Our story

A family business from the beginning.

Founded in 1976 by Paul Mehta, starting with a single machine. Now celebrating 50 years of quality packaging, and still family run.

The founder

Paul Mehta

Paul Mehta founded Polyclear in 1976 with a single machine and a simple idea: stand behind the packaging you make.

Since 2012, Paul’s eldest son Jatin has carried that same approach forward, keeping quality, service and integrity at the heart of the business.

What we stand for

The things that haven't changed.

Recyclable by default

All of our products are 100% recyclable, with clear guidance on how they fit into recycling where you operate.

Bespoke every time

We don't do off-the-shelf. Every order is made to your specification material, gauge, dimensions, print.

Planet responsibility

We advise customers on how to use plastic responsibly and help them reduce waste wherever possible.

Relationships first

Our longest customer relationships stretch back decades. That's not an accident it's how we do business.

Accreditations

Recognised for the standards that matter.

BRCGS

Certified to the global standard for food safety and quality.

Sedex

Committed to ethical and responsible supply chains.

Accredited Recycler

All production waste reprocessed on site. Nothing leaves our facility.

M&S G4 Standard

Proud to hold the M&S G4 Standard for Food Contact Packaging.

Sister company

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.

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.
