Here’s a closer look at the accreditations we currently hold below.

FSC® Certified Packaging

We offer eco friendly cardboard packaging made using FSC® certified materials. FSC® stands for the Forest Stewardship Council. It’s a global, not-for-profit organisation that promotes responsible forest management.

When you choose FSC® certified packaging from Garthwest, you’re supporting forests, people, and wildlife. You’re also showing your own customers that your business cares about sustainability.

Luzette MarieSenior Events and Marketing Manager, EMEA – The Unruly Group

The Fatherson Bakery branded FSDU’s have gone down really well and allowed us to open up to new retailers. The branding and build quality make them robust and quick and easy to assemble. Thank you to the Garthwest team. As we need new POS, we will surely use you again.

Garthwest have been extremely helpful and flexible in designing & producing a product that was right for us and to a very tight deadline, brilliant service!

Costa Coffee Transformation Office Manager

I’ve worked with Lindsay and the team at Garthwest for many years and in this time they delivered a phenomenal service. They are a hugely reliable and trusted POS partner and together we achieved some amazing results. They managed impossible deadlines, brought life to complex, challenging projects, and worked tirelessly to reduce costs and wastage, without lowering standards or quality. If you need a first-class supplier of POS and in-store marketing materials, I would highly recommend that you contact Garthwest.
