Firstly, I would like to thank Liz from Northern Packaging Ltd who has provided us with this case study and has allowed for us to publish this on our website.

Northern Packaging are a multi-site, independent, integrated corrugated packaging business. We have the experience, resources and knowledge to design, develop and deliver bespoke value-added packaging solutions for use across a broad range of industry sectors. Our manufacturing sites in Skelmersdale, Lancashire are located with easy access to the national motorway network and our fleet of vehicles deliver daily nationwide. We have been manufacturing since 1987 as a family-owned business until 2015 and are now supported by our parent company CorpAcq.

FSC® Certification

 At Northern Packaging Limited, sustainability is more than just a goal, it’s at the heart of everything that we do. Achieving FSC® certification has been a key milestone for us and has not only strengthened our environmental credentials but also allows for us to offer our clients assurance that their packaging is both eco-friendly and ethically sourced.

FSC® certification has greatly benefited our company and clients, as we are now able to offer FSC® certified products which are manufactured with a minimum of 70% recycled materials, ensuring that we make the most of our precious forest resources and reduce the pressure to harvest more trees. By allowing our customers to choose FSC® certified products, together, we are contributing to the protection of our forests and the wildlife that inhabit them.

We state on our website that FSC® certified products are available upon request, and we invite customers and potential customers to join us in our mission to support responsible forestry, promoting a sustainable future. Our licence code is FSC-C196500.

Interface NRM

 Our partnership with Interface NRM gave us a smooth certification process, which allows for us to manage our sustainability goals smoothly. We decided to choose Interface NRM as our certification body, due to their deep understanding of FSC® principles, their dedication to high quality services, and their friendly customer service. We highly recommend their services to any organisation seeking FSC® certification.
