Our Tube Process
Supporting you every step of the way.
At McLaren Presentation, we know your packaging needs to perform across design, function and sustainability. That’s why we provide expert support at every stage of your project, from initial concept through to manufacturing, quality assurance and delivery. With over 15 years of tube production experience and purpose-built facilities in Central Scotland, we combine innovation, precision and service excellence to deliver tubes you can trust.
Our design team works closely with you to create tube packaging that reflects your brand and protects your product. Acting quickly and proactively on complex enquiries or bespoke briefs, we provide detailed guidance on pack sizing, material selection and print.
Every design is presented for approval with CAD samples, fully printed mock-ups, colour proofs or renders — so you can refine and approve prototypes with confidence before production begins.
McLaren has been manufacturing paper-based tubes for over 15 years. From our dedicated site in Central Scotland, we offer a sustainable and reliable local supply chain with full control of the production process.
Our continued investment in manufacturing technology ensures we meet your quality, environmental and service requirements every time.
Our capabilities include:
- Round and shaped tube production
- Bulk or case-packed supply
- Integrated ERP system
- Automatic dock loading
Quality is central to everything we do. Our in-house QA specialists monitor production at every stage, identifying risks and guaranteeing compliance to ISO 9001 standards.
By keeping all manufacturing in-house, we ensure best practice is applied consistently, giving you confidence that every delivery will be right first time, every time.
We carefully manage logistics to ensure your packaging arrives safely and on schedule. Each pallet is barcode tracked, giving full traceability at every stage of the journey.
Our customers benefit from:
- Close motorway and ferry links from Central Scotland
- Transparent, tracked delivery services
- Reliable support from experienced logistics teams
- Proven international and UK distribution expertise
All your packaging, one coordinated supply.
Through our One Stop Purchasing (OSP) service, you can streamline procurement by sourcing everything from McLaren. With all manufacturing based in Central Scotland, we are uniquely positioned to assemble your full packaging requirements — reducing costs, logistics and environmental impact.
This means your presentation packaging (tubes, cartons, rigid boxes) can be delivered with divisions and corrugate already packed inside, supplied on a just-in-time basis.
