W. MacCarthy & Sons is a 5th generation family run business that has been manufacturing cardboard packaging since its establishment in 1880. With 143 years of expertise, we are renowned for our top-quality presentation boxes and wire stitched boxes.

All of our packaging is manufactured in our London-based factory, with occasional outsourcing to local printers for printing services. We pride ourselves on using materials sourced through British companies, many of which are manufactured in the UK. Our founder, William (Liam) MacCarthy, started the business from his kitchen in Camberwell and little did he know that it would thrive for four generations.

Apart from his dedication to the box trade, Liam was a well-known figure in the London-based Irish community and even donated the Liam MacCarthy Cup, which is still awarded to the winners of the All Ireland Hurling Final every year. Today, W. MacCarthy & Sons remains a London-based company, with our factory now located in Woolwich.

We invite you to witness our traditional manufacturing techniques and fascinating machinery by arranging a visit to our facility. With two generations of MacCarthy's currently involved in the business, along with our experienced staff, we are dedicated to providing the best advice and superior packaging solutions.
