FACER celebrates 85 years in business

Celebrating a significant milestone of 85 years in the print and packaging industry, FACER. Progressive Printed Packaging is described as “a business which embraces its heritage and innovation in equal measure”.

A member of the British Print Industries Federation (BPIF), the company services a number of well-known brands such as Boots, Halfords, Tesco, Next, BarryM, John Lewis & Partners, Superdrug, and Sellotape.

An independent UK manufacturer, FACER has recently launched the first UK plastic-free blister pack. Combining innovative packaging solutions with impactful print and finishing techniques, the company says brands have already begun making the swap from plastic-based alternatives.

Luke Wilson, managing director of FACER says he often describes the company as an 85-year-old start-up. “Being young at heart is just as important for a business as it is for a person,” he says, adding: “When you’re young at heart, you’re more open; open to new opportunities, open to learn, open to change, and open to grow.”

According to FACER, it is the world’s fifth-largest manufacturer of printed products and employs 116,000 people.
