Who we are

Out The Box Global sits between the people who make food and the people who sell it.

Some of our work starts with a buyer who needs a range that nobody is supplying yet. Some of it starts with a brand owner who wants their name on a product their factory cannot make. Either way the job is the same: find the manufacturer, build the product, get it on the shelf, and keep it there.

Seventy years of combined experience sits behind that. Three UK sites handle the storage, the repacking and the relabelling. Manufacturing partners across four continents handle the rest. It is not glamorous work, but it is the reason a licensed range can go from a conversation to 49 shelf ready lines inside a year.

What we do

Three ways in.

  • Innovate

    Products that did not exist last year.

    We build own brand, private label and new products alongside manufacturing partners in the UK, Europe, Asia and the US. Bring us a gap on a planogram and we will fill it.

    • Own brand
    • Private label
    • New product development
    • Niche briefs

  • Licence

    Household names, new aisles.

    We take brands people already trust and put them where nobody expected to find them. Food and non-food, from licensed ranges to full gifting programmes.

    • Non-food programmes
    • Brand management
    • Range architecture

  • Distribute

    From the factory floor to the shelf.

    Branded and licensed food sourced worldwide, including world food, Kosher and Halal. By container, by pallet, or by the single case when that is what the order needs.

Our range

What we supply,
by product type.

A taste of the range, sorted by product type, because most buyers start with a gap in a category rather than a name. Ask us for the full list, brands included, and we will send it over.

  • Sauces, mayonnaise and seasonings Ambient, squeezy and sachet formats
  • Apple crisps and fruit sticks Gluten free and sugar free options
  • Chips and fries Ambient through to frozen
  • Mini crackers and savoury snacks Single serve and sharing
  • Cheddar sauces Retail and food service packs

Categories

Ten categories, one partner.

Licensed project

A grooming range
from a name you know.

A household brand wanted to be in a category it had never sold into. We built the programme end to end: product, packaging, supply and the retail calendar that keeps it moving all year.

Father's Day, Christmas, Valentine's, graduations and birthdays. Gifting demand does not stop, so neither does the range.

How we work

Built to deliver,
at any size.

  • Three UK sites

    Head office and warehousing in Manchester, with further warehousing in Warrington and Essex.

  • Any order size

    Container, pallet or single case. We would rather take the awkward order than send you somewhere else.

  • Handled in house

    Repacking, shrink wrap and relabelling, so stock arrives in the format the account actually asked for.

  • Technical standards

    BRC, ISO and HACCP, plus Halal and Kosher expertise held in house rather than outsourced.
