With GWP Packaging's vast experience of corrugated cardboard, we realise that packaging should
always provide a reliable level of performance.
It should protect your product or equipment through the distribution cycle, perform smoothly
on packing lines and be aesthetically pleasing.
As such, we take pride in offering a design process which is second to none.
Initially, a member of experienced and knowledgeable sales tem will visit our client to ascertain
the exact requirements and challenges facing the packaging and the items to be protected.
Equally, we are always happy to welcome clients to our Wiltshire production facility to see
our operations first hand and talk through a new project on site.
Following this, our expert in house design team will then create a conceptual design,
utilizing the latest CAD software and systems.
This can include the use of software allowing precise calculations of performance, to increase
strength, protection and lifespan and reduce costs through material savings to provide
a truly innovative solution.
After conceptual approval of a design, a pre production sample will be created for final
approval.
This ensures that all GWP packaging will be right first time, every time -- eliminating
costly mistakes and missed deadlines.
The next step will involve the creation of cutting forms for use in production of the
packaging.
The design, manufacture and quality control of our production tooling ensures accuracy
and consistent quality throughout the production process.
At this stage, if logos, instruction or branding is required, the necessary printing plates
will also be created.
With everything in place, the production process can begin.
Offering a wide range of flexible production methods, we can ensure that the most cost
effective and efficient process is used for each individual order while always ensuring
the highest possible quality.
Following the manufacture being planned into our production facility, this can involve...
Die Cutting
Rotary die cutting
Case-Making
Multi-point Gluing & Crash-lock Assembly
Hand finishing and assembly
Production of foam end caps and inserts, or environmentally friendly "corri spring" corrugated
cushion packaging
Flexographic printing of logos and instructions
As well as additional surface finishes, including Spectrumcoat to any pantone colour, Corstat
conductive coating, liquiguard waterproofing and Fireretard for improved flame resistance,
all from our in house, GWP Coatings division.
With the manufacture of the packaging finished, and stringent quality checks completed, we
will either deliver to the client immediately or offer our pioneering Just In Time service.
This entails GWP holding stock of both finished packaging and raw materials in our own premises,
allowing them to be called off in smaller, pre-agreed quantities as and when required.
For the client, this reduces the space and cost associated with managing stocks on site,
as well as providing significant cash-flow benefits.
By monitoring stock levels and usage patterns, we are also able to maintain an agreed stock
level and vastly reduce lead times on deliveries.
Customers can then schedule deliveries of their packaging exactly when it is required
through our unique, easy to use online ordering system, cutting down on administration costs,
time and effort.
By following this process, each and every one of customers receives cost effective,
high performance packaging that is tailored to the specific application, is supplied just
in time, and will provide a truly engineered level of protection.
