Materials We Work With:

  • What technical materials do you manufacture with? Corrugated cardboard is our core expertise. We stock a comprehensive range of flutes, from precision N and E flutes for retail to heavy-duty Kraft grades for industrial transit. We also manufacture in durable plastics, including Correx (corriboard) and Priplak, for high-resilience B2B applications.
  • Can you work with non-standard materials? Yes. If our specialised machinery can process the substrate, we are eager to innovate. We regularly collaborate on bespoke projects involving unique materials – please contact our Edinburgh design team to discuss your technical requirements.
