In 1996 Henk de Jong started to deliver corrugated trays for the fresh produce market. Henk started in the town Westmaas and in 2007 the company moved to the current location in De Lier. De Jong Packaging is a independent corrugated supplier. In 2023, De Jong Packaging was acquired by Stora Enso, the market leader in renewable products across various sectors.

In 2023, Stora Enso acquired De Jong Packaging Group, making it the owner of the company. Stora Enso is a prominent global player in the bioeconomy and is known for its leadership in renewable products across various sectors. The company is also one of the world’s largest private forest owners, advocating for the use of trees in manufacturing goods to replace reliance on fossil materials.

Within the Packaging Solutions division of Stora Enso, De Jong Packaging Group, which includes De Jong Verpakking, forms the Business Unit Western Europe.

That is hard to tell. It depends on construction, size, board grade, fluting, print, incoterms and quantities.

We offer a wide range of stock boxes in the fresh produce industry. Other boxes can be made to order. You can find a wide range of stock boxes with Twinpack.

Our standard lead times are 5-10 working days for repeat orders. For boxes we have in stock we can deliver within 24 hours.

Corrugated cardboard is produced by gluing 3 layers of paper together. The middle layer of paper is a flute. You can see this by looking inside at the side of the corrugated cardboard. The height of the flute can vary. It is also possible to produce double corrugated cardboard, where you can see 2 flutes. This corrugated board is then further processed in the factory on our processing machines. There the boxes are printed, possibly folded and glued. These are then delivered to the customer on pallets or go through the erecting hall and are then delivered to the customer as erected trays.

Corrugated cardboard is often used as shipping packaging or box for storage and this can be for various products, such as tomatoes, computers, shoes or eggs. Corrugated cardboard is easy to process and print and this way cardboard boxes can easily be produced custom made.

Preprint is a type of print whereby the paper is printed before delivery to our factory. This is being done in a preprint factory, i.e. Felco in Eerbeek (NL), where they can print up to 8 colours plus varnish.

Postprint is an indirect Flexo printing technique we use in our factory. On our processing machines we print the boxes and trays after that corrugated is being made. That is why you call it postprint.

On our location in De Lier work about 600 people in the factory, erecting center, transport and offices.

Corrugated cardboard is a very sustainable product. Our corrugated board is 100% biobased, is 100% recyclable and 100% biodegradable. In addition, a major advantage of corrugated cardboard is that it is easy to reduce in volume, which makes the return flow very efficient. Also, fresh products can be kept 3 days longer in corrugated cardboard than in plastic, so that corrugated cardboard also helps to reduce food waste.

More than 80% recycled paper is used in our production of packaging. Unfortunately, use of 100% recycled paper is not possible, because paper cannot be recycled indefinitely. A small part of virgin paper therefore have to be added.

Sustainability is very important to us. Corrugated board is already an incredibly beautiful and sustainable product, but of course we do a lot more. You can read this in our CSR document where we annually describe what we do about sustainability.

In our production we have a MOQ of 3,000m². The number of boxes therefore depends on the size of the packaging. From these quantities your packaging can be custom made. For the fresh produce market we have an extensive range of standard trays in stock from which you can choose.
