent branding, it weakens it. That applies whether you are supplying luxury goods or critical components. Selecting the right box and label supplier ensures consistency at scale. It also enables you to meet branding standards, use sustainable materials, and minimise unnecessary packaging. For many businesses, it becomes an extension of quality control. 

    Supporting your people not just your process

    Packaging choices are not just about materials. They are also about how people work with those materials. When the right box is easy to assemble, or the correct label is easy to peel and apply, you save seconds on every action. That efficiency builds over time and reduces fatigue across packing teams. Consistent formats, fit-for-purpose materials, and pre-agreed specifications also reduce training needs, help to onboard new staff faster, and reduces the likelihood of rework. That translates into better morale, fewer mistakes, and more capacity without adding headcount. In short good and well utilised packaging simplifies tasks. it helps your teams move faster, with fewer decisions and fewer errors.

    Standardisation results in much better forecasting

    Another overlooked benefit of reviewing packaging choices is the role they play in procurement forecasting. When you standardise boxes and labels across a range of SKU’s or consolidate our requirements into a manageable set of formats, it becomes easier to track usage, negotiate pricing, and manage stock levels with your supplier. You also gain clearer data on packaging cost per unit, and better visibility of where opportunities are to reduce cost without compromising on protection or performance. This in turn helps make procurement less reactive and more predictive.

    If you are reviewing packaging, start with the elements that seem most straightforward. Because the decisions around box size and label type are often the ones that drive the greatest hidden cost. They influence time, accuracy, sustainability, customer satisfaction, and internal efficiency.

  • Why Consolidating Your Packaging Suppliers is Beneficial For Business in 2025

    Why Consolidating Your Packaging Suppliers is Beneficial For Business in 2025

    Having one supplier for all of your packaging needs…

    Having one supplier providing all of the packaging you use is a strategic decision for businesses, not only for better operational efficiencies but a number of other benefits; cost savings, sustainability, and consistency are just some of these. 

    In todays landscape, optimising every part of your supply chain is crucial, and centralising your packaging to one supplier can have a positive impact on your success.

    Here are a range of benefits you’ll see from using one supplier, and why they will significantly enhance your business:

    • Cost Savings: By working with one packaging supplier you can potentially reduce your costs in a range of ways. Volume discounts; these are often the most immediate benefit, with one supplier you can leverage negotiations over a broad range of products. Reduction in shipping cost; One packaging supplier results in fewer deliveries, leading you to substantial savings on transport. Lower administrative overheads; fewer invoices, purchase orders, and supplier communication,  all contribute to lower administration for procurement departments. 
    • Reduced Admin and Shipping Costs: If your team are managing multiple suppliers, they’ll likely they’ll be dealing with a variety of admin tasks; invoicing, schedules, and communication channels. Using one supplier can reduce the amount of resource taken up with admin, and apply this resource to better use within the organisation. Amongst these admin tasks is also juggling shipping schedules and payments, you could significantly lower both of these by having a sole packaging supplier, because of fewer shipments and the use of different carrier networks.
    • Improved Efficiencies and Streamlined Operations: By consolidating to one packaging supplier you can simplify the management, processing orders is less complex, issues are resolved faster, and operation structures remain better in place. Other stages of the management and operational account maintenance, ave additional benefits for using one packaging partner, you are able to more easily integrate systems that need to be shared for stock ordering, this leads to better and more accurate forecasting, inventory management, and overall supply chain visibility.

A trusted single supplier is more likely to collaborate with you effectively, developing bespoke packaging solutions, explore innovative ideas, and provide insights to the latest developments within the packaging industry.

    The decision to use a single or multiple packaging suppliers depends on your specific business needs, risk tolerance, and criticality of the packaging to your operations. For many businesses, the benefits of streamlined and efficient operations, cost savings, and a strong supplier partnership, helps businesses to reach their goals, and keep their supply chain optimised.

  • Design Your Box for Better Shipping

    Design Your Box for Better Shipping

    Boxes are an essential part of your distribution, they play a vital role in protecting your products during transit, ensuring goods arrive undamaged to your customers…

     

    The ecommerce and fulfilment industry has seen exceptional growth over recent years, and supply chains have become a complex part of the growth, although it is difficult to get a precise number for boxes shipped throughout the UK, the number is likely to be hundreds of millions, if not billions, and getting your box right for a journey in the expanding and fast paced distribution network is essential…

    There are huge benefits to making sure your box is the right fit for your product when being shipped across the UK.

