Meet our New Additions

It simply wouldn’t do to let our new website pages slip by unnoticed, now would it? In our latest blog, ODL are unveiling precisely how our Bespoke and Printing services are transforming your packaging products. Read on to learn more.

Turn Heads

Gone are the days of sending purely functional packaging. Instead, ODL is embracing a two-pronged approach, combining practicality with aesthetic value. Using our bespoke and printing services, it’s possible to enhance the user experience, carefully keeping your audience in mind. By applying your eye-catching designs, brand colours and crucial information to your quality packaging product, you can turn heads to make your business evermore memorable.

Take Your Pick

Whether you want to emblazon mailing bags and carriers with your company motto, or wish to add a professional touch to those office envelopes, our packaging printing can accommodate. Offering this service on the vast majority of our products, ODL ensures that you’re not limited by choice. What’s more, our bespoke orders also extend to many of our items. From providing perfectly proportioned corrugated cardboard boxes to sturdy postal tubes, our custom-made products reflect all your packaging requirements.

It’s All in the Detail

It can be too easy to overlook the little details. But believe us; sending us the right amount of information makes all the difference for your end product. For this reason, we ask that you send our team as much detail as possible, from your pre-designed artwork to specific measurements. If creating your artwork proves a problem, then our design team may be available to help out. To learn more see our new Bespoke and Printing pages today or call the team directly on 01785 76 00 55.

Finding a piece of packaging that’s as practical as it is secure can prove a tricky task. Here at ODL, however, we’re always up for the challenge, with our Grip Seal Bags working their pragmatic magic. More commonly known as zip lock bags, learn how these packaging pros have your back, from storing the kids’ lunchtime nibbles to looking after those fragile electronics.

Whatever the Weather

Of course, we’re hardly inviting you to abandon your grip seal bags to the ravages of the British weather. That being said, these small bags are surprisingly resilient, boasting excellent moisture resistance. You needn’t worry about delivering even the most sensitive electronic component or precious piece of jewellery in these watertight grip seal bags. The secure seal feature is partially to thank for this ability, remaining firmly closed until the receiver chooses to open it.

On a Side Note

You can quite literally make a side note on our panelled grip seal gaps. Whether you’re poised with that permanent marker or have a ballpoint handy, these convenient write-on panels allow you to keep tabs on exactly what’s inside.

Get your packaging plans fully watertight and choose from our plain or panelled bags, available in a variety of sizes and quantities. Simply call our friendly sales team on 01785 760055 to order today or look online for our full range of high-quality products.

From those all-important official documents to the prized posters countless teenagers plan on hanging in their bedroom, ODL’s selection of postal tubes perfectly fit the job. With strength and durability on their side, we’re revealing how these quality packaging products keep your goods entirely intact.

Hard-wearing Option

Our postal tubes are your proverbial tough guy: made of high-density, spiral wound cardboard, these products positively embody durability. Thanks to this clever design, you needn’t worry about potential damage to your goods whilst they’re out on the road. What’s more, with their thick plastic plugs at either end of the tube, the packaging’s water resistance is promoted. Simply stick some extra tape around the ends to fully seal them up, and you’re good to go.

Finding a (Re)purpose

Arguably the best thing about these versatile products is that they’re completely reusable. Made from high-quality, heavy-duty materials, the postal tubes can be used time and again, be it for long-term storage or simply sending on further documents or goods. Better yet, you’re spoilt for choice. If you’re looking to make an impression, our coloured cardboard A4 postal tubes do exactly that, adding a touch of drama to the delivery. A4 just too big? Also available in A1, A2 and A3, we’ve got your back.

Whether you’re sending crucial documentation to clients or delivering a sought-after artwork to your customer’s door, our postal tubes are (quite literally) the strongest solution. Simply browse our full-range of our products online today. Alternatively, you can order today by giving our ever-helpful sales team a quick ring on 01785 76 00 55.

If you work in retail, you’ll know only too well that image really is everything. That said, keeping on top of an eye-catching window display isn’t the only opportunity to showcase your shop’s impeccable style. When it comes to ODL’s choice of high-quality carrier bags, we’re urging you not to neglect those lasting impressions.

The Luxury Look

Heading up a flourishing boutique? Or perhaps you’ve got a shop full of lovely luxury goods? Whatever you do, don’t let the standard slip. Thanks to the classy design of our Black and Gold Stripe Plastic Carrier Bags, your customers can revel in that sense of luxury from the moment they step in to the moment they leave. Better yet, with these HDPE polythene bags being fully recyclable, you can subtly advocate your brand’s green credentials. Who knew a carrier bag could do so much?

A Splash of Colour

Alternatively, your shop might be vying against a host of high-street heavyweights. In which case, throw your hat into the ring and make a statement with our vibrant Varigauge Carrier Bags. Coming in 8 attractive colours, from Harrods green to deep burgundy, these stand-out bags can even be emblazoned with your company branding. What’s more, these packaging wonders are tougher than their looks suggest. Combine this durability with their striking design, and your customers are bound to reuse them, boosting your business’ environmental awareness.

