Our Story

We've always been clever packaging people...

Right from the very start, back in the ’70’s when Mr Paul Barter saw that the shopkeepers of Somerset needed paper bags to package their goods in. Driving around to those shopkeepers and delivering their packaging in his trusty Ford MK1 Transit became the beginnings of the Wessex we are now.

Being based in the heart of Somerset, it wasn’t far to Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Avon, Wiltshire and Wales. Wessex became a recognised force in the world of packaging, helping businesses pack, store, wrap, stick and hold their goods.

For over 46 years, our family of experts has been making life easier for our customers. Which is the reason our team of technicians, buyers, logisticians, designers, sales and customer service agents come to work every day—a team of packaging professionals thinking about your business.
