We’re your packaging partner.

about us

It might have started with packaging consumables back in 1979 when Garth Christie set Hazel up, but with over 40 years of packaging expertise under our belts, it’s about much more than that now. We’ve evolved into a leader in packaging consultancy services, solutions and machinery, working for some of the world’s most recognised brands.

We know the value of our deep knowledge, experience, and customer-centred approach – we call it adding a fourth dimension and it’s what makes us and our approach different.

Today, our brilliant team includes technical consultants, packaging technologists, project and procurement managers, many with over 20 years of specialist experience. It’s that expertise that makes our consultancy so valuable: we start by developing a real understanding of your company needs and current packaging and pallet-wrapping performance, before proposing innovative ways to optimise product protection and load stability, and reduce cost and waste.

Our approach is about empowering customers to keep their systems at optimal performance – that means giving them great equipment, great training, regular site-visits and support and a reliable source of innovative products and materials to keep them running smoothly.

The Ukraine Crisis

As the conflict in Ukraine intensifies, our thoughts are with the people of that nation. We have made the decision to support financially and have made a significant donation to the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) United Kingdom Operation 322 Ukraine support campaign.

Did you know?

In 2014, a fire completely destroyed our 50,000 sq. ft warehouse.

Despite this, in 24 hours, we’d dispatched fresh stock to our customers and didn’t let a single client down.

Our customers say it best

…here’s how delivering that extra dimension feels for them!

Warehouse manager and workers discussing with clipboard
After switching between suppliers for a few years, Reuben from Hazel 4D came in with the right prices and the right product to help our business grow including 4 pallet wrap machines that saved us so much money in machine film that they paid for themselves in 10 months. He is always keeping in touch and looking for different ways in which to save us time and money with new products.

Working with Hazel 4D has made our lives so much easier. Simon - our account manager - took the time to visit our warehouse and understand our needs and is always on hand if we need any help.

Operations Manager

Huge distribution warehouse with high shelves.
Our operators love Extremus 11 because it is so easy to apply. Our wrapping costs have reduced 30% which is great and our damage in transit rates have dropped. Excellent product, recommend it!

Warehouse Operations Manager, Logistics

David and his team are the only partner we've ever worked with who always deliver on time, on budget (and with a smile)!

Plant Manager

Not a single pallet has been returned from our customers. Why didn't we do this years ago?
