OUR HERITAGE OVER 125 YEARS

Historic family legacy: My great-grandparents proudly promoting our family business, M. Fish, at a trade show – a testament

Where the story begins 

My great-grandfather purchased M. Fish Packaging after dedicating years of hard work to the established business since 1885, marking the beginning of a new legacy. His commitment and vision transformed the company, building upon its strong foundations while driving innovation and growth. Through generations, our family has upheld his dedication to quality and excellence, ensuring that M. Fish Packaging continues to thrive. His legacy lives on, inspiring us to honour tradition while embracing modern advancements in packaging solutions.

How relationships were formed

There was a time when business was built on handshakes, face-to-face meetings, and handwritten letters—simpler times when relationships were forged through personal connections. Here is my grandfather at a trade show, proudly promoting our family’s packaging company, embodying the dedication and craftsmanship that have defined our legacy. In an era before digital convenience, hard work and passion spoke louder than emails or virtual calls, and our company’s reputation was built on trust, quality, and genuine relationships. His presence at that show represents a time-honoured commitment to excellence that continues to guide us today.

From Clacton to Harrods

My grandfather took a bold step in relocating the business from London to Clacton-on-Sea, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Through dedication and perseverance, he and my grandmother built upon the company’s strong foundation, earning countless awards along the way. His gentleman-like demeanor, unwavering integrity, and commitment to excellence not only set the standard for the business but also paved the way for future generations to follow. His legacy is one of hard work, innovation, and respect—values that continue to shape our family's journey in the packaging industry.

In 2006 M.Fish Packaging was sold but the family kept working for the new owners.

In 2015, Thomas and Tracie founded Luxury Box with a heartfelt mission—to carry forward my grandfather’s legacy and keep the family dream alive. With a deep passion for craftsmanship and an unwavering dedication to quality, they set out to create packaging that reflects the same care and commitment that has defined our family’s business for generations. Luxury Box isn’t just about packaging; it’s about creating something with love, attention to detail, and a personal touch.
Through innovation and tradition, Thomas and Tracie continue to honour the past while shaping the future of packaging excellence. 

Today we are an award winning family 

I can now proudly say that we are an award-winning family, recognized nationwide for excellence in packaging and rapid growth. What started as a dream has become a well-respected name in the industry, a testament to the dedication and passion passed down through generations. While we have achieved our goal of building a renowned packaging business, our journey is far from over. We will continue to innovate, expand, and create new chapters for generations to come. Packaging is in our blood—it’s more than a business, it’s our legacy, and we are committed to shaping its future with the same love and passion that started it all.
