Established in 1892 Swan Mill Paper Company has grown to be a large and diversified business based around the core principles of disposables, ink on paper and party with a particular specialism in all things Christmas.
As both a UK manufacturer, and an importer with full in house design facilities and supported by our Hong Kong office we are able to supply a broad offer in our chosen areas of expertise.
In 2008, we established Swantex Asia with a showroom in Hong Kong to source, quality control and supply our ranges of products worldwide.
In 2015 Swan Mill Group acquired Ling Design Ltd , one of the UK’s leading greetings card publishers. They supply 30 million greetings cards to large UK retailers, independents, charities and also to over 30 countries around the world. In 2019 the Great British Card Company (GBCC) was added to SMPC’s portfolio. As another leading UK greetings card publisher GBCC adds a garden centre speciality to the group’s portfolio including a card brokerage and merchandising business called Waterwells. GBCC also specialises in humour cards and licensing which are incremental to the portfolio and offer. Both businesses are still managed separately and have a comprehensive offer of single cards, boxed Christmas cards, advent calendars, gift packaging and stationery. The Group is supported by its dedicated design studios in Bath and Gloucester allowing it to work on branded and own label programmes for customers in the UK and around the world.
In 2018 the group launched its Swantex Green brand for products which were traditionally made of plastic. The range now includes paper straws, wooden cutlery and bagasse containers. Swantex Green products are available in retailers around the world and also through the hospitality market. Amongst recent environmental initiatives is our drive to remove many tonnes of plastic and glitter from products such as Christmas crackers and greeting cards. From 2020 all new cracker designs are glitter and plastic free. Other initiatives that the group runs across all their sites include waste reduction, energy efficiency and corporate responsibility. The group continues to expand, bring new products to market and invest in people, machinery and products in line with customer requirement and the market. Come and talk to us…
We strive to source the most environmentally sound raw materials and to be at the forefront of green product innovation. With many of our products being single-use, we aim to offer our customers the most environmentally friendly product available to meet their requirements; products that where possible, can be recycled, composted or biodegraded. We are researching the possibility of replacing single-use products with multiple -use versions which are suitable for the catering and retail industries, to further reduce the use of raw material and waste generation. Swantex Green environmentally friendly products include :
Paper straws
Wooden cutlery and stirrers
Bagasse Tableware
Bagasse Serverware
All of our napkins are made from FSC® certified paper. For our 1 and 2 ply white napkins – we use 100% recycled paper – the only UK maker to offer this.
Our Swantex Asia office and showrooms In Hong Kong offers sourcing and design and a full FOB supply service for our products. We can provide the widest possible range at the best prices and quality, and our knowledgeable sourcing teams can help you find and tailor products to your requirements. Our Swantex office in Hong Kong arranges regular factory inspections and audits to ensure that our high quality standards are maintained for our customers.
