What our customers say...
GWP Correx have been a great supplier for us. The new boxes they have produced not only provide the required functionality but also serve as a key tool for advertising and brand awareness. The boxes last so much longer whilst maintaining a consistent appearance. The team at GWP were friendly, knowledgeable, and couldn’t do enough to help throughout the project.
Nick Buckland | Director and Co-Founder | Yard Sale Pizza
It may have been a small problem in the scheme of a four-year multi-million pound re-development of the terminal, but sourcing of the check-in desk bins had turned into quite a headache. GWP really helped us out. They quickly came up with a simple but very effective Correx solution. We’re very pleased with the outcome and we had quite a fun and successful team building hour putting them all together!
Paul Wilson | Project Manager | Heathrow Terminal 2
We previously used cardboard but needed something more robust and with better performance around water. GWP supplied us with company branded Correx boxes to transport water samples back to the lab. Lead time and price were both excellent. The team and service was quick, reliable, helpful and friendly.

FAQs
What is Correx®?
Correx® is a twin-walled, fluted polypropylene sheet. It is also commonly referred to as corrugated plastic, or even plastic cardboard. The material is durable, lightweight, and moisture- and chemical-resistant. Experienced packaging manufacturers can convert it in a manner similar to corrugated cardboard, making it ideal for the manufacture of reusable packaging products.
What products can be made from Correx®?
Correx® is suitable for the manufacture of a wide range of products. Options include returnable packaging, such as tote boxes, trays, divider sets, Correx® boxes, layer pads and custom fittings. Correx® is also popular for creating picking bins for use in warehouses and eCommerce fulfilment centres.
Is it possible to purchase Correx® sheet material?
It is possible to purchase Correx® in its material form. Correx® sheet is often used for floor and surface protection in construction industries, as well as for templating, signage, and packaging applications. Please note that GWP Correx® can only supply packaging-grade Correx®.
Is Correx® suitable for reusable packaging?
Correx® is a great choice for reusable packaging. As with moulded plastics, it is lightweight, strong, long-lasting, easy to clean and cost-effective. However, the biggest advantage of Correx® products is that, unlike rigid plastic containers, they can be manufactured in custom sizes and styles to suit a specific application, product, or environment.
How are Correx® products manufactured?
The manufacturing processes for Correx® and similar corrugated plastic products are similar to those of corrugated packaging. Initially, die-cutting equipment cuts and creases the material, ready for assembly. Depending on the design, you can add fixings such as handles and stacking corners. However, the main difference between Correx® and corrugated cardboard is that whilst cardboard typically uses glue (if required), Correx® uses press studs, heat welding or ultrasonic welding for its fixings.