Is your business after a statement piece? Available in a variety of sizes and quantities, you can carry it off with our quality carrier bags. Just call our friendly sales team today on 01785 76 00 55 to order or to discuss custom options.

Here at ODL, we’re putting our array of top-quality bags on show. No, they might not be the high-fashion type, but we can guarantee one thing: you’ll soon be glad for their practical virtues.

Light as a Feather

When it comes to posting your parcel, we understand that you want packaging peace of mind. Luckily, our 80g clear polythene plastic bags are cleverly designed to give your delivery that essential extra layer of protection without adding unnecessary bulk or weight. Keeping your goods from dust and moisture, these handy bags can be easily slotted into your external packaging. Don’t be fooled by appearances. Though lightweight, these sturdy bags are truly hardwearing meaning you can go on to use them time and again if needed. Similarly, our clear grip seal bags available plain or panelled are fully watertight, putting any contamination worries to rest throughout delivery.

A Heavyweight

Perhaps you have an altogether more industrial purpose in mind? In which case, our 100 micron 400g clear polythene bags perfectly match the job description. Being the thickest polythene bags in our collection, you needn’t worry about being heavy handed with these hardwearing products. From fine gravel to nuts and bolts, your construction components can be taken care of with these versatile bags.

Sometimes it’s the unassuming heroes that deserve some praise. In the case of our simple but effective Grip Seal Bags, that story couldn’t be truer. We don’t want to labour the point, but here at ODL we’ve been busy outlining how these high quality bags really seal the deal on your storage solutions.

Versatility

Variety is the spice of life and when it comes to finding alternative storage options, Grip Seal Bags (otherwise known as zip lock bags) certainly tick the ‘versatile’ box. Whether you’re looking to store fragile items, for instance small electrical appliances, or even looking to tidily organise your kitchen, these nifty little bags can accommodate. Thanks to their watertight nature, you needn’t worry about moisture negatively affecting the contents, with the secure seal further eliminating any chance of contamination. What’s more, once the initial purpose of your bag has run its course, who’s saying what else you can put it to use for? Being readily reusable, these bags are a wise economical choice.

Practicality

Aside from the obvious practical benefits of their moisture resistance, the thoughtful design behind these products doesn’t end there. In need of a simple food storage option? With our Grip Seal Panel Bags, you can easily label the contents of your bag accordingly. Working with ballpoints and permanent markers, the panel conveniently allows you to keep tabs on crucial best-before dates.

Get a ‘grip’ on your storage solutions today with these handy bags. With either plain or panelled bags available in a variety of sizes and quantities, the choice is entirely yours. Simply order online or call our friendly sales team today on 01785 76 00 55.

With supermarkets having brought in the notorious (though environmentally friendly) five pence charge for carrier bags, it’s about time to follow suit and fit out your retail store with an equally ecological solution. That’s where our HDPE polythene bags and varigauge carrier bags step in. What’s more, we think their versatility might just surprise you.

Re-Use or Recycle

Far from abandoning the plastic carrier bag, here at ODL we’ve identified a practical compromise. By ensuring our bags are 100% recyclable, it’s possible for your company to invest in these handy pieces of packaging without developing a guilty conscious. Alternatively, thanks to their high quality manufacture, it’s also possible for customers to simply re-use their carrier bags, meaning they too can maximise their own green credentials. Boasting a 4” reinforced bottom gusset, not to mention double thickness of 90 microns around the handle, our varigauge carrier bags are a truly durable option.

That Finishing Touch

Aside from the convenience of providing your customers with a packaging solution for their purchase, investing in our attractive carrier bags also leaves a lasting impression about your company itself. Indicating that you take pride in the presentation of your products, we offer a range of designs to choose from. Whether you select the understated, classy carrier, coming in black and gold stripes, or opt for our vibrant varigauge bags available in 8 colours, you’ll be leaving customers with a subtle reminder of your attention to detail.

Available in a variety of sizes and quantities, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Pull it out of the bag and order your wholesale carrier bags online today or call our friendly sales team on 01785 76 00 55.

Here at ODL, we understand that more often than not, general office supplies seem to be there one minute, and vanished into thin air the next. This commercial conundrum can leave your employees scrambling for the last piece of paper, or scouring for residual stock, all the while using up precious business time. It’s with the hope of ridding workplaces of this frustration that our Staffordshire based supplies address business needs, providing practical solutions to prevent those office stalemates.

Taking the Orderly Approach

We have to admit it: we’ve got something of a passion for organisation. With our high-quality office products, it’s possible for you to inherit some of that organisational zeal and put it to good business use. From our selection of multi colour or plain dividers to handy punched pockets, critical documents can be efficiently and safely consigned to our ringbinders, minimising downtime unnecessarily spent searching for those elusive records. What’s more, with our supplies available in bulk, you’ll be able to put your forward-planning to the test with the help of our long-term solutions.

