Skatterbox was established back in 1988 by Stan Lynall and his wife. Judy was in the fashion trade when she realised there was an opening for good quality hat boxes at a competitive price so together with Stan's knowledge of the packaging industry and help from the advertising with WWB the regent striped hat box was born. The company went from strength to strength moving from Walsall to its present day site in Cannock, Staffordshire.

In December 2003 Stan and Judy decided to retire and sold the business to Derek and Gillian Green who have both been friends with the family for many years.

Derek has had a long love affair with packaging and its design, having travelled the world advising and designing high-class packaging for the top jewellers such as Dunhill, Aspray's, Garrard to name just a few.

Derek admits this year has been a real learning curve coming in to the ladies fashion industry but the comparables are the same. The right packaging will make all the difference between just shopping and a shopping experience that will help make the client come back for more and more.

This year Derek has come up trumps again. He has improved the quality of the packaging by upgrading materials but not the price to the fashion house and with his latest design of hexagonal garment boxes in 4 sizes and 6 new colours he reckons this will give the discerning client that Beverley Hills shopping experience.
