The FastBox Story

We've been manufacturing corrugated packaging since 1997, right here in the heart of West Yorkshire.

We've turned experience into expertise

With decades in the industry, we know what it takes to design and deliver packaging that performs. Every lesson we've learned helps us serve you better today.

We've grown stronger by staying independent

Being family-owned means we make decisions that put customers first, not the shareholders. It keeps us flexible, responsive, and personally invested in every project.

We've perfected the art of reliability

Our just-in-time production model was built around your needs. We deliver with speed and precision, ensuring you get quality packaging exactly when you need it.

We've built a team that cares

Our people are our greatest strength. Skilled, approachable, and passionate, they work with you to create packaging that fits your product, your process, and your goals.

We've evolved with innovation at our core

From the latest machinery to smarter design tools, we continually invest in technology that improves consistency, efficiency, and sustainability, all for your benefit.

We've earned trust through partnership

Our customers stay with us because we see every order as the start of a relationship. We don't just make boxes. We make businesses stronger.

Each step of our journey has shaped FastBox into the trusted packaging partner we are today.

Our story is not only about the lessons we've learned, but about the progress we've made. From our founding in 1997 to the operation we run today, each milestone below reflects FastBox's growth, teamwork, and dedication. Take a look at the journey that brought FastBox to where we are now.

1997

Our Foundations began with a simple idea: Meet the growing demand for Just-In-Time Packaging.

Fastbox was founded with the aim to supply a mixture of wholesale packaging distributors alongside direct packaging users. Started by James & Jon Fuller, who both had previous experience operating integrated sheet plants and manufacturing sites across the UK, they saw a growing need for short-run, just-in-time packaging, and set out to fulfil that demand.

1997 - 2010

Multiple Machinery Acquisitions: Improving production capabilities and product library.

Over the first decade of producing custom packaging, we undertook multiple machine acquisitions to maintain an edge over our competition. From Print-Slotters to Flatbed Diecutters, these purchases ensured that we could keep up with customer expectations.

2013

Making a Move: We underwent a major project to move sites, increasing our production footprint to 60,000sq ft.

Moving an entire site full of machinery is no small feat, but we managed to successfully move all our machinery and increase our production footprint, allowing for further machinery investments to meet continued demand.

2021

Designing into the Future: Investments into people & machinery to meet customer design requirements.

During the final months of COVID-19, we invested in a Digital CAD Cutting Table. By doing so, we were able to rapidly produce prototypes and samples for customers.

2022

Volume with Value: Keeping our founding commitment alive with new machinery investment.

To keep up with our commitment to product Just-In-Time custom packaging, we installed a brand new 3m Casemaker. Now allowing us to produce Regular Cases & Shelf Ready Packaging with speed and precision.

2023

Environment at the Forefront: Putting money where our mouth is by accrediting our Sustainability.

Our team worked tirelessly throughout the year to bring our Management Systems in line with ISO9001 & ISO14001 Standards, as well as the Forest Stewardship Council's Chain of Custody Standard.

2024 & 2025

Weathering the Storm: With the Corrugated Market seeing a downturn, we doubled down on our capabilities.

We invested in two additional casemakers (2m & 2.5m Widths) to continue the growth seen in our regular case products. This has helped us weather the economic storm that has seen a number of competitors enter administration or merge into larger non-independent firms.

2026

Full Steam Ahead: With future growth expected, we continue to expand & invest in capital to stick to our mission.

With a new 15,000sqft Warehouse Facility launching in January 2026, and a new Eterna Diecutter being installed in March 2026, we plan to hit the ground running in an effort to continue our dedication to the Just-In-Time, short-run corrugated packaging market!

DIVERSITY

Empowering Our People

At FastBox, we know that our biggest strength is our people. We are committed to building a workplace where everyone is heard, every contribution is valued, and each individual has the opportunity to grow in their role.

Our modern slavery policy and ethical labour standards are key to the way the business operates, but our approach to diversity, equality, and inclusivity goes far beyond our policies. Through continuous learning, open dialogue, and fair opportunities.
