With over 45 years of experience, the company has built a reputation for exceptional quality, creativity and innovation, making it a trusted partner to some of the world’s most iconic brands and retailers. From humble beginnings on a market stall in London’s Camden Lock, Silver Crane has grown into an internationally respected business, supplying bespoke food gifts to over 25 countries. These food-filled gift tins are not only functional but add value, enhance shelf presence, and leave a lasting impression. Driven by a commitment to quality, Silver Crane delivers memorable packaging solutions and food gifts from initial concept through to delivery. By collaborating closely with customers, the team develops unique, market specific designs that reflect each brand’s identity. With 12 in-house artists, a dedicated logistics team, and offices in both the UK and Hong Kong, the company provides a comprehensive end-to-end service, offering unique, shelf-ready products from its multiple Grade AA+ BRC-approved sites. Since the addition of its warehouses,

spanning over 80,000 sq ft, Silver Crane has evolved beyond a packaging supplier into a strategic retail partner. This expansion has allowed the business to streamline logistics and scale production – essential for competing in international markets against long-established domestic brands. A key component of this growth is the recent installation of a state-of- the-art food bagging machine, which enhances packing flexibility across product types and formats, allowing Silver Crane to adapt quickly to customer needs, support seasonal ranges, and efficiently serve both private label and branded lines. Receiving the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise marks a significant milestone in

International growth hasn’t come easily – it’s taken years of hard work, strategic change, and a relentless focus on the people behind the business.
