Contract Packing

At UK Sandbags, we understand the importance of meeting critical environmental targets in today’s industry. As the demand for sustainable, green solutions grows, we have seen increased demand from our client GeoGrow. Their Rootlok Vegetated Wall System has emerged as a transformative choice for retaining walls, slope stabilization, and erosion control.

We provide essential sandbag solutions, including sand-filled and empty sandbags. Our services extend beyond mere delivery; we also offer bag-filling services and maintain a substantial stock of over 15,000 pre-filled sandbags for rapid deployment.

Our unwavering commitment to efficiency sets UK Sandbags apart. Fast and reliable deliveries are our hallmark, making us the go-to choice for sandbags throughout the UK. As the highways sector evolves with a strong focus on sustainability, we are proud to support GeoGrow’s rollout of Rootlok.

Contract Packing Explained

Contract packing, also known as contract packaging or co-packing, involves outsourcing packaging services to a third-party company. We contract, pack, and partner with GeoGrow at UK Sandbags to produce their product. We are looking to partner with other businesses to deliver premium sandbags. Our custom solutions include:

  1. Filling Sandbags: Filling sandbags with sand or other specified materials ensures they meet the required weight and consistency standards.
  2. Custom Packaging: Customising packaging according to the client’s requirements, including specific bag sizes, branding, labelling, and other customizations.
  3. Quality Control: Implement quality control measures to ensure each sandbag meets specifications and standards.
  4. Warehousing and Distribution: Storing sandbags, managing inventory, and handling logistics of shipping and distribution to various locations.
  5. Product Range Expansion: Providing various packaging options, such as different materials for sandbags (e.g., woven polypropylene, hessian) or other contents (e.g., gravel, soil).

By offering contract packing services, we cater to various industries and clients needing sandbags for different purposes, such as flood defence, construction, and landscaping. This service allows clients to focus on their core activities while ensuring they receive high-quality, ready-to-use sandbags tailored to their specific needs.

Craig Midson, Managing Director of UK Sandbags, said:

“We see the sharp growth in the adoption of GeoGrow’s Rootlok system firsthand, given how many bags we fill weekly. The industry is changing for the better, and Rootlok is yet another step in the right direction for companies working in the highways industry.

“Supporting the rollout of a product that is so beneficial to companies across the sector on their long-term sustainability approach is something we’re really proud of. We are keen to work in partnership with our business to deliver more contract-filled sandbags.”

Sandbag Customisation

We proudly offer a one-off specialised service that others cannot provide; sandbags can be customised to any size, stitch, fill, or colour. We can use any filling you require, such as:

  • Earth, Grass Seed, Wildflower Seed: Perfect for landscaping purposes or road barriers, the seed will grow over a short period and create an attractive display – an environmentally friendly option.
  • Grade 1 Construction Sand, Cement, and Concrete:
    • Pre-filled Concrete Sandbags: The sand can be re-used for construction purposes.
    • Cement and Concrete: Filling a sandbag with cement and concrete creates a physical wall, providing a strong and secure enclosure.
  • Gravel, Rubble, & More: An endless range of materials can be used.

UK Sandbags continues to innovate and expand its offerings, ensuring that every client’s unique needs are met with high-quality, tailored solutions. Why not read our article on the highway industry’s website HERE?
