Whether you are launching a boutique product with a low Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) or scaling up for mass retail distribution, our versatile contract packaging facility has the technology and expertise to deliver. From fully automated, high-speed cartoning to meticulous hand-assembly, we provide cost-effective, retail-ready packaging solutions that protect your products and elevate your brand on the shelf. Discover our range of multipacking services below to find the perfect fit for your next project.Automatic Fully Enclosed Cartons (FEC)
Ideal for high-volume orders and large MOQs, our fully automated FEC service is designed for maximum cost efficiency. Because this process utilises flat board rather than pre-glued boxes, the raw material costs are significantly lower. Our state-of-the-art cartoning machinery rapidly forms, fills, and seals the flat cartons around your products, providing a fast, economical, and highly secure packaging solution for mass retail distribution.
Semi-Automatic Fully Enclosed Cartons
If your project requires a balance between automation and human oversight, our semi-automatic FEC service is the perfect middle ground. This method utilises pre-glued cartons, which slightly increases the board cost but offers incredible versatility. Our skilled operatives carefully insert your products into the cartons by hand, ensuring perfect placement, before feeding them into our machinery that seals the sides.
Manual Fully Enclosed Cartons
For bespoke projects, limited runs, or low MOQs, our manual FEC assembly provides the flexibility you need without the setup costs of automated runs. Our experienced packing team manually erects and fills crash-locked cartons featuring secure tuck-tab closures. This hands-on approach guarantees premium quality control and is highly recommended for start-ups, trial runs, or specialised promotional packaging.
Fully Automated Open-Sided Multipacks
Make your products stand out on the retail shelf while keeping them securely bundled. Our automated open-sided multipacking service wraps high-quality card sleeves tightly around your products. This co-packing solution allows consumers to see the actual products while still providing ample cardboard surface area for your branding, barcodes, and nutritional information.
Hand-Assembled Basket Packs
When presentation is everything, our hand-assembled basket packs offer a premium, artisanal touch. Perfect for gift sets, seasonal promotions, or luxury assortments, our dedicated packing operatives construct and arrange these complex packs entirely by hand. This service guarantees meticulous attention to detail, ensuring your basket packs look flawless and are ready to impress your customers.
Clear & Printed Shrink Wrapping
Shrink wrapping is one of the most versatile and durable ways to bundle products. At Blisters, we offer high-quality shrink wrapping services using either clear film for pure product visibility or custom-printed shrink wrap to maximise your brand messaging. This tamper-evident multipacking solution tightly secures multiple items together, making it ideal for “buy-one-get-one” (BOGO) offers, wholesale bundles, and twin packs.
Automated Mixed Trays with Shrink Wrap
Streamline your wholesale and retail distribution with our automated mixed tray packaging. We can automatically collate a mix of different products (perfect for variety packs), place them securely into a sturdy cardboard tray, and seal the entire unit with protective shrink wrap. This creates exceptional Retail-Ready Packaging (RRP) that can go straight from the shipping pallet to the store aisle, saving retailers time and boosting your product’s appeal.

We can also create automatically mixed product trays sealed with shrink wrap for retail-ready distribution.
How does automated Fully Enclosed Cartoning (FEC) save money?
Our fully automated FEC service is highly cost-effective for large production runs because it utilises flat board rather than pre-glued boxes. This significantly reduces the raw material costs. Combined with our high-speed automated machinery that forms, fills, and seals the cartons, this method delivers a low-cost, secure, and fast turnaround for mass retail distribution.
Can you assemble variety packs or mixed retail trays?
Yes, we specialise in collating different products into variety packs. We offer automated mixed tray assembly, where a mix of products is securely placed into a sturdy cardboard tray and sealed with protective shrink wrap.
