UK Packaging Awards 2009: Supplier of the Year

SHORTLIST
Gilchrist (a division of Sun Branding Solutions)
Swanline Print

WINNER

Swanline Print
Swanline’s customer testimonials were what impressed our judges the most about the company. Everyone from DS Smith March through to The Box Factory praised the firm for its versatility and quality. So it’s not surprising that the company’s customer base has expanded of late to encompass sheet plants, point-of-sale businesses, merchants, litho printers, agencies and even carton manufacturers. Its ability to turn around quotes within 24 hours, with the majority being completed within a mere four hours, has only helped to increase sales. “Our strategy, whether in manufacturing or design, is centred on looking at what is done now and what we can do differently,” says managing director Nick Kirby. “Our quest to find niche areas is well known.” Investment in equipment is one way the company has been able to stay ahead of the crowd, with the latest addition being a large-format litho laminator. Manufacturing space has also been purchased to house a dedicated screen-print facility.
