How you doing out there? Keeping ok? We hope so. Some of you are very busy indeed, and we thank you for your orders! It's becoming apparent that the supply of some product lines may inevitably start to dry up, so it's worth mentioning it sooner rather than later. Here's (a bit of) our Out of Stock board. Back before the lockdown, we might have 8ish items on the board, with a really good … [Read more...]
Easter opening hours
Just a quick heads up regarding Easter - is it me, or has it just suddenly appeared? So much of life is different right now, but we're still open to serve our customers as best we can. :) Easter means that we are closed for a little longer than a normal weekend, so it's worth taking note of our opening hours. (What's normal these days anyway?) Easter Opening Hours and delivery … [Read more...]
Coronavirus update
A quick update - we're still open for business and delivering to our customers. We will do so until we are told not to basically. This is an ever evolving situation, but we do play a key role in the food industry. There are plenty of folk out there supplying food, and until we absolutely can't carry on, we're here with you! Monday turned out to be the busiest day of our companies history. Many … [Read more...]
Corona Virus update
In light of the current Covid-19 pandemic, we would like to assure you that we are currently operating as normal. We are still taking orders via our website and shipping them as normal. However from today onwards, we are putting a stop to the Click & Collect service to minimise the risk of the virus as much as possible. We would also advise customer not to come to our warehouse in High … [Read more...]
Size Guide
I guess it's easy for us to gauge the size of our Food Packaging and Glasses as we are surrounded by them all day, and know them inside out. From the other side of the screen we know it's a whole different story. I've been thinking about this for a while now. What's the best way of showing the size of something? Easy. Take a photo of whatever it is next to an item we all recognise. In this case, a … [Read more...]
Boxes for Foxes
We don't advocate selling actual foxes, obviously. I recently had a conversation with someone on our live web chat - they were looking for a particular cake box to put something non food related in. This isn't uncommon in our world, and over the years we've met people that use our food packaging for some very unique reasons! Right up there has to be this gorgeous Felt Fox Mask & Tail, which … [Read more...]
PLA unavailability
We took great interest in some of the speakers at the FPA Environment Seminar last week, and one on the key messages was clarity in the current claims for packaging that are being touted as the next big thing. The picture is muddy at best, and the whole industry needs to address this, even more so than the underlying issue. PLA (Polylactic Acid) is one of many packaging acronyms out … [Read more...]
Calorie free Friday
Hands up who gave up something in January - booze, carbs, meat, all hope of making it to payday with money in your pocket? Yep, we know the feeling too. The food industry is a forever moving landscape of new trends, and old ones re-visited, and whilst this no doubt makes for exciting menus, we like some stability too. We're here to champion Calorie Free Fridays. Doesn't matter what you eat today, … [Read more...]
Veg Soup – Waste not want not
How's your January going? Fear not, pay day is just the 96 days away. (It certainly feels like it) One way to save a few quid and also use up leftover veg is to make soup. This used to scare me for some reason, although watching the other half make it last week showed me just how straight forward the whole process is. (He knows what he's doing, me, not so much) Soup is a perfect winter warmer, and … [Read more...]
Last minute shopping?
So, we're almost on the final approach to Christmas. You ready? Some of us (like me) have pretty much got it all sorted. Chaps, you've got a week to chill out before you should even think about the shopping. Here's a reminder of our opening hours: we recommend avoiding the Economy delivery option now, especially if you need something before next Wednesday. We've noticed the delivery … [Read more...]
