How It All Started
Garthwest began in 1964 in Hull, East Yorkshire. Founders James and Elizabeth West saw a need for reliable corrugated cardboard packaging and got to work. What started as a supplier of boxes to the fishing trade soon grew into one of the most trusted packaging manufacturers in Yorkshire.
James West was a problem solver and a builder of ideas. He wanted Garthwest to lead through innovation, not just follow. His goal was simple: create strong packaging with purpose, and help other businesses grow through it.
That same drive helped us launch Garthwest Creative, where packaging design, POS displays and print come to life. Our creative team works with local startups, growing firms, global brands, and anyone needing packaging or custom die cut cardboard displays that get noticed and drive sales.
Where Are We Now
We now work with businesses across sectors like FMCG, fresh produce, healthcare, and more. Some clients need transit packaging, other shelf-ready packaging (SRP) or e-commerce boxes. Many come to us for cardboard POS, such as product activation stands or free standing display units.
No matter the job, we bring the same approach. We listen, we plan, we create, and we support. We offer packaging solutions in Yorkshire and beyond, using smart designs to reduce waste, cut costs, increase shelf appeal, and support your goals.
Our factory in East Yorkshire produces everything from conventional cardboard packaging to bold bespoke POS displays. We also make cardboard produce trays, branded ecommerce postal boxes, and prototype boxes to help test your next big launch.
Meet the Garthwest Team
We are more than a team, we’re a family. We’re designers, makers, problem-solvers, and helpers. You can call us for advice, ask for something new, or challenge us with a tight deadline. We’ll be there.
When you choose Garthwest, you get more than eco friendly cardboard packaging or clever POS displays. You get people who care about your products, your brand, and your business goals.
We use advanced tech and real-world knowledge to deliver fast, flexible service. Our aim is to make packaging that fits your budget, strengthens your brand, and keeps customers happy.
“The basis of our success is our customer focused approach, underlined with a robust approach to quality.”
Lindsay West – (Managing Director)
