Global Stone Paving has introduced a new “innovative” packaging solution designed to make it easier for those handling its products.

Applicable to its Indian porcelain ranges across both its Global Stone and Digby Stone brands from this month, the “minimalist” packaging consists of fully recyclable plastic corners that are made from recycled plastic.

It avoids the use of cardboard, instead printing the product colour and batch number on each slab, with an improved pallet design to make handling and transportation easier for the distributor or merchant.

Global Stone Paving’s managing director Nick Sharpe says “it makes our products so much easier to handle and trace, rather than when they are wrapped in torn, often soggy cardboard. And it looks much more professional and tidier for the installer when they are carrying out work for a client.”

He says the new packaging “really enhances the premium quality of our porcelain paving and shows off the craftsmanship that goes into our products.”
