About Us

We were honoured to win the Queen’s Award for Export and were invited to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen and personally receive the award from Her Royal Highness.

The ‘Oscars’ of the UK tin box industry!

Best in Metal! Year on year, our tins have won the prestigious “Best in Metal” Awards – in all categories including Gold, Silver and Bronze.

We also won a World Packaging Organisation Award! Each year WPO recognises the best of the best in packaging innovations from across the globe.

In 2005, we moved our offices to the beautiful Somerley Estate!

…and if you’re influenced by where you work then this is one of the reasons why so many good things are coming out of the Silver Crane design studios.

In 2009, we were winners at the UK Packaging Award! This was an award we continued to win for a number of years after but in 2012, we were awarded Design Team of the Year! This was a major award for Silver Crane as we were up against hundreds of design teams across the entire packaging industry!

In May, we opened our 50,000 sq ft modern warehouse and packing facility in Poole, UK. It is an ambient temperature-controlled warehouse and distribution centre ideally placed near to international ports and major highways.

Motif was awarded GOLD for its packaging design in the annual FAB awards confectionery and snacks category, runners up included the likes of Fortnum and Mason and Montezuma.

We won Reusable Pack of the Year at the UK Packaging Awards! Rather than just designing beautiful tins suited to one use, we design for longevity and repurpose.

We are thrilled to announce that we won in both the Scale-up and Export categories at the Dorset business awards!

This achievement reflects the hard work, dedication, and innovation of our entire team. Winning these awards not only recognises our commitment to growth and excellence but also highlights our ability to expand our reach and make a significant impact in international markets.

In September 2024, we inaugurated a newly renovated 40,000 sq ft warehouse with an additional six packing rooms. Situated just 20 minutes from our Poole warehouses, this facility enhances our current operations. Featuring dedicated zones for pallet storage and packing, the Bournemouth warehouse integrates flawlessly with Silver Crane’s global network. Similar to our existing warehouse and storage solutions, these state-of-the-art, temperature-controlled spaces will expand our capacity and enhance our capabilities.

We are absolutely delighted to have secured GOLD in the Innovative Pack of the Year category at The Grocer New Product and Packaging Awards!

Our team is committed to providing outstanding quality and innovation, aiming to surprise and delight customers with our distinctive approach to packaging design. This award reflects that dedication.
