With stock valued at over £11m and new headquarters accommodating 40,000 pallet spaces, Kite has a wealth of solutions readily available to confidently serve the UK’s every packaging need.

While the cost-of-living crisis threatens us all, Kite product specialists see it as a challenge, instead, to overcome. They draw on our longstanding partnerships with suppliers to secure stock at excellent deals, aiding Kite’s continued provision of the most handsomely priced premium packaging on the market to its customers.

We are constantly aware of developments within our industry and keep our offering fresh to reflect current trends. This year, postal boxes and large letter postal boxes were introduced to our range following the continued popularity of letterbox gifts. The dimensions of these products adhere to Royal Mail’s PiP Guide, allowing regulation of costs by keeping parcel sizes within set categories. Thus, unexpected charges can be avoided while outgoings can be further reduced by taking advantage of our wholesale discounts to lower unit pricing.

Premium bespoke packaging is available for high-volume packaging users through our Regional Distribution Centres (RDCs). However, Kite offers affordability at every turn, providing cost-effective customisation on select stock products through our ecommerce business. With the unboxing trend continuing into 2023, it is important to build a lasting impression on customers at every given opportunity. Add customisable tape and print-receptive labels to your packing paraphernalia along with void fill in hues matching your products and branding. This will consolidate your brand messaging into an instantly recognisable trademark aesthetic.

Touches like these add up to create an unrivalled unboxing experience that spreads by word of mouth like fire so whenever people think of the products you sell, they will think only of your company.

Kite facilitates optimisation at every level through automation. Small businesses with little space can integrate compact Mini Air Easi, Classic or Pro machines into their operations. These inflate between 8-32m of film per minute and pack 100-400 parcels a day, providing reliable, scalable in-house packaging production for low-cost, low-maintenance efficiency. Multiple machines can be integrated into a larger set-up.

Customers can also explore sophisticated automated palletisation with our dedicated pallet wrap team. Rotoplat machines wrap pallets within seconds, saving significant labour and reducing employee injury. By removing the possibility for human error, higher quality control and standardisation can also be exercised as your operation accelerates in speed and efficiency. Adjustable features grant flexibility which accommodates fluctuating demands and, most importantly, when Rotoplat systems are used in conjunction with our performance films, they use minimal stretch wrap to provide optimal protection, saving money and the environment through material conservation.

Sustainability permeates Kite at every level from our eco-friendly NDC and Training Centre’s smart lighting and insulation, solar panels, and onsite water recycling plant, to our countless sustainable alternatives within every packaging category. Certified carbon neutral under scopes 1 and 2 since 2021, we practice what we preach, leading by example. Free stretch wrap audits are available with our packaging technologists, recently crowned Design Team of the Year by The UK Packaging Awards. This honour attests to the credibility of our customer-focussed talent, which, for many years has helped us design and deliver packaging innovation which makes a real difference to your business time after time.
