Our process
At McLaren Divisions, we make it easy for you to get the protective packaging you need – safely delivered, cost-effective and built for performance.
With decades of experience and full in-house control, we guide you through every stage of your packaging journey – from early consultation to final delivery. Whether you're protecting bottles, components or high-value products, we work with you to create paper-based solutions that meet your performance, commercial and sustainability goals.
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..
OSP in Action
Every successful packaging solution starts with expert design. Our in-house design team works closely with you to understand your product, packing method and transit conditions. This ensures that your divisions or fittings – whether solid board or corrugated – are optimised for strength, protection and efficiency.
You’ll benefit from clear guidance on functionality, sizing and board selection, along with fast and accurate CAD sampling to test and approve before production.
Let us help you design a solution that delivers on every level.
