When you work in sectors such as automotive, aerospace or medical, the parts you move around the globe are anything but ordinary. They’re often made from carbon fibre, high‑performance fabrics or other advanced materials that must resist extreme heat, pressure and moisture better than any conventional plastic or metal alloy can manage.
At Lesters Packaging, we specialise in creating packaging that protects these high‑value components, while trimming costs, waste and risk from your supply chain. To find out how we do it, watch our video below.
Why Advanced Materials Need Specialist Packaging
- Surface sensitivity – carbon‑fibre laminates can scratch or delaminate if they flex against a hard edge.
- Environmental control – prepreg resins cure prematurely if exposed to heat or moisture.
- Dimensional stability – aerospace tapes and technical fabrics must remain perfectly flat to feed automated lay‑up machines.
- Regulatory traceability – lot numbers, documentation and orientation labels must stay attached.
A “one‑size” carton simply can’t tick all those boxes.
No “One‑Size‑Fits‑All” – And Proud of It
We’ve handled everything from automotive trims to multi‑tonne fabric rolls. Some parts must be suspended; others bonded; and more. Because we’re not obliged to selling you extra square metres of board, we refuse to over‑engineer. You get exactly the material you need, no more, no less.
We’re a Team That Lives and Breathes Innovation
Our engineers and designers have decades of hands‑on experience not just in packaging, but in the manufacturing processes your products pass through. Because we invest heavily in state‑of‑the‑art equipment, design software and logistics know‑how, we’re able to design, manufacture and deliver packaging that marries perfect protection with first‑class customer service.
Two Core Strengths: Sustainability & Optimisation
Sustainability is More Than a Buzz‑Word
We frequently replace plastics, timber and other legacy materials with recyclable or reusable alternatives. Whether it’s corrugated cardboard, engineered to outperform foam or cleverly designed returnable crates. All our advanced‑material packs carry FSC® certification, contain up to 87 % recycled fibre and are CarbonNeutral®. At end‑of‑life they slide straight into OCC streams, no mixed‑material headaches.
Supply‑chain optimisation
Packaging isn’t just a box; it’s an opportunity to remove cost from every stage of the value chain. By right‑sizing packs, improving pallet fill, or shaving seconds off each pack on the line, we routinely cut total system costs.
Stronger. Smarter. Greener.
