Essex Board
Essex board is a highly compact board for use in furniture construction. A smooth, lightweight alternative to plywood sheets, easy to cut & shape for pelmets and more.
Protecting freshly baked products with recyclable packaging
From flaky pastries to rustic loaves, bakery products need packaging that holds its shape, protects against grease, and looks the part on display. Whether you’re wrapping fresh goods for retail or moving high volumes through distribution, the right cardboard helps prevent damage and waste. All while being eco-friendly and compliant with UK food standards.
Our bakery-grade cardboard combines strength, consistency, and food safety. We supply boards, trays, and inserts that perform from bakehouse to store shelf, all made to your size, finish, and thickness.
Durable cardboard solutions for the bakery sector
Tough enough for production lines, clean enough for food contact, and flexible enough to handle everything from pastries to loaves.
Cardboard packaging built for the bakery industry
Our cardboard materials are widely used across commercial and artisan bakeries, as well as packaging converters and food service suppliers.
- Formats: sheets, rolls, or pre-cut blanks ready for production
- Materials: grease-resistant kraft, PE-lined, or coated white boards
- Applications: cake boards, pastry trays, bread dividers, layer sheets, and display packaging
Each board is manufactured for contact safety, high-volume output, and reliable protection during handling and delivery.
Protection, presentation & practicality
Good bakery packaging does more than just hold the product. It adds structure, reduces mess, and maintains presentation.
- Prevents grease bleed-through and moisture damage
- Keeps shape and stability during stacking and transit
- Improves shelf and counter presentation
- Minimises product waste through better support
- 100% recyclable and available in compostable grades
These boards work hard where you need them most. Durable in production, lightweight in delivery, and easy to recycle afterwards.

Our cardboard packaging supports every stage of the bakery process:
- Industrial bakeries producing muffins, cakes, and traybakes
- Retail and artisan bakers looking for recyclable display packaging
- Exporters shipping boxed baked goods safely abroad
