One Stop Purchasing
Efficient procurement is essential to any successful operation. The McLaren Packaging Group offers a One Stop Purchasing (OSP) solution, enabling you to consolidate your presentation and protection packaging needs — all through one experienced group.
All of our design and manufacturing facilities are based in Scotland. With a vertically integrated setup and shared systems across the group, we deliver joined-up processes with reduced lead times and greater commercial value.
Whether you need a complete pack made up of cartons, tubes, rigid boxes, divisions and / or corrugate, we cover all formats and can pre-assemble & deliver your packaging on a just-in-time basis.
Design sits at the core of everything we do. Across our group, our creative and technical teams work hand-in-hand to deliver high quality designs aligned with your brand needs.
We understand the demands placed on our customers. That’s why our designers respond quickly and precisely to briefs — whether you're updating a legacy pack or developing a brand-new format.
We offer expert advice on structural ingenuity, material performance, and sustainability from the outset, ensuring a smooth development journey and a solution that works across production, presentation and logistics.
High-performance packaging requires high-performing processes. Across our seven sites in Central Scotland, we manufacture carton board, solid board, corrugated and other forms of paper-based packaging under one group structure.
Our focus on lean manufacturing ensures you benefit from efficient processes, dependable quality and scalable output.
We continue to invest in the people, equipment and technologies that allow us to deliver market-leading performance while reducing waste and emissions.
Sustainable. For Life. is not a slogan. It's how we operate.
We understand that delivery matters just as much as design. Our in-house logistics capability ensures that packaging reaches you - and your markets - on time, in full, and in perfect condition.
Every movement is monitored through barcoded tracking, ensuring complete visibility and control. We optimise routes and vehicle use across the group to minimise environmental impact and meet tight timelines, whether across the UK or internationally.
