Where innovation
meets reliability
From humble beginnings as a paper and plastic bag wholesaler, to becoming one of the UK’s most trusted flexible packaging manufacturers, Clifton has spent over 40 years perfecting the art of protecting what matters.
 
Now proudly part of the CartonPack Group, we combine our deep expertise in flexible packaging for food, particularly protein, snacks, spices, ingredients and ready-to-eat products, with the scale, capacity and innovation capabilities of a pan-European leader.
 
From our Leicester base, we design, engineer and manufacture high-performance films and pouches, integrate packing machinery, and provide contract packing solutions via our partners, giving brands a genuinely end-to-end packaging partner under one roof.
 
Award-winning, technically driven, and committed to sustainable innovation, Clifton delivers packaging solutions that protect product integrity, extend shelf life and perform across the entire supply chain, whilst remaining competitive.
 

Flexible Films
Clifton offers comprehensive flexible packaging solutions, with advanced expertise in films and pouches for proteins, snacks, ready-to-eat, and other high-demand food categories.
