As we approach VE Day on the 8th of May, we take a moment not only to remember the courage, resilience, and unity shown during the Second World War but also to honour the enduring spirit of British craftsmanship that helped shape our nation’s legacy.

At Bakers, that same spirit of determination continues to run through everything we do. From our factory floor in Brentwood to the shelves of retailers across the UK, we are proud to be a British manufacturer producing high-quality labels and flexible packaging for brands of all sizes.

From Victory to Vision – Building with Pride

The victory in Europe was built on the tireless efforts of people who worked with precision, discipline, and pride in their purpose. At Bakers, we echo those values in our commitment to innovation and excellence. Our journey – from a small label printing business in the 1970s to one of the UK’s leading independent manufacturers – is rooted in that same dedication to progress and craftsmanship.

Whether it’s producing standout labels with luxurious embellishments or technically advanced flexible packaging for food, drink, cosmetics or supplements, we combine cutting-edge print technology with generations of expertise. Everything we make is proudly produced in the UK, by people who care deeply about quality.

A Time to Celebrate and Reflect

VE Day is not only a time to reflect on the past but also to celebrate what we continue to build today – resilient, forward-thinking businesses that honour the values of yesterday while shaping the solutions of tomorrow.
This year, we’re celebrating British manufacturing with a renewed focus on supporting homegrown brands. Our flexible and extensive production capabilities, in-house Studio support, and collaborative approach make it easy for brands to launch, grow, and adapt without compromise.

Support for Heritage & Commemorative Projects

If you’re creating a limited edition product or planning a commemorative packaging project to mark VE Day or celebrate British heritage, we’re here to help bring your vision to life. From patriotic colours and gold foil details to digitally printed pouches with unique storytelling features, we have the tools and experience to elevate your packaging.

Just like those who built victory with determination and skill, we continue to build your brand with the same pride in British craftsmanship – from our presses in Brentwood to shelves across the UK.

Proud to Be Properly Independent

While some print giants are caught up in mergers and red tape, we move fast, think smart, and make decisions right here at HQ. That independence? It’s our superpower. It means we can be flexible when others can’t—and bold when others won’t.

We’re proud to support British brands, from household names to one-person start-ups. And if you’re creating a limited-edition product, launching a nostalgic range, or simply want your packaging to scream “quality,” we’ve got the tech, team, and talent to make it happen.

Let’s Make Something Worth Celebrating

VE Day isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a reminder of what’s possible when passion meets purpose. We honour that spirit every day, helping brands tell their stories through brilliant labels and bold packaging.

From our Brentwood pressroom to shelves across the UK, we’re crafting packaging with the same pride and precision that helped build a nation. Independent. British. Brilliant.
