Berlin Packaging expands its presence in EMEA with the acquisition of BlueSky.
If your production runs on packaging you don’t have space to store, or you’re tired of committing to 100,000 units from a manufacturer just to get a reasonable price and secure supply – that is what we built our service around.
BlueSky holds the stock. You call it off as your production requires. Bulk pricing, zero storage headache, and supply chain security from a UK-based team backed by Berlin Packaging’s global sourcing network.
For a health, personal care, beverage, home care or nutraceutical brand scaling from start-up to mid-tier, packaging procurement is one of the biggest operational stress points. Manufacturer MOQs are set for large-volume buyers. Factory lead times run 12-18 weeks. And most brands simply don’t have the warehouse space – or the working capital tied up in stock – to buffer those realities.
BlueSky’s supply chain service exists to absorb all of that. We source globally, hold locally, and deliver nationally – so your production line keeps moving regardless of what’s happening upstream.
As part of Berlin Packaging EMEA, we now source from a network of 1,700+ suppliers worldwide across 40+ EMEA locations. That means when a manufacturer has a production issue or a shipping delay, we have the relationships and breadth to find a solution without passing the problem onto you.
BlueSky has always sourced internationally — our manufacturing partnerships span Europe, Asia, and beyond. Since joining Berlin Packaging in June 2026, that capability has expanded significantly.
Berlin Packaging is the world’s largest hybrid packaging supplier, with 1,700+ suppliers worldwide and more than 40 EMEA locations. That network is now behind every order we fulfil — which means more material options, more supply chain resilience, and a faster response when you need something we don’t already stock.
For UK brands, what matters in practice is this: we proactively manage supplier risk so you don’t have to. We monitor lead times, flag potential disruptions before they become your problem, and have the breadth of relationships to find alternatives fast when they’re needed.
For stock and non-stock items on a scheduled order, the MOQ is 25,000 units. For the off-the-shelf orders from our in-stock range, there is no formal minimum — though our minimum order value is £500.
At the point of order, you agree a delivery schedule — dates and quantities for each draw-down across the 12-month period. We hold your total order and dispatch each batch as it falls due. If you need to expedite a delivery, contact your account manager and we’ll do our best to accomodate, subject to stock availability.
We’ll hold your stock for an agreed period. Storage charges of £5 per pallet per week apply and are invoiced monthly until the goods are despatched.
