Cumbria Box supplies The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop with all its mail order boxes.
They are made from materials manufactured in the UK from over 80 per cent recycled paper. Run by husband and wife team Stephen and Louise Barkley from their home near Penrith, Cumbria Box is a niche packaging business focussed on supplying small quantities of bespoke sized cardboard boxes to local businesses in the region.


“All boxes are individual and made to suit each client’s requirements,” 
explained Stephen. “Many Cumbrian businesses reach a wider market by selling via the internet and we provide their packaging solutions.”


A qualified marine biologist, Stephen has more than 20 years experience of box making and has worked for one of the world’s leading paper companies.
Stephen and Louise strongly believe in Cumbrian businesses working together to help build a vibrant and growing local economy. “We are very pleased to be a supplier to Grasmere Gingerbread,” he said.
