Mansfield-based 3P Direct has been given planning approval to extend its existing site on Millennium Business Park, Mansfield.

This extension will see storage space doubled for the print and packaging experts, make room for a greater manufacturing capacity and create a number of new jobs to boost the local economy.

As part of this expansion, the Mansfield firm has updated its branding to boost its already considerable online presence.

3P Direct is one of the largest packaging merchants in the East Midlands, with its lorries delivering as far south as Milton Keynes and as far north as Leeds. In addition, it offers the latest cut-off time in the UK for packaging materials, all of which can be delivered nationwide and ordered via its popular online store, UKPackaging.com

3P Direct also recently launched a new site, UKPrinting.com with many of its larger customers purchasing both print and packaging products.

Richard Tyler, co-Founder and director of 3P Direct, said: “We are delighted that we’ve been given planning approval to extend the factory. It’s already a large site, but this will put us in a great position now for the years to come.

“It means more local jobs, and we can build on our local offering whilst also developing our national sales via our two web sites.”

3P Direct has been based at the Millennium Business Park since 2004.
