Our values
What we believe in
These are the values that guide how we work, how we treat people, and how we try to do things the right way.
We put our customers first – We try to be helpful, honest, and quick to respond. If something goes wrong, we sort it. If it works well, we try to make it even better.
We do things properly – There’s no cutting corners here. We care about the little details, and if our name’s going on it, it needs to be right—simple as that.
We make everything ourselves – All our products are made in-house, right here in Wales. That way we know exactly what’s going out the door—and we can stand by it.
We keep moving forward – We don’t like standing still. Whether it’s new kit, better materials or smarter ideas, we’re always looking for ways to improve what we do.
We try to tread lightly – We’re not perfect, but we’re doing our best to reduce waste, use more sustainable materials, and make decisions that are better for the planet.
We look after our people – Some of our team have been here 30 years or more. We treat each other with respect and pass skills on so nothing’s lost between generations.
We say what we mean – No nonsense, no big claims we can’t back up. If we promise something, we deliver it. And if we can’t—we’ll tell you straight.
Here are the milestones
Chevler – Key Historical Milestones
From our beginnings in 1922 as Cheverton & Laidler, we’ve evolved through generations of innovation and craftsmanship. A management buyout in 1950 marked the transition to Chevler Packaging, with another in 2008 shaping the Chevler Limited we know today. Over the decades, we’ve pioneered baking case design, developed market-leading printed papers, and built long-standing partnerships across the UK and Europe. Our story is one of quality, consistency, and an unwavering commitment to our customers.

We’ve been using Chevler paper for years and it’s been a game-changer. Sophie and her team are simply outstanding! The exceptional quality of their paper elevates our products, ensuring our brand is always front and centre for our customers to see. It’s a perfect blend of quality and presentation!

I have worked with Chevler on many projects and always impressed by their reliability and quality. Absolute pleasure to deal with Sophie who has helped me out of many scrapes at the last minute.

Michael McCarthy
Great company that offers bespoke greaseproof as well as off the shelf greaseproof, much cheaper to buy it here than in smaller packs.
Chevler always bend over backwards for our requests and are always helpful with a personal touch. Sophie is a fantastic help and always gets it sorted. Our product pops sat on the greaseproof!
I’m so glad I found Chevler for my mailbox bakery business. They took my brief and delivered with speed and top-notch customer service.

We at the Langham have been using Chevler for years for both branded and unbranded greaseproof paper. The quality is consistently excellent, and their fast lead time of just two weeks ensures we always have what we need on time. Highly recommended!
