About Our Custom Packaging Company

Welcome to Platt Packaging, a leading packaging company in the UK. As one of the top packaging manufacturers in the UK, our packaging supplies include custom-manufactured thermoformed packaging, contract packaging and the assembly of packaged products. We see ourselves as an extension of your business, working to the same high standards and producing a finished product giving your customers a great first impression.

Vacuum thermoforming is an incredibly useful way of making bespoke packaging out of rigid plastic. It’s ideal for trays and inserts designed to go inside a box. Custom thermoformed packaging is great for protecting your product on its way to customers hands.

Vacuum forming involves heating a sheet of plastic until it’s soft and using a vacuum to pull it tight against a mould. The plastic then cools and holds its new shape. This is ideal if you want a custom insert that fits perfectly around your product.

Vacuum formed packaging is a really cost-effective packaging solution. The plastic trays can be made from a wide range of materials – but we focus on sustainable materials like RPET.

We design and manufacture any thermoformed packaging you need. We’ll start by discussing your requirements and ideas. We can provide spec sheets if you need information about strength, fire resistance or conductivity.

For small or delicate items, rigid plastic packaging can be useful for protection. This can be in the form of a card-backed blister pack, or a hinged clamshell that encloses the product completely. In either case, your design can be printed on the card or inside the transparent packaging.

Blister packs are commonly used for DIY and stationery products like glue, ink cartridges and so on. This mode of packaging is extremely versatile and inexpensive.

Clamshells can also be heat sealed. This makes them even more secure, perfect for high value items like mobile phone and computer accessories.

If you prefer, we offer plastic free alternatives where the packaging is formed entirely from cardboard and heat sealed with varnish.

In addition, we can store and distribute products once they have been packaged and using our custom thermoform process, we can design and deliver packaging specifically for your range of products.

Working from dedicated premises, our teams are highly skilled and trained to exacting standards, so you can be confident that you’re getting the quality service you need.

All clam pack / clam shells and blister packs are made from 30% to 85% recycled RPET material, this RPET material is 100% recyclable. All packaging made from this RPET material is not only greener for the environment it will not incur the new Plastic Packaging Tax ruling of 1st April 2022.

Services - A Gift Packaging Company at Your Service

Blister packs are commonly used for DIY and stationery products like glue, ink cartridges and so on. This mode of packaging is extremely versatile and inexpensive.

Clam Packing matches the shape of the package to fit closely around the contents Ideal for presenting electrical goods, automotive parts, toiletries and cosmetics.

We are proud of our plastic Blister packing, but our customers have asked for an alternative. We now offer an all cardboard blister pack – the package is assembled using heat sealed varnish giving a glossy resilient finish.

Shrink Wrapping protects your products during transit keeping them factory fresh. The customer can see if there has been any tampering with the product, and get a perfect view of the product.

Edge Bent Blisters have distinct advantages over Sealed Blister Packing and also Clam Shell Packing, offering total versatility –  you can pack the product yourself or change the backing cards to suit individual customers or even different languages.
