Thank you to everyone that entered our competition to Find Santa on our website.

Are you up for a little fun this festive season? If so, we’ve got a challenge for you! Running from the 4th – 15th December, our ‘Find Santa’ competition is here. Everyone can participate and it’s completely free to play.

Here's a question...

How much money does your business lose each year due to breakages? By that we mean returned sold items that have been damaged while in transit? Well, whatever that figure is, let's work together on it straightaway. Let's reduce that figure to zero, if we can. How? By ensuring that you're using the best, most suitable boxes for shipping purposes.

Who'd have ever thought that packaging tape could do all that?

Have you switched yet? To gummed paper tape, that is? If you haven't, now's the time. Macfarlane Online can offer you must-have gummed paper tape at competitive prices. But you probably want to know why you should even contemplate saying Hello to gummed, and Good Riddance to other types of tape, right? Right. Basically, when used with an electronic gummed tape dispenser, you're minimising wastage and getting a better yield from each roll. Simply cut your tape at a uniform size. As it sticks so well to cardboard, only one strip of gum-backed tape is all it takes to secure a pack. Job done.

Finding the right packaging solution for your business could really pay off

Successfully trading as a fashion retailer online is all about offering great merchandise at a great price, right? Wrong. Take shortcuts when it comes to product presentation and packaging, and you'll struggle to vie in what is becoming an increasingly competitive marketplace.