Communication is Key

Living in a world of constant communication with instant messaging at our fingertips, we can lose sight of the need for physical announcements. Offices are inevitably busy environments, with emails bouncing from user to user. Yet in amongst the buzz of all these virtual conversations, it’s vital to keep your office abreast of collective responsibilities- and we’ve found that, just sometimes, a functional fix is best found in the simpler solutions. From the trusty notice board to ever-reliable whiteboards, employees can be succinctly reminded of upcoming events or projects, without the distraction of those continual computerised messages. To labour our point further, with just 7% of communication being verbal, it’s useful to find an effective prop to help elaborate your points in crucial business meetings. Cue the humble flip chart. An office essential for decades, this product has stood the test of time, and with its simple practicality it’s deserving of a place in any office.

Delivering Affordable Answers

Office supplies aren’t mere luxuries. They’re the unassuming workplace helpers, eliminating the occupational onus of being ill-equipped for day-to-day tasks. Aside from the fact that our products leave you with bountiful store cupboards, you can happily fill each shelf without fretting about the impact on your business finances. ODL’s primary concern is that customers are beyond satisfied with our supplies. As we see it, part and parcel of that service is a competitive price for these essentials that doesn’t blow your monthly budget. Couple this with our various delivery options covering the whole of the UK, and your office functionality is but a click away.

With increased business productivity, comes an increased need for appropriate supplies. Pre-empt your supply needs by browsing the full-range of our products online today. Alternatively, you can order today by giving our ever-helpful sales team a ring on 01785 76 00 55.

Save More than Just Weight

Here at ODL, we’ve got one pretty simple ethos; to provide the best packaging supplies at cost-effective prices. Sure, we throw in a few puns here, and give out a bit of free packaging advice there, but mostly we care about helping clients get more for their packaging budgets. From registering online to picking your packaging up from our Stoke depot, there are loads of ways to get more materials for your money, so check out the full article below to start saving.

Bulk Savings

The easiest way to save money with ODL is to register with us online today. Registered customers get 10% off every order over £100, 7.5 % off every order between £50 - £100, and 5% off every order under £50 - and when you think about it, that’s quite a lot of envelopes when you add it all up. “But won’t I have to spend ages filling out tedious forms?” you might ask. On the contrary, our form takes only a few minutes to complete, and you can even do it when you’re placing an order. “Oh okay, so then I’ll just get bombarded with marketing emails about highlighters and envelopes, right?” Wrong! ODL don’t send out marketing emails just yet, but when we do, they’ll be a tailored selection of offers suited to your business’s needs.

The Personal Touch

Here at ODL, we’re always looking to build relationships with local businesses, and indeed companies across the UK, who value our personal approach to business. With that in mind, we’re happy to discuss bulk or recurring orders directly over the phone, and offer unique discounts or allowances on a customer-to-customer basis.

More Than Your Average Packaging Company

If the team here at ODL had a pound for every time one of our customers turned around to us, slightly stunned, and said “Oh - I didn’t realise you sold those!” we’d have a solid... well, let’s just say we wouldn’t be spending our days packing bubble wrap in the workshop. When we set up ODL, we wanted to become a convenient, one-stop-shop service for offices, distributors and sellers around the country, offering a whole range of stationery and packaging supplies. Because let’s face it, if you’re ordering loads of envelopes with us, you’ll probably need paper to fill them with, likewise if you’re purchasing rolls and rolls of bubble wrap, you’re going to be needing postal boxes to put them in.

The point being, here at ODL we stock a wide range of supplies for the modern business, and we wanted to use this opportunity to tell you all about them.

Office Party

Although many wouldn’t care to admit it, we’ve made enough deliveries to know that everyone secretly loves new stationery day at the office, which is why we strive to offer a wide range affordable, convenient products, all from our website. You might regularly order paper from us that goes on to be used in pitches and very important looking meetings, but did you know that you could be delivering those same meetings on our range of whiteboards and notice boards? Alternatively, that same paper on which you print your memos, letters and minutes could very well be trimmed using our trimmers, or even filed and stored efficiently using our vibrant ringbinders and dividers. And you know what they say: “Clean ring binder, clean mind” - right?

Spoilt For Choice

The wide range of non-standard products we offer, however, isn’t just limited to office supplies and stationery; our product lines are carefully chosen to cater to every requirement of the modern ecommerce retailer. Yes of course we sell the normal stuff; we’ve got more postal boxes than you can shake a stick at, and enough rolls of bubble wrap to survive a considerable fall. But did you know that we also offer a wide range of mailing bags, metallic bubble bags and capacity book mailers to help keep distribution costs down whilst affording your parcels the protection they deserve? No? We thought that might be the case.

Range without Compromise

Whether this is your first order or your five-hundredth, ODL invites you to explore our website today to learn more about the wide variety of products we sell. Customers can save time, effort and (most importantly) money, by placing orders with us directly - you can even Register with ODL to receive further discounts on our premium stock! Now, we bet you weren’t expecting to hear that from a packaging company today, were you?
