It’s A Wrap (N.E) Limited, was incorporated in Blyth, Northumberland in 2002 as the result of an analysis which clearly showed a dearth of similar services north of the Midlands. The Company was created to service, maintain and repair all types of flow wrapping and packaging machinery for clients’ in the North East of England. The Company name and motif represent a strong corporate identity and whilst ‘catchy’, also reflects the flow wrap and packaging industry.

Since inception It’s A Wrap has expanded to cover the North of England and Scotland and progressed to completing full refurbishment of flow wrapping machinery to clients and manufacturers’ specifications, both on behalf of clients’ and by purchasing second hand machines for onward sale at the specific request of a customer. The Company also provides spare and replacement machine parts, consumable materials, and offers flow wrap & packaging machine operator training for customer employees. Additionally, liaison with Record Packaging Systems Ltd, a major supplier of machines for the industry, has resulted in the Company arranging sales and completing installations and servicing/maintenance of machinery on behalf of Record Packaging.

From the start the Company has established a most creditable reputation in the packaging machine industry and now has a solid base of around 35 clients contracted to servicing and maintenance, our clients include well known household names such as Warburtons- Family Bakers and Pride Valley Foods Ltd
