High Quality
At Showcase Creative we specialise in the design and manufacture of bespoke, luxury rigid boxes. Our products are hand crafted to our customers’ individual requirements, by skilled artisans in the UK.
By blending traditional techniques with cutting edge technology we are able to achieve outstanding results along with low minimum order quantities. We continuously improve our processes in order to reduce setup times and maintain the highest possible quality. All work is manually checked by our quality control team before it is carefully packaged and dispatched.
Short Run
We have no minimum order quantity. In fact, we produce plenty of one-offs as mockups, for product development or to help our customers to win business. The unit price increases as runs get shorter due to some unavoidable setup costs but we do our best to keep these to a minimum.
Although we use automation in key areas, our process is predominantly manual. Therefore our pricing is usually competitive on orders up to a few thousand units, depending on the complexity of the product.
UK Production
Our products are produced, from scratch, at our facility in Camberley, just outside of London. This means that you can pop in any time to sign off mock ups, see your order in production or make selections from our vast materials library. Production in the UK also eliminates the lengthy shipping lead-times associated with overseas production.
Environmentally Conscious
The environment matters a great deal to us. Therefore we make every effort to be as green as possible. For example, our electricity comes from renewable sources and we test and advise our customers on eco-friendly alternatives to traditional materials. In addition we have recently pioneered a fully recycled and compostable alternative to foam fitments. Please get in touch if you are interested in seeing some examples.
OUR MISSION
“To provide the best possible service to businesses requiring short run, high quality packaging manufactured in the UK.”
History
In 2003, after qualifying from university in graphic design and product design, school friends Andy Wreakes and Paul Batey began a graphic design partnership that served customers ranging from local sports clubs to multinational conglomerates. Over time they began to notice sourcing of print and presentation products to meet their customers’ requirements.
In 2006, frustrated by the lack of options for short run presentation products, Andy, Paul and Paul’s brother Jack Batey launched FolderPrinting.co.uk. Using digital print and some propitiatory techniques they were able to offer short runs of high quality presentation folders and “paper over board” (POB) ring binders at competitive prices.
In 2008, applying the knowledge they had accumulated in the short run “Paper over Board” industry, the trio expanded the business into luxury packaging with the launch of ShowcaseCreative.com. Again, the goal was to reduce the minimum order quantities for high quality products and pass the savings on to their customers.
Today, Showcase Creative is a highly regarded and award winning short run, luxury packaging manufacturer. Employing more than 20 people in a 6000sqft facility and trusted by some of the world’s most well known brands and the UK’s leading agencies.
