About Us
Platt Packaging is a family owned contract packaging and thermoforming company based in Tredegar, South Wales. Established in 1984, the business has built over four decades of experience packing, repacking and manufacturing thermoformed products for retail outlets across the UK. Its management team brings more than 100 years of combined industry experience to every project.
The company's history reflects steady growth and investment. Starting out in Surrey, Platt relocated to Swindon in 1992, then opened a dedicated thermoforming and specialist packing facility in Ebbw Vale in 2001. Operations were centralised at Rhymney in 2018 to sharpen efficiency, and the business moved to its current purpose built premises in Tredegar in 2021. That journey has shaped a company that understands how to scale and adapt without losing its family run values.
Platt Packaging positions itself as an extension of its clients' own operations, working to the same standards its customers expect and delivering a finished product that makes a strong first impression on their customers in turn. Its dedicated, well trained teams of contract packers give the flexibility to meet varied demands and tight deadlines.
Services span the full contract packaging spectrum: blister sealing, clam packing, all cardboard blister packs, shrink wrapping, edge bending, hand assembly, bagging and stock reclamation. The thermoforming division specialises in producing blisters, edge bent blisters, trays, panels, clams and bespoke packaging, all manufactured to ISO standard.
Sustainability runs through the business. Blister packs use up to 85% recycled RPET material, all of which is itself 100% recyclable, and internal skeletal waste is recycled rather than sent to landfill. The Tredegar site also generates 50kWh of its own electricity daily from an on site solar panel array, offsetting a meaningful share of its energy use. Combined with RPET based packaging that avoids the UK's Plastic Packaging Tax, this gives clients a genuinely lower impact option without compromising on protection or presentation.
For businesses wanting a packaging partner that combines decades of manufacturing know-how with a real commitment to sustainable materials, Platt Packaging offers both the experience and the environmental credentials to back it up.
