| " It is only
since 1860 that folding cartons as we know them,
have been in existence. Carried only by better specialty
shops, the original cartons were handmade and were
set up after each purchase by the retail clerk.
As with all the
great simple idea’s, one wonders how it
waited so long to be thought of. Nowadays manufacturers
of all durable goods appreciate the necessity
and advantage of good packaging. A well packed
product enables the goods to reach the consumers
in good condition, but more than that it gives
it a tidy and pleasing appearance in stock rooms
or self service stores. It inspires respect and
care during carriage. It creates brand awareness
when on display and therefore increases sales.
A bout the same time as
the carton was being invented, Kippax Mill, run
by the Howarth family, was part of the thriving
cotton industry. It had been lying derelict for
many years when we took it over in 1972.
We are happy to say that
once more it is a thriving hive of industry and
we equate our growth and success to happy relationships
with our customers, suppliers and staff.
The vital raw material
comes from some of the country’s leading
suppliers, who for competition, quality and service
are unequalled in this field. George Harrison
Ltd and St Regis Paper Ltd who supply top quality
paper for our corrugator, provide excellent service
and support.
It is this kind of back
up which enables us to provide excellent quality
at competitive prices and unequalled service at
short notice when required.
I hope that the rest of
this web-site will give you an interesting insight
as to how we operate and are able to offer you
a great deal in packaging."
