You Can Trust

Finishing Line have been in operation in London, UK, for over 3 decades, operating out of one of the largest hand fulfilment centres in the UK. We’ve developed a hybrid formula, combining the latest IT systems with human dexterity and intuitiveness to provide a unique data-driven solution. This enables effective B2B Contract Packing, including management of your company’s item assortment, ensuring that all hand assembly, disassembly, and hand packing requests are carried out with speed, efficiency, and accuracy.


Contract packaging is the practice of outsourcing packaging tasks to specialized external companies. Businesses leverage contract packaging services to optimize their core functions while benefiting from expert assistance in design, labelling, filling, and bundling. This approach enhances efficiency, quality control, and adaptability to demand changes, ultimately streamlining the supply chain and ensuring products meet market standards. Contract packaging emerges as a versatile solution, enabling companies to focus on their strengths while entrusting packaging to dedicated professionals.
