In addition to our packing production warehouses where we can operate up to 7 lines simultaneously, we also have a temperature-controlled clean room with full food health, safety and welfare certification. We are even in the process of obtaining an Intertek Ethical audit.
Giftware packing
Our giftware packing service has continued to expand as our investment in equipment and personnel means we are able to offer an excellent service no matter how tight the deadlines. In the run-up to Christmas '08 we dispatched over half a million gift packs from a number of production lines; from fondue sets to wine and accessory kits.
Our large, ergonomically designed site enables us to unload containers, store the contents and then pack and despatch to order - we have everything we need on-site to enable rapid turnaround gift packing of almost any item
Stripping and labelling
As part of our continual investment in state of the art equipment, we are one of the few packing companies with a laser stripper for reworking canned goods. Our laser stripper means we can cleanly and accurately strip and re-label canned goods in no time at all. The re-labelled products can then be shrink wrapped on site, re-trayed, re-boxed, bar coded and dispatched.
FT Short offers a complete, professional solution for any type of reworking thanks to our state of the art facilities.
About FT Short
FT Short was formed in 1943, growing and packing produce for Lockwoods (now Premier Foods). After a period of steady growth, David Carter took the reins in 2004, taking the company forwards into a dynamic new phase as a contract packing and reworking specialist. FT Short now has a well-structured management team to ensure a rapid and effective response to all of our customers' needs. Contract packing and reworking is a competitive industry and our management team are primed to ensure FT Short remains innovative and progressive. As part of our ongoing investment programme, we have a bespoke database system that enables customers to log in and enjoy full traceability of their products and packaging. This is only the tip of the iceberg as we continue to invest in faster and more efficient packaging production machinery and systems.
We believe our people are an essential part of our success story, and as such we are committed to our employees, who are encouraged at every level to take advantage of the personal development and training programmes we offer.
We believe all of these factors combined will deliver to our customers an excellent and uncompromising service.
