Springpack’s 2021 Highlights
What another interesting year 2021 was. During a second year where many of us stayed at home, it was another year where community spirit was brought to the fore. Here at Springpack we have continued to support our customers throughout 2021, and it’s been another busy year for us. Why not take a look at some of our highlights!

Our Carbon Neutral Goal
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), online sales accounted for just 2.7% of total retail sales in January 2007. Unsurprisingly, the % is much higher now, standing at 25.5% for August 2021. The growth had been nothing short of rapid.
Interestingly, there have been ‘seasonal’ peaks since 2007, with the same month coming out on top time and time again… November has recorded the highest percentage every year from 2007 up to 2019. A large part of the November spikes can be attributed to the growth of Black Friday & Cyber Monday in the UK. Whilst some ‘bricks and mortar’ retailers are on-board with the event, it’s still very much digitally driven. Ordering items in time for Christmas also comes into play here too.
According to Forbes, sales recorded on Cyber Monday in the US in 2020 totalled a staggering $10.8 billion. Now, that’s a lot of products being purchased, packed and sent (and also returned). With such a large volume of products being shipped from online purchases, the growth of ecommerce packaging has been rapid too.
Lantech Partnership
During 2021, we were delighted to announce a product partnership with Lantech.
The product range offered by Lantech, is all about automation, and improving your operation efficiency. From Case Erectors to Case Sealers, if you are a high volume user of boxes, this could be right up your street!

New Product Launches
In addition to the launch of Lantech, we have been working hard behind the scenes to develop more of our own range of products too. As mentioned above, we’ve very much focusing on our eco-friendly packaging solutions.
For example, we have focused heavily on plastic-free products, such as Paper Tape. And we’ve recently launch some FRAGILE Printed Paper Tape. Our new rage of Returnable Postal Boxes offer an excellent solution for ecommerce companies, and they require no tape whatsoever. We’ve even launched a new paper-based strapping solution.
