How seasonal events effect the packing industry

Published on Thursday, Feb 04 2016 Seasonal events such as Christmas, Easter and Valentine’s Day are wonderful occasions for bringing people together, giving gifts and showing love and appreciation for those around you. However, they can also be stressful too with so much to organise, including the buying and sending of presents before the big day. No industry has a busier time than the packing industry as these seasonal events send the industry into overdrive! Every year in the UK over 80 million Easter Eggs are produced, packaged and sold. This equates to an extremely large amount of packaging, particularly cardboard and plastic. In many cases, the amount of packaging used actually outweighs the product itself and it is considered just as important as the egg itself, especially for Easter Eggs targeting children. We know that around 3000 tonnes of cardboard packaging is used specifically for Easter Eggs in the UK at Easter each year, therefore we expect the packaging industry to see the annual peak in sales and demand. The packaging industry welcomes seasonal events because of the revenue and growth opportunities. Due to the high demand set, we plan ahead and prepare for a high amount of orders to supply clients with the highest standard of products. We supply cardboard and foam packaging for a wide variety of businesses throughout the UK, all of which are active during these seasonal events, processing orders placed by customers hoping to receive them in time to give to friends or family. We know clients want their products to be delivered in the safest possible way, therefore we take measures to ensure all orders pass through our rigorous ISO led quality assurance inspections.
