Secure packaging materials

THIS YEAR, UK consumers are expected to spend £26.9 billion online during the 2025 holiday period, marking a third consecutive year of positive growth and the highest online retail spend ever recorded (Adobe). Social commerce is rising rapidly too, with spending via social platforms having increased by 23.6% in October 2025 in comparison to last year.

This surge places persistent pressure on supply chains. Packaging distributors like Kite Packaging have recorded a consistent 25% uplift in order volumes and a 40% rise in turnover every November since 2004.
