Packaging for trade and repeat buyers
What you'll need
Trade buyers typically need consistent pricing, a dependable core range and an easy reorder route across boxes, tape, wrap and other everyday consumables.
Trade and repeat buyers want consistent pricing, a reliable range and a simple way to reorder the same lines without fuss. The focus is on predictable supply rather than one-off purchases.
Maximum Packaging supports repeat buyers with trade accounts, bulk quotes and access to our UK supplier network for non-stocked items. We are upfront about lead times and availability so you can plan around real timings, not promises.

Common buyer questions
Do you do custom or printed packaging?
Yes — custom-size and branded boxes, mailers, tape and food packaging are sourced to order with minimum quantities. Request a quote with your spec.
How do I set up regular trade supply?
Open a trade account for consistent pricing on the lines you reorder, or request a bulk quote for one-off volume. We hold some stock and source the rest to order.
What tape is best for heavy cartons?
Use a stronger vinyl or solvent polypropylene tape for heavy or double-wall cartons, or gummed paper tape for a tamper-evident, recyclable seal.
How much pallet wrap gauge do I need?
Light loads are usually fine with 17–20 micron film; heavier or sharp-edged loads need 23 micron or above. Pre-stretched film gives similar hold with less plastic.
