Hale Path Packaging: British manufacturing of custom packaging

Hale Path Packaging is a UK-based company that designs and produces custom packaging and printed boxes for brands across a wide range of sectors. The company presents itself as a manufacturer with in-house production in a 32,000 square foot facility (approximately 2,970 m²), which allows it to control lead times instead of relying on third parties. Its offering ranges from corrugated and rigid cardboard boxes to bags, flexible pouches and commercial printing material.

Packaging for multiple industries

The company structures its catalogue by sectors, including beauty and personal care, food and beverage, e-commerce, cannabis and CBD, tobacco and vaping, gifts and celebrations, fashion and accessories, pet products, pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, automotive, industrial products, sports and fitness, toys, stationery and office, printing and advertising, transport and logistics, and furniture. This segmentation translates into specific solutions such as packaging for cosmetics, perfumes, skincare, hair care, soaps, bath products, men's grooming and spa; packaging for bakery and confectionery, chocolate, coffee and tea, beverages, snacks, frozen foods, dairy, wines and spirits, takeaway food and meal kits; and packaging for CBD products, marijuana, vaping, cigarettes, cigars and smoking accessories.

Types of boxes and packaging solutions

The Hale Path Packaging catalogue includes a wide variety of formats. Among cardboard boxes, highlights include tuck-end and auto-lock bottom, snap-lock bottom, double-wall, rigid and premium, window, pillow, die-cut, hanger, tray and sleeve, mailer, display and white cardboard boxes. It also offers holographic boxes, paper and kraft bags, stand-up pouches, flexible pouches, custom cards and child-resistant packaging. For the food sector, it has solutions for beverage multipacks, retail trays, boxes for fresh, frozen and chilled products, bakery, meat, poultry and seafood, dairy and dry foods. In logistics, it produces standard shipping boxes, crash-lock, pizza-style, letterbox-sized, returnable and reusable, as well as UN-certified hazardous goods boxes, pallets and large containers, and moisture-resistant export options.

Materials and sustainability

The company works with materials such as kraft paper, cardboard, corrugated board, rigid board and bux board. In its sustainable solutions line, it offers recyclable, biodegradable, compostable and reusable materials, as well as hemp paper and FSC-certified paper. The company states that its packaging is made with responsibly sourced materials.

Printing and finishing

Hale Path Packaging combines several printing technologies: offset, UV offset, flexography, digital and cold and hot foil. For finishing, it uses foil stamping, embossing and debossing, lamination and varnishing, and screen printing. The company also offers spot UV printing and security printing solutions. In commercial printing, it produces corporate stationery, business cards, postcards, brochures, catalogues, posters, banners, signage, labels and stickers, promotional products, invitations and greeting cards, among others.

Production and lead times

The company states that it manufactures all its packaging in its own facility, which allows it to offer a production lead time of 12 to 14 days. Each order is made to measure, adapting the packaging to the product instead of forcing the product into standard boxes. The company serves both small businesses and wholesale orders, and offers design samples. In its presentation, it mentions a case of an urgent order of 1,500,000 custom boxes delivered in 10 days for a candle company during the Christmas season.

Custom printing and finishes

Packaging can be customised with logo printing, CMYK or PMS colours, foil details, embossing, die-cut windows and matte or gloss finishes. The company also produces printed boxes and printed mailer boxes for shipping and retail.
