Who are we

Established in the early 1980s in Leicestershire, UK, GVF Packaging began as Global Vacuum Forming Ltd, a venture driven by unyielding dedication to service, quality, and speed. Over decades, we’ve become the trusted ‘go-to’ vacuum formers in the packaging industry, and a reliable partner to many of the UK’s most popular brands. In 2019, we expanded our vision, diversifying into various packaging sectors to create a comprehensive ‘one-stop-shop’ for all packaging needs, right from design to packing and delivery.

As our range of services grew, we welcomed industry experts to our team, fueling our evolution. In 2022/23, this evolution prompted our rebranding to GVF Packaging, a name that aptly captures our broadened capabilities. Today, amidst a competitive market and rising environmental concerns, GVF Packaging proudly offers bespoke, affordable, and sustainable packaging solutions, tailored to meet and exceed your needs.
