Davpack

General information

Davpack is one of the UK’s leading mail order packaging supplies companies, and together with Ratioform is the second biggest direct packaging suppliers in Europe, with an impressive network right across the continent and over 5,600 stock packaging products. Davpack is also the UK packaging supplier within the European Packaging Solutions section of leading global business equipment group, TAKKT.

The company was founded by Henry Davenport in 1968 and quickly became a major supplier of cardboard boxes, polythene bags, paper and retail packaging to shops and businesses in the Derby area. Sons Terry and Paul joined the family business (as well as Terry’s wife Carole), and expanded into mail order packaging and the manufacture of cardboard boxes in the 1990s. Internationally recognised quality accreditation was also achieved through BS5750/ISO9001.

As major UK packaging suppliers, Davpack embraced the development of the internet and in the late 1990s became the first and original UK source for companies wishing to buy packaging online. In the past decade, Davpack has grown substantially, with significant expansion of product ranges, staff and warehousing to move further ahead of its competitors.

In 2004, with the increasing expansion of its national Customer base and growth of new channels such as the internet, the Company became known as Davpack. Although it still firmly retains its roots in packaging supply, as the Company continues its growth into other areas, the change of name to Davpack reflects new energy within the business and a forward thinking approach to satisfying Customer's packaging and associated requirements.

In 2012 Davpack became part of Ratioform and the Packaging Solutions Division of TAKKT and Terry and Carole Davenport retired from the business, although Paul Davenport continues as Sales Director.

Today, Davpack is headed by Managing Director Barney Byfield, and continues to focus on offering superior choice, value and speed of supply. So much so, that there are now almost 4,000 in-stock packaging products available next day, and customer satisfaction is second to none, with a 5-star ‘Excellent’ customer feedback rating on Trustpilot. Meanwhile, for custom cardboard boxes and printed corrugated cartons and bespoke packaging, Davpack’s custom packaging team is on hand for expert help and advice.

Davpack utilises advanced computerised ordering and telecommunication systems, finest quality materials and recognised quality systems. Our unrivalled attention to detail ensures that Customers consistently receive the highest standard of service. The majority of packaging products in our catalogues and on our web site are available from stock for immediate UK delivery.
