Print and packaging businesses can have substantial energy requirements across printing presses, converting and finishing equipment, compressed air, drying, heating, cooling, lighting and other production processes. For higher volume operations, electricity and gas costs can have a direct impact on production costs and margins.
Flame Energy can help printers and packaging manufacturers manage commercial electricity and gas procurement, contracts, meters and consumption, with ongoing support throughout the contract period and a coordinated approach for businesses operating across multiple sites.
Sustainability is increasingly important across print and packaging, alongside the need to control operating costs. The sector includes energy intensive production processes, and eligible print and packaging businesses may also participate in Climate Change Agreements that link energy efficiency commitments with reduced Climate Change Levy charges.
Flame Energy can support the wider energy management strategy through renewable electricity procurement, improved consumption visibility and commercial solar where the site, roof space and electricity demand are suitable.
Energy costs remain an important concern across UK manufacturing and print. We can review your electricity and gas requirements, compare suitable products from suppliers on our panel and help develop a procurement approach aligned with your production profile and preferred level of budget certainty.
For businesses with several print, packaging or distribution sites, we can also coordinate suppliers, meters and contract end dates across the portfolio and help plan renewals in advance.
Flame Energy provides ongoing support beyond procurement. We can help coordinate suppliers, contracts, meters and energy queries across a single production facility or a multisite print and packaging group, providing one central point of contact throughout the contract period. Where suitable consumption data is available, we can also help improve visibility of energy use and identify unusual changes that may warrant further investigation.

We can review your electricity and gas contracts and consumption, compare suitable procurement options from suppliers on our panel and provide ongoing support throughout the contract period. The procurement approach can reflect your production requirements and preferred level of budget certainty.
Printing, converting and packaging operations can use energy across presses, production machinery, compressed air, drying, heating, cooling and finishing processes. The exact profile varies by business, but energy costs can have a direct impact on production costs.
Yes. We can coordinate contracts, suppliers, meters and renewal dates across multiple production or distribution facilities, providing one central point of contact for your energy portfolio.
Potentially, yes. Industrial buildings can provide substantial roof space and production sites may have meaningful daytime electricity demand. We can help assess whether onsite solar generation could complement your existing grid electricity supply.
Yes. Where suitable consumption data is available, we can help improve visibility of electricity and gas use and identify unusual changes or patterns that may warrant further investigation.
