Get to know the passionate team behind FarmSkirnCS and our commitment to exceptional packaging solutions for farm products!
FarmSkirnCS was founded in 2015 with a simple yet powerful mission: to help agricultural producers stand out in the marketplace through exceptional packaging that reflects the quality of their products.
Our journey began when our founder, Emma Hartley, noticed a gap in the market while working with local farmers. Despite producing exceptional goods, many small and medium-sized farms were using generic packaging that failed to communicate their unique stories and product quality to consumers.
With backgrounds spanning graphic design, sustainable materials science, and agricultural marketing, our founding team set out to create a studio dedicated to developing packaging solutions specifically tailored to the unique needs of farm products.
What started as a small consultancy has grown into a comprehensive packaging design and production service with clients ranging from family-owned farms to larger agricultural cooperatives across the UK and Europe.
To empower agricultural producers with packaging solutions that tell their unique stories, preserve product quality, and connect meaningfully with consumers while minimizing environmental impact.
We believe that packaging should enhance and protect product quality, never detract from it. Every solution we create is built to perform exceptionally while looking beautiful.
Environmental responsibility isn't an afterthought—it's integral to every project we undertake. We continuously search for the most sustainable materials and processes without sacrificing performance.
We believe in the power of authentic stories. Our packaging designs aim to communicate the genuine passion, heritage, and values behind every farm product we help bring to market.
The best solutions emerge when we work closely with our clients, combining their deep product knowledge with our packaging expertise to create something truly unique.
Our diverse team brings together expertise in packaging design, sustainable materials, agricultural marketing, and production technology to create comprehensive solutions for our clients.
