The Packaging Project

We collaborate with brands and retailers to produce beautiful, carefully considered packaging with a focus on sustainability.

Doesn't cost the Earth

Through intelligent design and the responsible selection of materials and finishes, we work to create packaging which elevates brand identity but doesn’t cost the Earth.

We Promise

We are honest, work with integrity, and never greenwash. Enhancing brand image within an ethical and sustainable framework is what excites our small but capable team, and is at the heart of everything we do.

Small is Beautiful

We offer the same high standards of care, advice and choice to all our customers. We believe that change for the greater good is equally driven by start-ups and small enterprise as it is by big business. The Packaging Project is equally adept at supplying independents as it is multi-nationals.

Reassuringly Experienced

For over 30 years, our founder Pete Turner’s love of contemporary culture, fashion and design, and the amazing material that is paper, has led him to work with businesses ranging from boutique independent retailers to international luxury brands.

This experience perfectly places The Packaging Project as a consultant supplier of beautifully designed, carefully considered packaging to brands and individuals who have a desire to make change for the better.

Make Responsibly

Whilst ensuring we always offer the very best value, producing ethically created products of quality is paramount to us. We only work with accredited partners who invest in their people and facilities, and who share our principles.

We prefer to specify, and encourage the use of, responsible materials such as FSC accredited recycled content papers and board, compostable pulp and organic fabrics and finishes including water or vegetable-based inks and varnishes, and vegan foils.

Brand with Conscience

The act of unwrapping should be a memorable, multi-sensory experience that contributes positively to your brand.

Consumers increasingly evaluate brands based on factors including the sustainability of packaging. Choice of materials, reusability, the ease of recycling, and wastefulness are all key considerations.

We provide an open-minded consultation, design and production service with these criteria immersed in our thinking.

Less is More

We can all benefit from reducing our carbon footprint.

Size does matter. So, with careful assessment we can reduce pack sizes, variants, and material usage to an optimum, rethink the complexity of fastenings and finishes, and whenever possible manufacture locally.

This equates to less material, less volume, less weight, less energy consumption, and less pollution. Which equals less packaging, less transportation and less cost for you.

How it Works

1. REVIEW

Understand and make recommendations on your packaging needs in terms of functional requirements, and the brand message you’d like to convey. Establish your budget, timeline and delivery requirements.
2. PROTOTYPE

Design the construction, specify materials, finishes and determine the best point of manufacture. Prototype the packaging so you can test its suitability and confidently approve the design.
3. MAKE

Produce your packaging ensuring it meets our rigorous quality standards. Manage the logistics and distribution.
