History of Export Packers

International Export Packers is a privately owned company with over 20 years experience as specialist export packers.  The company was founded in 1988 when Andrew Morris (Managing Director) and Ian Clifford (Sales Manager) identified a gap in the market for a professional export packing company in the East Midlands.

Export packing is a “passed down trade”, where training was very much in-house and packing methods were traditional.  International Export Packers (IEP) have many years experience and a number of family members within our staff that have taken export packing into the 21st Century with their expertise and extensive facilities.

We provide a specialized packing service that can be worked from you own premises or from our storage and packing site in Newark.  Whether you need a one-off wooden base, case or crate or more specialized export packing, IEP provides a high quality service to suit your specific requirements. 

Using Heat Treated timber, our cases are manufactured to International ISPM15 standards and are tailor-made to suit shipment by sea, air, rail or road to ensure that your cargo arrives at its destination in perfect condition.  Barrier foil or polythene is used as a moisture barrier and desiccant is added, taking account of the consignee’s climate and storage duration.  

Working together with our sister companies Trade Freight International, Irish Groupage Services and Trade Airfreight, we are able to offer a complete bespoke export case making, packing and transportation service.  Your goods can either be delivered in to our Logistics Centre, or we offer a collection service; through packing; storage; containerization; shipping or airfreight, all with full transit and customs documentation and insurance.

Andrew Morris and Ian Clifford still run IEP, from small beginnings it is now a multi-million pound enterprise with around 40 employees, but they still have the same passion that started the company, albeit with a few more years of experience under their belt!
