materials for paper packaging production
Eco Pack supplies the paper and card required to manufacture paper cups, trays, punnets, cartons, bowls, lids and other food-packaging products.
Material can be supplied as reels or sheets, or printed and converted into blanks ready to feed into your machinery.
Because the material and machine must work together, we help customers consider paper weight, coating, finish, dimensions and forming characteristics alongside their production equipment.

Printing, Cutting and Blanking
Eco Pack can help customers further by arranging printing and conversion for their packaging requirements. Custom printing allows logos, branding, product information and full-colour artwork to be applied before the material is formed into the finished product.
The printed paper or card can then be cut into blanks that match the dimensions and tooling of the production machinery. This reduces the amount of preparation required within your factory and allows material to be supplied ready for production.
Available services include:
Custom printing.
Die-cutting and blanking.
Material supplied to specified dimensions.
Printed reels, sheets or blanks.
Machine-ready material.
Support matching the blank to the machinery and tooling.
CHOOSING MATERIAL THAT WORKS WITH YOUR MACHINERY
Paper and card cannot always be selected independently from the production equipment. Changes in weight, coating, stiffness, moisture or blank dimensions can affect feeding, forming and the consistency of the finished product.
When discussing a material requirement, it is helpful to provide:
The product being manufactured.
Finished product dimensions.
Machine make and model.
Current material specification.
Paper or board weight.
Coating or barrier requirements.
Reel, sheet or blank dimensions.
Printing requirements.
Estimated order volume.
Photographs, drawings or physical samples.
If the final specification has not yet been decided, Eco Pack can help identify the information required to move the project forward.
