FAST AND ACCURATE PRODUCTION
Since our inception in 1992 The Box Factory has invested heavily in a diverse range of corrugated manufacturing equipment.
Equipment that we purchased in the early years was soon replaced as various technological breakthroughs in printing and feeding corrugated material came onto the market.
Today we operate with some of the most sophisticated machinery in the industry,
capable of producing high quality packaging accurately and at high speeds. Our large format, fast set, versatile machinery has revolutionised the way we produce corrugated cases.
Underlining our commitment to growth, customer service, and forming part of our current investment plan, we recently acquired a large new VEGA multipoint gluer. This significant investment was one that has opened up new markets and provides a higher level of service to our customers, from a creative, quality, and lead time perspective.
All of our manufacturing equipment is linked together via two fully automated pallet transfer lines optimising the latest available materials handling technology from Mosca and Emmepi.
A highly sophisticated computer software system (SPOCS) tracks all materials throughout the factories, incorporating real time reporting of job status and operator feedback. Touch screens are fully utilised in all the factories and warehouses to enable our paperless system to control and collect accurate and concise manufacturing and storage data.
ELIMINATE SOME CONSIDERABLE COSTS BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OUR MANUFACTURING AND STORAGE FACILITIES.
It's a simple case of maths...
If 10% of a 25,000 sq ft factory is taken up with the storage of packaging and the average letting rate per sq ft is £5.00, then this space is costing you £12,500 per annum!!
Why not have 2,500 sq ft of extra production space?
With our business being extremely seasonal, The Box Factory work very closely with us to ensure we always have stock ready to call-off as and when we need it. This is instrumental in ensuring our ever-changing demands are met.

Our fleet of modern, sign written, dedicated vehicles driven by our own experienced drivers can be contacted by our office, or our customers, at all times. Pin point accuracy is obtained via our internal vehicle GPS tracking system when required. Our vehicles range in size and capacity from curtain sided articulated lorries capable of shipping 60 pallets at a time through to large, rigid, curtain sided lorries and quick response vans. All of our lorries are fitted with tail lifts should they be needed.
Our drivers are fully qualified in the operation and procedures of JIT and Kanban deliveries, which are successfully operated with well over 70% of our existing customers.
Our environmental responsibility is something we take very seriously. At The Box Factory we constantly strive to reduce our carbon footprint. This is apparent in many areas of the business and includes our certification to FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) which allows us to guarantee to our customers that materials used are from sustainably managed or recycled sources. Our commitment to the continued challenges of reducing our impact on the planet has become part of our every day internal systems. This is enforced by our accreditation to ISO 14001: 2015 for Environmental Management and we are always looking for ways to improve, right down to the recycling of our own paper cups!
