Time To Buy Boxes

Manufacturing Potato Boxes is as one would expect, a very seasonal business, the busiest part of the year being April /May through to early November. There are therefore significant financial advantages for both customer and supplier should purchases be made out of season between November and March. We can often offer extended credit terms during the out of season period along with a discounted price, especially if early physical delivery is considered.
