Eco-friendly, protective packaging solutions for a range of market sectors including boardsports, drinks, cosmetics, electronics, homeware and commercial.
Environmentally friendly
Where possible, we use material made from over 85% recycled paper pulp while all virgin paper is FSC certified. All our packaging is curbside recyclable, biodegradable and compostable in 6 weeks. To date, with the help from our customers, we have removed over 1641km of plastic from the packaging industry.
Flexible & easy to assemble
Designed to be user-friendly, all our packaging is intuitive to assemble and uses minimal material, making it easy to slot into the production process. With the sleeve expanding to 35 times its compact size, our packaging is adaptable and can be applied across a wide range of applications.
Cost efficient
One pallet of Flexi-Hex is equivalent to five pallets of bubble wrap, reducing shipping and storage costs and ultimately the impact on our environment
Customisable
In the growing world of e-commerce, packaging is often a consumer’s first interaction with a brand. That’s why our boxes and wraps can be fully customised with your company branding.

Sliabh Liag Distillers set out to reclaim the almost lost distilling heritage of Donegal in 2015. Since then, we have brought our Donegal inspired spirits to the world, with our Silkie lrish Whiskeys, An Dúlamán Irish Maritime Gins and Assaranca Vodka now available on four continents, and having won some of the most prestigious awards in the spirits industry.
Our passion is to create soft drinking hard spirits, heavily influenced by the people, the history and the landscape of our beautiful south west Donegal Home. It is also vital to our mission that we create opportunity for what was once Donegals best export, its people. We employ almost 30 people, most of them at our Ardara Distillery and our bottling hall and admin hub in the village of Carrick, under the shadow of Sliabh Liag.

Dunphail is a resolutely traditional distillery, dedicated to crafting the finest whisky the way it used to be made. Our mission is to produce world-class full-bodied, fruit-forward single malt whisky using the full range of processes, each one shaped by generations of rich distilling heritage.
From malting the highest quality barley through to a demanding production regime that is completely guided by hand, we take all the time that is necessary with every stage of our whisky making process.
All of our barley is prepared inside our traditional malthouse, with working kiln and iconic pagoda roof. Our dedication to detail is demonstrated by using long fermentations, applying direct fire to our pot stills, alongside an extensive maturation policy for our casks. All of these help ensure that Dunphail’s whisky possesses unique flavour and character.
Dunphail combines its historical outlook to production with a forward-looking, innovative approach to whisky appreciation.

Woven want to redefine blended whisky. How it is perceived and how it is created and how it is experienced. We want to explode outdated, draconian perceptions about what blended whisky is, and instead ask the question - ‘What can blended whisky be?’
