With access to all major sources of insight, including a range of services from Mintel, we can provide insightful guidance to drive the innovation process.   

We have a long history of bringing innovation to our customers and our industry. And innovative ideas continue to drive our business today. 

We’d love to welcome you to one of our UK sites, where a dedicated team will come together to help transform your packaging challenges into solutions that will work for your product, your business and your consumers.  

Our product portfolio starts with renewable and recycled materials and emphasises recyclability after use

Consumers are more conscious now than ever about the products they buy and the packaging that protects those products. Brand-owners’ sustainability commitments and increasing legislation around single use plastic are driving change.  

Graphic Packaging is investing in the future of sustainable innovative packaging that not only protects food and products so that less goes to waste, but also can be recycled
