Products
Paper Handles
The Eco-Handle is a 100% paper strap handle designed as a sustainable, fully recyclable alternative to plastic carry handles. Strong yet lightweight, with bespoke sizing available. Supplied with either self-adhesive backing for manual application or use one of our automatic or semi-automatic applicator machines.
Eco-Locks
A reusable rotary locking clip made from FSC®-certified cardboard, Eco-Lock 1 secures multiple layers of corrugate with ease. Fully recyclable in the paper waste stream, it replaces plastic clips with a sustainable alternative. Its simple 90° twist-lock mechanism requires no space inside the box during application, making Eco-Lock 1 part of our first ever range of cardboard locking devices.
Eco-Handholds
A sustainable handhold protector made from 100% recycled moulded fibre, designed to reinforce die-cut hand holes and prevent box tearing under heavy loads or repeated use. This open design adds strength and durability without plastic, whilst giving the user a sound grip to lift the carton. Easy to apply from the outside of the box, friction and compression keep the handhold securely in place. Fully recyclable with corrugated packaging, Eco-Handhold 1 is the ideal solution for stronger, more sustainable box handling.
Eco-Sidewinder
A heavy-duty strap handle made entirely from 100% FSC® paper, designed for strength and sustainability. Featuring a reinforced cartonboard backing plate, innovative woven paper webbing strap, and even paper thread stitching, it’s capable of carrying over 50kg per handle. Fully recyclable alongside corrugated boxes, with no separation required, the Eco-Sidewinder is the perfect plastic-free solution for demanding packaging applications.
Box Locking Clips
Our range of box locking clips allow boxes to be securely closed and reopened multiple times throughout the supply chain – eliminating the need for tape, staples, or strapping and reducing costs by enabling box reuse.
Box Latch
The Box Latch Pro is a reusable box closure that delivers savings by replacing tape and staples, and extending the life of boxes. Enabling quick, tool-free opening and closing of corrugated boxes, it supports repeated use in warehousing, shipping, and inventory operations.
Garment Rails
