Peak season is well and truly here! 📦

We’re already seeing businesses ramping up their packaging requirements as we head towards the end of the year.

Although we’re now in peak season, there’s still time to get ahead before manufacturing lead times start pushing deliveries into the new year.

At Barton Jones Packaging, we have a wide range of stock materials available, allowing us to offer quicker turnaround times on certain box styles and specifications.

With a bit of forward planning, we can also help customers manage their packaging requirements through stockholding and scheduled deliveries, taking some of the pressure off during the busiest time of year.

We’ve put together a short blog on preparing your packaging for peak season.

If you’ve got packaging requirements between now and Christmas, it’s worth having that conversation sooner rather than later.

Prepare your packaging operation for the Christmas peak. Plan stock, test packaging and avoid seasonal supply problems.

Can double wall be stronger than triple wall?

With the right board specification, it can be.

Our latest blog looks at AC1000 heavy duty double wall and why paper quality, flute combination and box design can matter more than simply adding extra layers.

A useful read for anyone specifying pallet boxes for heavy products, stacking or transport.

We do a lot of work with galleries, framers and businesses shipping valuable artwork.

A standard box often isn’t enough.

We can manufacture made to measure packaging with corner protection, foam inserts and additional protection around the frame or artwork itself.

The aim is simple.

Get it there in the same condition it left in.

More than just the box 📦
