Explore →WHERE SEVERN IS DIFFERENT
More than pick and pack.
Many fulfilment requirements begin before an order reaches the shelf. Products may need bagging, wrapping, protection, labelling, bundling or rework. Severn brings those specialist processes into the same operation as storage and despatch.
01AUTOMATED BAGGING SERVICES
Consistent packs at repeatable volume.
For suitable components, kits and products, automated bagging can reduce manual handling and create a clean, consistent finished pack. Printed information, barcodes and product identification can be incorporated where the agreed specification allows.
- Components, spares and hardware
- Kits, multipacks and repeat product lines
- Short, scheduled or ongoing production runs
02SHRINK WRAPPING SERVICES
Presentation, containment and protection.
Individual products, grouped items and multipacks can be shrink wrapped to create a tidy, secure format for storage, retail presentation or onward distribution. The film, finish and process are considered around the product rather than treated as a standard solution.
- Retail-ready products and multipacks
- Bundling for distribution or promotion
- Repeat wrapping with agreed quality checks
03PRODUCT PROTECTION & PACK OPTIMISATION
Protection designed into the process.
The finished pack has to survive handling, storage and transport without creating unnecessary material, labour or cost. Our packaging background helps us assess cushioning, void fill, presentation and pack format alongside the operational requirement.
- Paper-based and protective packaging options
- Pack-format and material reviews
- Damage reduction and packing-efficiency considerations

PACKAGING INFORMED
Packaging decisions form part of the service—not a separate exercise.
Where a project requires it, Severn can review product protection, material use, pack format and packing efficiency as part of developing the finished process. Sustainability and relevant regulatory considerations can be included without losing sight of the primary requirement: protecting the product and delivering an effective operation.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Contract packing and fulfilment FAQs.
Every requirement is different. These questions usually help establish the right starting point.
What is contract packing?
Contract packing is the outsourcing of product preparation and packing to a specialist provider. It can include bagging, shrink wrapping, kitting, assembly, labelling, rework, quality checking and preparing finished products for storage or despatch.
Can Severn provide packing without full fulfilment?
Yes. Severn can support a defined packing or rework project without taking over storage, order processing or customer despatch. Services can also be connected when a complete operation is required.
Can specialist packing be included within fulfilment?
Yes. Automated bagging, shrink wrapping, kitting, labelling, product protection and other agreed processes can be incorporated before stock is stored or orders are despatched.
What products are suitable for automated bagging?
Automated bagging can suit many components, spare parts, kits and repeat product lines. Suitability depends on dimensions, handling characteristics, volumes and the required finished pack, so an initial assessment or trial may be recommended.
Where does Severn Fulfilment operate?
Our operation is based in Malvern, Worcestershire, serving manufacturers, product businesses and ecommerce brands across the UK.
