Frequently asked questions about Packaging

Can you provide a turnkey paper, packaging and recycling transport solution?

Yes, we provide fully integrated transport solutions for our clients, including the transportation of recycled paper into paper mills, for which we have a Waste Carriers Licence. We also manage the delivery of paper reels into packaging sites and the distribution of finished goods from the packaging sites to end customers, typically with an on-site management and planning team which works closely with the client’s customer service, production and warehouse teams.

How do you manage seasonal peaks in demand?

We have worked in this sector for many years and are therefore familiar with the seasonality profile. Our annual fleet replacement programme is geared around seasonal peaks in Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter, allowing us to extend older equipment leases and increase our driver pool nationally to meet demand during peak periods.

What kind of transport equipment do you operate?

Our fleet is specifically designed to meet the needs of the paper, packaging and recycling markets. Our fleet replacement programme ensures that we operate the most up to date and fuel-efficient tractor units and encompass the latest innovations in trailer design. All of our tractor units are Euro VI and plated at 44 tonnes, our new curtain-sided trailers are XL rated with strapping systems suited to this sector and have a 3.1m internal height for maximum cube utilisation.

Expertise blended with experience

To ensure the highest possible performance, customer service and planning, we usually have a number of EV Cargo employees integrated into the logistics team at manufacturing plants.

In addition to traditional paper and cardboard packaging, we also provide transport for some of the UK’s largest manufacturers of packing for food, consumables and health and beauty products.
