our impact

EBIT has worked for a large number of retail brands leading packaging projects, including for many premium brands and where elements such as packaging quality and artwork are considered critical to the brand. We have also worked with brands to deliver innovation along with more environmentally friendly solutions.

Our approach usually extends beyond sourcing the packaging itself, working to deliver solutions that improve supply chain efficiency and take account of demand fluctuations, so that stock is always available. Having a good knowledge of packaging suppliers helps in fast-tracking to the right solution for a business.
