Newton Print

What Newton Print does

Newton Print, which rebranded to NewtonPak in 2025, is a UK-based custom printed packaging manufacturer founded in 1983. The company produces a range of packaging formats for the food and retail sectors, including cartons, pots and tubs, pouches, sleeves, shelf-ready packaging (SRP), and wallets, serving customers that span listed retailers (Sainsbury's, Lidl), large food manufacturers (Kerry Foods), direct-to-consumer and subscription food brands (Gousto, Mindful Chef, Brewdog), restaurant groups (Dishoom), and a long tail of regional and craft producers (Denhay, Soanes, Donald Russell, Trevco, Spice Kitchen, and others).

The business operates a B2B sales-led model with quote-based pricing on custom work, which is typical of the UK SME converter segment. Operations are based in the United Kingdom and there is no indication of international footprint. The company has invested in sustainability positioning, holding carbon-balanced printer accreditation from the World Land Trust and installing on-site solar generation in December 2025, both of which function as procurement-relevant credentials for brand customers with ESG mandates. Headcount is reported in the 11-50 range, and the company maintains a 4.8/5 rating across 3,618 reviews, consistent with sustained commercial activity.

The company is privately held and independent, with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership changes in the source material. The rebrand to NewtonPak, the solar investment, and the sustainability accreditation together constitute the most concrete recent strategic actions; underlying revenue, growth rate, and capacity utilization are not disclosed.