    • Cost: Even the lightest box can incur extra costs, if your boxes take up space, the size itself can make it more costly to deliver. Couriers charge on sizing as well. Packaging an item into a box that is to big comes at a cost. Reducing the size can result in significant savings.
    • Damage: Thousands of products are damaged during transit, due to rough handling and packaging that gives products to much room to move. This results in hundreds of customers being refunded and huge losses to businesses. Damage doesn’t just impact initial financial costs, but also brand reputation and customer experience.
    • Poor customer experience: Whether it is due to damage or or excessive packaging, the unboxing experience you create through your packaging can have either negative or positive impact on your brand. Excessive packaging makes it difficult for customers to dispose of, and can even cause frustration due to unnecessary waste. Custom and bespoke box designs can take away the hassle of to much packaging, keeping it simple for your customers. 
    • Sustainability: By designing your box to meet the specific requirements of the product that’s being packed, you will significantly reduce the amount of packaging you use. Customising your box can potentially take away the need for other packaging materials, inserts that fit around your product provide protection and support in transit, by stopping the product from movement and shifting, and take away the need for fillers and padding.
    • Increased efficiencies: Save time with a better design, boxes that need extra materials to fill  them, or additional packing, take up time and valuable resource. Designing a box that is tailored to your product means easier handling and is faster for employees to pack. Your overall operation will benefit from more efficiencies; storage space could be increased through better design and less material.

    The benefits of using the right box for your products and shipments are potentially huge, saving costs on shipments, better protected products, increased efficiencies, better customer satisfaction and retention, and reduce waste.

  • Hand Pallet Wrapping Equipment

    Hand Pallet Wrapping Equipment

    Why great equipment matters when you wrap pallets by hand…

    Wrapping pallets by hand may seem like a straightforward and simple task, but in the fast paced world of logistics, it’s a critical part of your distribution process. Ensuring the safety of your products during the last mile delivery. Hand pallet wrapping equipment impacts; efficiency, cost, and even safety. By using a high quality hand pallet wrapping dispenser you can enhance the way in which your entire supply chain operates. 

    Bolt Dispenser

    The hidden costs of poor hand pallet wrapping…

    Wasted Film: When pallets are wrapped using a poor hand pallet wrapping technique, or equipment that is not up to scratch, you find yourself using more film. Why? Because by using a standard hand pallet wrapping piece of equipment, you aren’t able to achieve the same tension or stability, resulting in you applying more layers of film. Hand pallet wrapping dispensers like BOLT you can change the wrapping tension, resulting in only using the amount of pallet wrap you need.

    Poor Use of Resource: If your team are hand wrapping pallets with standard equipment, they’re probably doing twice as much work. This is because the standard hand pallet wrapping dispenser is not as ergonomic as the BOLT hand pallet wrapping dispenser. It’s lightweight and requires no bending down during film application, which increases productivity and better use of resources, lowering labour costs.

    Inconsistent Wrapping: Standard hand pallet wrapping equipment can cause inconsistent wrapping because it lacks features such as adjustable tension, the ability to use pre-stretched film, or an ergonomic grip. The BOLT hand pallet wrapping dispenser  

    Safety: Poor equipment used for hand pallet wrapping can pose a safety risk to employees. This is because pallets that are wrapped with basic hand pallet wrapping dispensers provide less stability and can cause operator fatigue and strain.

    Efficient and reliable hand pallet wrapping is essential for supply chain success. Investing in high quality hand pallet wrapping equipment makes it easier to maximise resource, lower costs, boost efficiency, and increase customer satisfaction. 

    By using the BOLT hand pallet wrapping dispenser, you’ll benefit from:

    • Optimised film usage 
    • Improved efficiency 
    • Enhanced load stability
    • Safer work practices 
    It is important to perform regular pallet stability audits, to ensure techniques and products are up to date and relevant to your packing operations.

  • What is Extended Producer Responsibility?

    What is Extended Producer Responsibility?

    EPR 2025, What is it and how will it impact your business?

    Extended Producer Responsibility is in place with an aim of putting greater responsibility onto businesses and how they manage their packaging waste. The result of putting EPR in place is businesses will bear a greater responsibility for what their packaging costs the environment, and how they offset the cost of recycling into the UK waste system, rather than concern on the way you are disposing of your waste the empasis is on the packaging you are handling as a business..

    Key Points:

    • EPR concerns the amount of packaging which a business handles, it’s sustainability throughout the supply chain and how it is disposed of.
    • Businesses must calculate the packaging waste they create, and then fund its recycling within the UK.

    Who does this impact?

    • Businesses that have an annual turnover that is exceeding £1 million 
    • Are you handling more than 25 tonnes of packaging per year? If you are, you are eligible for EPR.

    What about smaller businesses?

    Those that are below the threshold are not required to register. However it is important that smaller businesses do monitor packaging usage and check annually their packaging waste.

    If you are under the thresholds you will not need to register.
