Sustainable, Protective & Bespoke Packaging for Heavy Industry
Industrial packaging isn’t just about protecting goods; it’s about efficiency, consistency, and performance across every stage of manufacturing. At Limehouse Board Mills, we produce bespoke industrial cardboard packaging built to handle demanding environments, from furniture and metal stockholding to chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
Our boards, sheets, and laminated structures are designed to protect products in transit, support manufacturing processes, and meet sustainability targets, all while keeping costs under control.
Our Industrial Packaging Sectors
We work with a wide range of UK industries that rely on cardboard for protection, structure, and stability. Explore our main industrial sectors below.
Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals
Safety and compliance are key when handling industrial chemicals or pharmaceutical products. We produce cardboard drum components and pallet interleaving sheets that stabilise loads and prevent bag punctures or slippage in transit. Lightweight yet durable, these components meet both performance and sustainability standards.
Metal & Glass
Metal and glass manufacturers need packaging that prevents surface damage and transit waste. Our protective cardboard layer sheets and inserts are cut to size for use with sheets, coils, cans, and bottles. They prevent scratches, punctures, and slippage, helping maintain surface quality and safe storage.
Furniture
In furniture production, cardboard plays a vital role in both packaging and assembly. We supply bed boards, sofa and armchair backing boards, and upholstery protection strips used across UK furniture factories. Our cardboard provides structure during upholstery, protection against sharp frame edges, and long-term reliability on fast-paced production lines
Why Choose Cardboard for Industrial Use
Across the UK manufacturing sector, cardboard has proven to be one of the most versatile and sustainable materials available. Whether it’s for interleaving metal coils, stabilising pallet loads, or reinforcing furniture frames, it offers reliability without unnecessary weight or waste.
Protective – prevents scratches, scuffs, or impact damage during handling and transit
- Strong – maintains rigidity under pressure in high-volume applications
- Lightweight – improves manual handling and reduces transport costs
- Cost-effective – affordable for large-scale or continuous production
- Sustainable – recyclable, responsibly sourced, and made in the UK
From a manufacturing floor to international shipping, cardboard remains a trusted material that keeps production lines running smoothly.
Benefits of Industrial Cardboard Packaging
Every industry has its unique challenges, such as handling heavy products, working with fragile surfaces, or dealing with complex shapes. Our industrial cardboard packaging handles them all.

Sustainability Credentials
We’ve been crafting recyclable cardboard solutions since 1860, long before sustainability became a buzzword. Today, every board we produce is part of a circular process that reduces waste and supports UK manufacturing efficiency.
Our industrial packaging products are:
- 100% recyclable
- Made from responsibly sourced materials
- Lightweight, helping cut carbon emissions in transport
- Designed for reuse or recycling after use
By switching from plastics or composites to cardboard, industries reduce their footprint without compromising strength or protection.
