About Transpack Ltd
Transpack Ltd - Packaging Supplies
Transpack is a long established family-run packaging and polythene supplier – and we recently celebrated our 60th anniversary! Based in Totton, Southampton, we are situated right on the edge of the picturesque New Forest, but our items have travelled far across the world from Iceland, to Hungary, and beyond.
Transpack started life as Transatlantic Plastics in 1953 in a single-room shop on Fulham Palace Rd in London, selling small quantities of Polythene bags with, or so the story goes, a shoe box for a till.
By the late 60's and early 70's Transatlantic Plastics had grown to become not only one of the largest suppliers of polythene bags, but also sold secondary double glazing, gardening, and DIY products in the South of England. We were supplying companies such as the Forestry Commission, various police forces, many hospitals and even British Airways with front wheel covers for the Concorde. We also had a manufacturing and special fabrications plant at Ventnor on the Isle of Wight and 18 retail shops!
The majority of our retail shops have since closed and Transatlantic Plastics has evolved into Transpack Ltd - expanding its ranges into the wide array of packaging and gift packaging products that you see on the current website today.
We supply packaging materials wholesale to small businesses, blue-chip companies and individual customers alike, working predominantly (although not wholly) with UK based manufacturers which means we can despatch large orders to you quickly. We are proud to support local and nationwide businesses, and if you are too then look for the Union Flag next to our items on their product pages – that means the item was made right here in Great Britain.
We are more than happy to offer advice on packaging solutions to suit your business, and can be contacted via phone, email, fax, or post. We'll provide you with as much information as we can – and we have recently invested in a new website with improved features to do just that.
Transpack uses the latest systems and technology to make sure the ordering process is as simple as possible and recent investment in a new ordering and stock control system has made your experience even better.
We are always on the lookout for new ideas and products which we can offer to our customers. To check out what’s new on our website please see our homepage for a handy list with links to our product pages.
