Shelf Ready Packaging
There has been significant growth in the demand for shelf ready packaging (otherwise known as SRP); a multipurpose packaging solution that facilitates functionality and which can be used as an attractive, visually disruptive piece of packaging to enhance your product(s) and brand.
At Saxon Packaging we understand this need and are able to offer our customers bespoke and standard FEFCO styles of shelf ready packaging all available in a range of print options.
In addition, the shelf ready packaging can be customisable with features such as perforations, vents, tear strips and hand holes to create product packaging suitable for both transit and POS display, designed specifically to suit your product sizes and styles.

We don’t have a minimum order quantity. We have the ability to produce ‘one-offs’ and low volumes if required, but we do have cost-effective minimum order quantities which are determined by the area of material used, material type, style of box and print requirement.
If you have a price for 1000 boxes @ £550 / 1000, imagine it as a unit cost of 55p each. Likewise a quote for £700 /1000 equates at 70p each.
Cutting formes are used to cut the packaging into the correct shape. Stereos are used for flexo printed packaging. This enables the packaging to be printed bespoke to the client’s requirement. Both the ‘cutting forme’ and the ‘stereo’ belong to the customer.
We do not hold stock but we do hold materials and cutting tools to provide a fast turnaround on some of the most frequently used packaging lines.
Yes, we pride ourselves on working closely with our customers from consulting to design and through to the finished product. We have an in-house design team who are able to design packaging solutions specific to your requirements.
It all depends on the artwork complexity, number of colours required and quantity of packaging.
