Saxon Packaging has worked with the Beer Box Shop to create a bespoke printed beer advent calendar this Christmas.

This was not Beer Box Shop’s first Advent calendar project, but Saxon managed to improve the design and reduce the material quantity, resulting in a 10% saving in manufacturing costs and a further saving on the delivery cost, because of less weight.

Stuart Haggar, Saxon Packaging’s business development manager, said: “I created a design which involved a locking base to ensure the advent box maintained its sturdiness, and ensured the flute direction of the cardboard was optimised for stability.

“I am really happy with the end result and that we have a happy customer, and in turn, they have lots of happy customers!”

Simon Hulse, managing director of Beer Box Shop, added: “We have loved working on this project with Saxon Packaging, and they have delivered an excellent solution which is more compact, has saved on production costs, and is easier to construct for our customers.

“Stuart and the team at Saxon can always be relied upon to come up with unique ideas, and we are over the moon with the final product.”
