Corrugated Board has always been known for it's strong, environmental credentials and in the current climate of protecting our natural resources and the desire for more sustainable packaging, it has never been more popualr. In addition, the increase in e-commerce and the desire to keep materials to a minimum, has created a stronger demand for made-to-measure corrugated boxes.
Kilby Packaging has been manufacturing corrugated boxes since the 1970s, offering a variety of materials, designs and print options, originally to manufacturers in the Midlands and Northwest. Due to the demand for customised boxes and the need for shorter lead times, last year we invested in a box manufacturing site in Kettering, Northamptonshire. Since the acquisition, we have totally transformed the site and workflow.
- Total integration of the manufacturing process into our current IT systems – from estimating, through manufacturing, delivery scheduling and invoicing
- Improved stock turnover by 100%
- Redesigned the workflow to give a more systematic and efficient working environment
- Improved deliveries, on time and in full
- Now in the second stage of adding additional box making, printing and glueing equipment
The Kettering site complements our 5-acre manufacturing and distribution site in Hollywood, South Birmingham, which has extensive warehousing to fulfil our next day packaging materials distribution operation. It also houses our printed tape division and digital packaging print and conversion operation.
