A trusted supply partner for over 25 years

The business began; this would be the first step to a prosperous and successful future for Eastpac.

The 1^st member of the Eastpac team was employed.

The business got too big for a double garage in the back garden, so we rented a separate warehouse. Following this, we convert the double garage into an office.

Our first van driver was employed, so Graham could better focus on the business.

Here we decided to rebrand the business to ‘Eastern Packaging’. The name provided our customer base with a clear indication of what we did.

The turn of the millennium saw the operation move to Cavendish Street, Eastfield, Peterborough. Eastpac outgrew its previous space and chose to employ our second member of staff.

A customer of ours chose to write a book, including a reference to Eastern Packaging as a supplier that ‘goes the extra mile’. We took this up as our charter to benchmark ourselves against.

Once more the business was moved to bigger premises, this time to Welbeck Way, Woodston Peterborough, where we still are today.

Around this time we decided to progress our success on the world wide web. We got in touch with web developers and launched our first ever website. Our new website allowed us to keep up with market changes and showcase the business.

We started sending out a free pack of chocolates/sweets with every order in appreciation of our customers – a custom that continues today.

A full-time rep to be ‘on the road’ was employed and in the same year the company expanded its client base. We started by offering industrial packaging solutions and joined the Bluewater Group. This group is a national company, offering power on industrial branded products while retaining the flexibility and control of a family business.

In January 2012, the company acquired the retail division of Elmwood Packaging, followed by Vari dry cleaning supplies in June. Eastern Packaging rebranded as Eastpac Group.

Employed an in-house accountant.

Became an OPTIMAX distributer to further complement the company’s Industrial Packaging solution with a range of quality systems and machines.

Launched a rebranded information Website and also joined the world of social media on Linkedin, Twitter and Facebook.

Launched into the world of Exhibitions by having a stand at the very first Peterborough Biscuit Business Event in our hometown. Launched our range of transit packaging – Securapac which offered superior protection of goods in transit.

Today, we still have the same commitment to honesty, integrity and loyalty to customers both old and new. We look forward to what the future holds for Eastpac and hope to help many, many more companies with their packing needs in the UK.
