Transit Packaging specialists

At our Cepac Rawcliffe site, we design and produce the definitive range of transit packaging. Since our inception we have focussed on Performance Packaging, ensuring that we make the most of the best papers through clever design and rigorous testing. Our Performance Packaging strategy has transformed corrugated packaging through the application of science and new technology.

Our transit packaging is durable, versatile and includes options for decoration. Whether you’re looking for E-Commerce packaging, pallet boxes or more specialised solutions, we’ve got options to suit. The Workshop at Rawcliffe is the ideal venue to design something totally unique. Spend a day with our team and take an idea from design concept to prototype.

Last year the site picked up the award for Reusable Pack of the Year at the UK Packaging Awards. This is just one example of the innovation and design expertise we pride ourselves on at Cepac.

With a long history of working with household names you can trust our design team with your brand.

Expanding client base

Cepac has supplied the food and drinks market since our earliest days. Our Rawcliffe site is probably best known for chemicals, dangerous goods and transit packaging.

However, Rawcliffe also produces a range of speciality packaging in place of ‘single-use-plastics.’ Pizza bases produced from paper, for example, have replaced the former polystyrene discs. Cepac has a pipeline of new paper-based products which have been developed expressly for food packaging.

Cepac are innovators and pioneers, producing high quality corrugated solutions. Rawcliffe has BRCGS accreditation to AA status as well as passing the AA+ grade with an unscheduled visit by BRC in summer 2022. These key developments all allow us to supply a growing range of packaging for food and pharmaceuticals markets from the Rawcliffe site.

High quality post print

As a group, Cepac have investigated and invested in a multitude of print technologies and processes. We are firm believers that every project deserves the right print for the job.

To support this, a multimillion-pound investment programme is currently underway to install state-of-the-art technology including the very latest high quality printer from Koenig and Bauer which is being commissioned in the first half of 2023. This will be a significant installation at the Rawcliffe site.
