Safe, Reliable & Sustainable Cardboard for Industrial Transit
In the chemicals and pharmaceuticals industry, packaging must do more than protect — it must meet strict safety, compliance, and export requirements. From securing bulk chemical bags on pallets to forming components for fibre drums, packaging solutions need to be durable, consistent, and eco-friendly.
Our bespoke cardboard packaging for chemicals and pharmaceuticals is engineered to deliver that protection. We supply fibre drum components and pallet interleaving sheets designed to ensure safe handling, stable transit, and environmental responsibility.
Interleaving Sheets for Pallets
Our cardboard interleaving sheets are used to stabilise palletised loads of chemical bags and pharmaceutical products.
- Prevents slippage and shifting during transit
- Protects bags from punctures, moisture, and abrasion
- Suitable for both international and domestic shipping
By adding stability, these sheets reduce the risk of damaged goods and costly waste.
Fibre Drum Components
We manufacture cardboard components for fibre drums, used widely in the chemical and pharma industries.
- Drum Papers – for wrapping and reinforcing the drum exterior
- Bases & Lids – cut-to-size cardboard for secure closures
- Custom Specifications – tailored to meet export and compliance needs
These drum components provide a strong, cost-effective alternative to heavier materials while maintaining safety standards.
Benefits for Chemicals & Pharma Packaging
- Compliance-ready – supports industry safety requirements
- Durable & protective – maintains product integrity in transit
- Cost-effective – lightweight yet strong
- Eco-friendly – fully recyclable, reducing environmental impact
For businesses in highly regulated industries, our cardboard solutions provide both reliability and peace of mind.
Sustainability Credentials
Our drum components and pallet sheets are:
- Made from recyclable cardboard
- Sourced from responsibly managed materials
- A sustainable alternative to plastics and composites
- Compatible with circular economy initiatives
This helps chemical and pharmaceutical companies achieve their sustainability targets while meeting packaging compliance.
