Celebrating 50 Years of Quality Packaging
We’re celebrating 50 years since Paul Mehta founded Polyclear in 1976. It all started in a small garden shed, housing just one machine.
Since 2012, eldest son Jatin has been carrying the torch, ensuring Polyclear continues to uphold the quality, integrity and customer service to which it has long built its name to.

EnquireUnsure on what packaging you need?
Whenever it suits you, we’re happy to talk it through on the phone — no rush, no obligation.
Built to be responsible.
We operate a closed-loop production environment — materials are handled, processed, and reintroduced entirely on site. All of our packaging is fully recyclable, and we offer up to 100% recycled content.
As an accredited processor, all of our own production waste is reprocessed and re-granulated in Southampton. Nothing leaves our facility.
Accredited with the M&S G4 Standard for Food Contact Packaging.
Popular questions from our customers.
What is the minimum order quantity?
We supply at trade volume — MOQs vary by product. Get in touch and we'll tell you straight away if we're the right fit.
Can you match our exact specification?
Yes. Width, gauge, length, finish, format — we manufacture to your exact brief, every time.
Are your products food-safe?
Yes. We hold BRCGS certification and the M&S G4 Standard for Food Contact Packaging. Our closed-loop facility keeps contamination risk to a minimum.
Do you work with distributors?
It's what we're built for. We've been supplying established UK distributors for over 50 years. If you're interested in partnering, let's talk.
What recycled options do you offer?
All our packaging is 100% recyclable as standard. We also offer products made from up to 100% post-consumer recyclate, and we reprocess all our own waste on-site.
What are your lead times?
Everything is made to order, so lead times vary. Contact us early and we'll give you a clear timeline with your quote.
Do you deliver outside the UK?
We're primarily UK-focused. If you have an international requirement, contact us and we'll see what we can do.
What gauges do you manufacture?
Light-duty liners to heavy-gauge pallet covers — we cover a wide range. Tell us your application and we'll recommend the right spec.
You can now find Amberdale here.
As we celebrate 50 years of Polyclear, we're simplifying how our customers find and purchase our products — and that includes our sister company Amberdale.
Previously at amberdale.co.uk — same team, one place to get in touch.
Going forward, Amberdale and Polyclear will become more closely integrated under the name Polyclear Group. Customers will no longer need to go to two separate places to find and order what they need.
This reflects our continued focus on making things simpler as we move into the next chapter of the business.
