Our Visions
The Box Factory is committed to its growth and expansion, both in terms of business goals and the ability to serve more customers using new infrastructure from consistent investment.
This investment and internal development means that The Box Factory is able to strategise its clients’ packaging solutions to the best ability, everytime. The Box Factory’s team of designers spend time understanding each of the requirements from a business before providing a bespoke solution. With the range of possibilities with existing FEFCO styles and brand new bespoke solutions, The Box Factory’s design team has to demonstrate flexibility to think outside the box (we couldn’t resist the pun). That’s why each member thinks critically, to offer cutting edge, innovative packaging solutions. The Box Factory is driven by its customers, that’s why we listen, learn and deliver each solution to exacting specifications.
It also fosters a supportive and inclusive culture which makes all customers and staff feel that their ideas and opinions are valued. Empowering contributions allows for innovation.
