STUDIO BRIEF 5  PACKAGING COMPANIES |

 Considering this is hopefully going to actually be used in the real world and produced on a mass scale, I think I really need to get in touch with some companies for some advice as I don't have time to experiment with every material going until I find the most practical.

 These are the companies George gave me but I don't really know if they are what I'm after, plus they aren't very local - 

 Durham Box

 I think all they do is corrugated card... I don't want corrugated card. 

"Durham Box is one of the leading suppliers and manufacturers of corrugated cardboard packaging in the UK."

These are the companies I have been looking at:


 Jenson Packaging

Local and seems quite relevant. Worth a try. 

Jenson’s specialises in very short to medium quantities of cardboard sleeves, plain or printed cartons, boxes or other packaging formats in a wide variety of materials.

 Tickety Boo

Bit random - not overly concerned about the environmental affects of the packaging but based in could be interesting - knowhow on packaging - seem pretty keen to be contacted whatever the reason. 

Environmental consultancy. There’s a po-faced couple of words if ever we saw them. But environmental consultancy is exactly what’s needed if, together, we’re going to tackle shoddy product design, wasteful packaging and inefficient services as well as keeping on top of legislation.
