In the realm of packaging, Neal Brothers stand out as a beacon of innovation and quality. With an expansive range of packaging options tailored to meet the needs of diverse industries, they have established themselves as leaders in providing bespoke packaging solutions. From corrugated cartons to timber cases, and from foam inserts to metal transit frames, Neal Brothers offer a holistic approach to packaging that prioritizes both product safety and environmental sustainability.

Corrugated Packaging: Light, Strong, and Recyclable

Neal Brothers have perfected the art of manufacturing corrugated packaging, offering options from heavy-duty triple and double wall to light-grade double or single wall, including solid wall cartons. Utilizing computer-aided sheet selection and box-making equipment, they ensure the production of made-to-measure cartons in various styles within minimal lead times. Their die-cut packs cater to more intricate designs, and all grades are available for short to medium runs, with options for printing or color coating. These packs, typically delivered flat to minimize storage space, can feature drop flaps, handles, locks, straps, and more, making them strong, light, and ideal for both UK transit and export.

Timber and Plywood Cases: Durability Meets Sustainability

Accredited to ISO9001:2015, Neal Brothers design and manufacture a wide range of traditional timber cases and pallets, using high-quality Scandinavian heat-treated timber. Their compliance with the international ISPM15 wood marking program ensures the traceability and quality of the timber used. The cases and pallets are crafted with precision, guided by computer-aided cutting programs and automated cutting equipment, adhering to BS1133 s8 guidelines for unmatched strength and reliability.

Their plywood cases are no less impressive. Made from exterior grade plywood, ranging from 6mm to 24mm in thickness, these cases are strong, presentable, and reusable. Neal Brothers’ innovative designs include plywood battens or bearers to circumvent ISPM15 issues at customs, with options for clip cases or bolted construction for easy packing or unpacking.

Foam Inserts: Superior Protection and Cushioning

Neal Brothers excel in designing bespoke foam fittings to protect and cushion products during storage and transit. Their arsenal includes clicker presses, a 60-tonne Samco press, and hot air guns to shape a variety of foams, ensuring the integrity of the pack and product within. The foams used, known for their good “memory” and resistance to creep in adverse temperatures, offer optimal protection against drops and temperature fluctuations.

Foil and Metal Packaging: Innovative Solutions for Complex Needs

Pioneering the use of foil packing, Neal Brothers offer barrier foil bags designed to control relative humidity and minimize water vapour ingress. This innovative solution significantly reduces the need for desiccants and protects against odour transfer, UV radiation, and physical damage. Furthermore, their returnable metal transit frames, featuring a unique shock-absorbed floating platform, provide a cost-effective solution for shipping heavy and expensive items globally. Predominantly used in the medical industry, these frames meet demanding shock protection limits, underscoring Neal Brothers’ commitment to delivering cutting-edge packaging solutions.

In conclusion, Neal Brothers’ dedication to quality, sustainability, and innovation has set them apart in the packaging industry. Their comprehensive range of packaging options, from corrugated cartons to metal transit frames, offers unparalleled protection and efficiency for businesses across the globe.
