Came across some photos from the archives. How packaging used to be made in the 1950's/60's/70'sand early 80's. A design would be hand drawn/painted by our artists, posted to the customer for approval, made into rubber printing plates then printed and made into bags..

Yesterday we had a customer visit us after travelling all the way from Italy. Their first time in Scotland. We matched and printed 24 designs in one day and still had time to show them Bonnie Dundee! Phew! #packaging #flexiblepackaging #dundee

Ever wondered what that sticky stuff is that seals up the wrapper of your chocolate bar? Probably not, but if you did...it's called coldseal....here it is being applied to the packaging. #flexiblepackaging #packaging #coldseal #dundee

Did you know that we do factory tours and open days? Would you like to see how packaging is made? Only school children have to write a report on their experience.....
