Welcome to Makkipak

We react when others dither, we deliver when others delay. Our success is built on being prepared.

Makkipak is a family owned business situated in the heart of Northamptonshire. Established in 1999 by Keith Rands-Allen the business quickly excelled in providing local businesses with bespoke corrugated boxes. In 2010 Makkipak purchased a new machine capable of manufacturing bespoke bubble bags. This part of the business quickly grew helping Makkipak to become an efficient and successful bespoke packaging manufacturer. With the acquisition of a second box making machine and die cutter we have all bases covered to provide the best possible solution to your packaging issues  We have always ensured we offer competitive prices for the other products too such as tapes, bubble wrap, polythene bags, stretch wrap and loosefill so that Makkipak is your one stop shop for packaging.

 

Why the viking ? 

Mak the viking is our logo because of our family connection to Sweden which has become a second home. The way Sweden connects with the environment is something we try to instil in our business model. Swedes keep life simple, packaging is cheaper and environmentally friendlier when its kept simple. No need to complicate a product when it will inevitably be recycled. Sustainability presumes all resources are finite and therefore should be used conservatively. Choosing packaging that doesn’t create excessive waste can be a step towards sustainability. Removing plastic packaging completely may not be the answer as full dependence on cardboard creates huge pressure on our forests. A reduction in waste and choosing a packaging solution that can easily be recycled or used again can significantly reduce your carbon footprint and put less pressure on our precious ecosystems.

 

There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes.

A popular Swedish saying which we strongly believe in, it’s all about adapting to the environment and getting on with it.
