About

I'm Chris — Director at YM Packaging. We design and manufacture primary and secondary packaging machines and automation for consumer brands that have outgrown their current setup.15 years in this industry has taught me one thing: most packaging projects don't fail on the machine. They fail on everything around it — the spec that didn't account for your real-world line, the supplier that disappeared after install, the lead time that slipped and cost you a season.My job is to make sure none of that happens to you.I run UK sales and lead our EU trade show presence, but most of my time is spent on the projects themselves — sitting with founders and ops leads, understanding what they're actually trying to ship, and engineering the right line for it. Not the biggest line. Not the cheapest. The right one.If you're scaling a consumer brand and your packaging line is becoming the bottleneck — or you're planning ahead so it doesn't become one — send me a message. Happy to talk, even if we're not the right fit.Chris
