Bartec Paper and Packaging

Here at Bartec, we are committed to doing all we can to fulfil all your Christmas packaging requirements.

Since almost all our products are made to customers’ bespoke requirements, there can be a lead time of up to four weeks. It is crucial, therefore, that we receive your Christmas orders as soon as possible, and certainly by Friday 27^th November.

Our production process is already nearing full capacity, so we’d like to remind customers and potential customers to check stock levels and requirements, and to let us know as soon as possible if there is anything you need.

We shall remain in operation until 23^rd December and will reopen on Monday 4^th January 2021. Ideally, any orders for items required early in the new year, should also be received by us before the end of November 2020.

Items often in huge demand at this time of year include our paper cushion pads, glassine liners for chocolate boxes, petit four cases and food wraps.

Whatever your requirements, we’re here to help, but please get in touch as soon as you can.

Dealing so closely with the chocolate, confectionery and food industries, it stands to reason that our products will be in great demand over the coming months. Order quantities can be huge and that’s why we’re urging our customers to contact us early to avoid disappointment.

Most of our products are paper based, so we can help you if you are trying to reduce the amount of plastic in your packaging or indeed aiming to be plastic free in your food packaging.

Our paper cushion pads are perfect for protecting your delicate bakes, handmade biscuits or beautifully made luxury chocolates, whilst in transit and right up to the point of being unwrapped on Christmas Day. These can be die-cut to shape to fit any sized box and even printed with your own branding.

One of our newest products is our cushion pad divider for chocolate boxes, to replace plastic chocolate box liners or vacforms. Available in black, brown or white, these cushion pad dividers provide maximum protection for your chocolates or confectionery items and, better still, they’re made entirely from paper so can be recycled at home with ease.

Glassine liners for chocolate boxes, printed cushion pads, petit four cases and cheese wraps are among the other products which will leaving our factory in great numbers in the weeks to come.

You might want to order cushion pads or glassine in festive red or green, or to have your cushion pads printed with a Christmas design. Whatever your requirements, we’re here to help.

Call us today or use our enquiry form to ask how we can help you deliver a product with a fabulous festive feel.

We are still operating on a factory floor which has been reorganised in line with government guidelines on social distancing and safe working, and we continue to operate on reduced staffing levels. As a result, the current lead time for all new orders is four weeks from confirmation of order.

On receiving an order, we will firstly acknowledge receipt and then, within two working days, we will provide all pricing details. Once these have been agreed by the customer, the order will be confirmed and from this point we expect to fulfil the order within four weeks.

We are working hard to improve this in the coming weeks, but we want to make customers aware of the additional time required for processing orders in the current circumstances.  We understand this is difficult, but we ask that you build the additional lead time into your planning processes.

We appreciate your efforts in this regard and thank you for your continued support of Bartec Packaging. We remain committed as always to delivering the materials you need to the high standards of quality expected.

Here at Bartec, we’re delighted to announce that we have been awarded the British Retail Consortium (BRC) Global Standard’s highest grade, AA, following our recent audit. Bartec has consistently achieved the highest rating since the company was first audited in 2003.

The BRC Global Standard for Packaging and Packaging Materials was designed to assist in the production of safe food packaging materials and the management of product quality.  To achieve the Standard, any packaging company which supplies products for direct food contact must undergo an annual audit of its premises and processes.

The audit focuses on encouraging a whole culture of product safety, from the commitment of senior management to the on-going training and development of all staff, and the maintaining of the strictest hygiene standards throughout all areas of the business.

Our latest audit took place in April and involved a detailed examination of our factory and the ways in which we operate. All our processes, policies and systems were scrutinised closely by the auditors.

Bartec Director, Vanessa Cooper, says: “This has been a real team effort and we are delighted to have once again achieved the highest grading possible for a planned audit.

“Producing packaging for direct food contact demands the most exacting of standards and that is why we continue to invest to ensure that those standards are maintained at all times. This is key to our on-going success and future development.

“Our BRC rating reflects how important it is to us that the correct processes are in place to enable us to deliver the highest quality product and service to all our customers.”
