Eco-Friendly Food Packaging Solutions 

Sustainable Timber Packaging for the Food Industry Across the UK 

For over 50 years, Rowlinson Packaging Ltd has proudly supported the food industry by providing eco-friendly timber packaging solutions that are reliable, durable and sustainable. Based in the UK, we specialise in bespoke wooden packaging tailored for agricultural and food logistics. From sturdy wooden pallets to custom-built potato boxes, our sustainable food packaging is designed to protect perishable goods safely during storage and transportation. 

Working closely with growers, food processors, distributors and retailers across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and neighbouring counties, we understand the challenges of moving fresh produce, root vegetables and packaged foods. Our sustainable timber packaging provides a reliable and environmentally friendly way to protect your goods, whether shipping locally or across the UK. 

Why Choose Timber Packaging for Food? 

Why Choose Timber Packaging for Food? 

Natural Thermal Insulation

Wood acts as a natural insulator, helping maintain stable temperatures during transport and storage. This is vital for fresh or frozen produce, where temperature fluctuations can cause spoilage. Our timber food packaging helps extend shelf life by naturally regulating temperature, ideal for eco-friendly cold chain logistics. 

Every food business has unique requirements. Our in-house design team uses advanced CAD software and the Pallet Design System (PDS) to create custom timber packaging that fits your products perfectly. Whether you need bespoke wooden pallets or custom potato boxes for apples, dairy or meat, we deliver packaging that enhances protection and efficiency. 

At Rowlinson Packaging Ltd, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We are ISO 14001 and BS7611 accredited, guaranteeing high environmental management standards. All timber is FSC-certified or responsibly sourced, and our eco-friendly packaging is biodegradable, reusable and recyclable, helping businesses meet sustainability goals while reducing waste. 

Stock Readiness and Fast Delivery

We keep stock of popular pallet sizes (1200 x 1000mm and 1200 x 800mm) and potato box sizes (1.1T and 1.2T) for rapid dispatch. This enables us to respond quickly to seasonal harvest demands and urgent requests from customers across the UK food supply chain. 

Our wooden food packaging is built for longevity. Unlike disposable alternatives, our robust timber solutions can be easily repaired and reused, offering long-term cost savings. These durable products help reduce carbon footprint and improve supply chain sustainability. 

Timber's natural strength and flexibility provide superior shock absorption during transport, reducing damage to food products and ensuring they arrive safely from farm to fork. It's one of the reasons food producers and agricultural businesses in Norfolk rely on our timber packaging solutions. 

Timber Pallets Designed for the Food Industry 

Our food-grade wooden pallets are designed specifically for the food and agricultural sectors. Whether you're transporting fresh fruit, packaged goods or chilled produce, our sustainable timber pallets integrate seamlessly with your logistics system for a safe and efficient operation.

Eco-Friendly

High-Performance Potato Boxes for Agricultural Storage 

Used widely across the UK agricultural sector, our wooden potato boxes are perfect for storing potatoes, onions, carrots and root vegetables. Available in sizes from 1 to 3 tonnes, each box can be customised with solid or slatted sides for ventilation.

With automated robotic machinery and high-volume production capabilities (up to 200 boxes per day), we meet both bespoke agricultural packaging needs and high-demand seasonal supply, making us a trusted potato box supplier in the UK.

ISPM15 Certification: Essential for Export 

If your produce is destined for overseas markets, compliance with ISPM15 standards is essential. This certification ensures that timber packaging is properly heat-treated to prevent the spread of pests and diseases, meeting global import regulations. At Rowlinson, every packaging product can be heat treated and stamped with the ISPM15 mark, providing peace of mind and smooth border clearance.
