responsible packaging

At Lesters we’re changing the packaging industry for good. And that means a commitment to sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. As a certified member of the Forest Stewardship Council® and having achieved CarbonNeutral® company certification, sustainability runs through every element of our supply chain.

Playing Our Part

As a certificate holder of the Forest Stewardship Council®, we are committed to ensuring that responsible practices run through every element of our supply chain. From the procurement of 100% recyclable and biodegradable materials to reduced wastage within the manufacturing process and reduction of the carbon footprint of our transportations.

Single-material packaging solutions mean that the deconstruction and recycling of our packaging doesn’t require additional services or labour to separate materials, saving out client’s time and money.

With over a century of combined experience, Lesters is proud to work with our clients to produce environmentally friendly packaging solutions that meet their bespoke requirements.

CarbonNeutral® Company Certification

To achieve CarbonNeutral® company certification, Lesters is working with the leading experts on carbon neutrality and climate finance, Natural Capital Partners. Lesters had an independent assessment of the greenhouse gas emissions produced from its packaging production. Lesters is reducing its emissions as much as possible by increasing the efficiency of its production and streamlining its delivery procedures.

To meet our carbon neutral goal, our offsetting programme delivers finance to emission reduction projects, supporting the transition to a low carbon global economy. All the projects are independently verified to ensure emissions reductions are occurring. This ensures the highest environmental integrity in our work to have an immediate, positive impact on the climate.

What our happy clients say about us

"Lesters have become our trusted partner for packaging solutions, so much so that when we diversified into
e-commerce, they were the first people we spoke to. They worked closely with us to create a bespoke packaging solution and their advice, expertise and design innovations were invaluable in us becoming a success in a market we’d had little experience in."

"We were having very little luck finding a suitable packaging supplier for our premium radiators until we contacted Lesters. It was obvious straight away that we’d found the right partner. Their responsiveness was impressive. From initial sample, through to estimate and print specification, all the way to delivery – the whole process was seamless and efficient, and we’ve worked with them ever since on a variety of projects."

"We work closely with Lesters and value their advice and input across our entire packaging range. The bespoke mirror packaging they created for us reduced material cost and packing time giving us much greater efficiency in a high-volume product range!"

"I couldn’t recommend the team at Lesters enough. I came to them with an unusual project that required a unique packaging solution and they have returned a product that is perfectly fit for purpose. Their efficient design team quickly produced a design proposal that allowed us to get a product to market as quickly as possible. If you’re looking for an efficient team, who return high quality solutions whilst keeping you in the loop throughout the whole process, look no further."

"We have been using Lesters for many years and they’ve always offered a reliable and quality service. One thing that has always stood out is their excellent communication. Our Account Manager is always available, and questions and updates are provided quickly. From design through to delivery they have always been easy to deal with, offering a professional but friendly service."

When we launched a new product, we needed to make sure we could package and despatch it efficiently and securely. Through innovative design and clever use of materials, Lesters were able to produce a pack that not only minimised our unit cost but also allowed us to store and transport more products and reduced our overall packing time.
