Celebrating Encircle: Sustainable, high-impact packaging from Stell
At Stell, we’ve built our reputation on delivering high-quality cardboard tubes and cores for industrial applications. But this year, our retail division, Encircle Packaging has also shown really strong growth and extended our success beyond our traditional offerings. We’re really proud of Encircle’s premium ‘retail’ quality tubes, here’s a short explainer on our rapidly growing and wonderfully creative retail division.
What is Encircle Packaging?
Encircle Packaging, a division of Stell, combines our sustainable cardboard tube production with high-quality, printed labels. This unique partnership with expert printers allows us to create visually stunning, eco-friendly packaging for a range of retail products, such as:
- Whisky and spirits
- Candles & Reed diffusers
- High-Spec Engineered or Industrial components
- And more!
With consumers increasingly seeking sustainable and visually distinctive packaging, Encircle has tapped into a growing market by offering fully recyclable, locally sourced solutions that stand out on the shelves.
What makes Encircle Packaging unique?
Encircle Packaging offers a variety of standout features, including:
- Exceptional quality print: We partner with expert printers to create retail-standard labels, which are lap-wound onto our cardboard tubes for a seamless, professional finish.
- Eco-friendly, premium packaging: Our tubes are paired with all-cardboard closure options, like the disc and end-turn, creating a fully recyclable package that supports your brand’s sustainability goals.
- Flexible applications: From luxury spirits to artisanal candles, Encircle Packaging is designed to accommodate a wide range of products. This versatility makes it ideal for brands looking to differentiate themselves with both style and sustainability.
- Bespoke and smaller volumes. For super premium products, such as spirits and whiskies, volumes can be low. Encircle can offer a solution in this segment
Why the growth of Encircle matters
Over the past 12 months, we’ve seen incredible growth in the demand for sustainable packaging solutions, driven by consumers’ increasing awareness of environmental impact. As more brands look for alternatives to plastic, Encircle Packaging has thrived by offering a locally made, environmentally friendly solution that doesn’t compromise on aesthetics.
Stell Customers for Encircle Tubes?
While Encircle primarily serves retail (B2C) clients, we’ve also had the pleasure of completing several exciting projects for industrial (B2B) customers who wanted to explore creative packaging options. This blending of industries has only fuelled our growth, as more businesses realise the value of premium, eco-conscious packaging.
