One Stop Purchasing
Efficiency across time, cost and resources is essential for any business. Through our group structure, we offer a One Stop Purchasing (OSP) service for all your packaging needs, without compromising on quality.
With all design and manufacturing based in Scotland, we control the full end-to-end process on-site. This gives you the advantage of a streamlined purchasing process with fewer suppliers and greater certainty.
Choose pre-assembled cases with your selected packaging format – tubes, cartons or rigid boxes – with protective divisions or inserts already packed inside and delivered on a just-in-time basis.
The benefits are clear and measurable: fewer vehicle movements, reduced storage requirements, lower transport costs, and simpler logistics and admin.
The design process can be complex – but it is where innovation begins. We are here to lead and support you throughout.
We understand the need for fast, reliable solutions. Our experienced design team handles complex briefs with precision, whether you need standard corrugated division styles or a fully bespoke insert solution.
With expert advice on structure, sizing, material selection and function, you benefit from an efficient, responsive design service that delivers results.
Manufacturing durable, high-performance division packaging is at the core of what we do.
We invest continuously in our people, processes and technology to deliver packaging that is time-efficient, cost-effective and sustainable.
Lean manufacturing is a core value at McLaren Divisions. It supports our commitment to doing more with less – less waste, less energy, less impact.
Our operations span multiple sites across Central Scotland, covering more than 270,000 square feet. We are always evolving to support our customers' growth and sustainability goals.
Ensuring your packaging is delivered in perfect condition, on time, every time, is critical.
Your brand’s reputation is reflected in your packaging, and we treat that responsibility with the same importance as you do. That’s why our logistics are managed with the same rigour as our manufacturing.
