Every year on 18th March, food lovers across the UK raise a fork to one of Britain’s most iconic traditional foods: black pudding. National Black Pudding Day is a celebration of heritage, craftsmanship, and the enduring popularity of this much-loved delicacy.
At Weald Packaging Supplies, we’re proud to support the butchers, farm shops, delis, and food producers who keep this tradition alive - ensuring their products are packaged safely, attractively, and sustainably from production through to sale.
Black pudding has deep roots in British and Irish culinary history, with variations enjoyed for centuries. From hearty breakfasts to modern fine-dining creations, this versatile product has earned its place on menus nationwide.
One of the UK’s most famous producers, Bury Black Puddings Co., has helped put black pudding firmly on the culinary map. The town of Bury itself is often regarded as the spiritual home of black pudding, even hosting annual celebrations in its honour.
Whether served as part of a traditional full English breakfast or incorporated into innovative dishes by top chefs, black pudding continues to evolve while respecting its roots.
National Black Pudding Day is also a celebration of independent butchers and artisan producers who dedicate time and expertise to perfecting their recipes. From family-run butcher shops to established brands, presentation and freshness are just as important as flavour.
That’s where Weald Packaging Supplies comes in.
We support producers at every stage of production with a comprehensive range of products, including:
By sourcing packaging, casings, ingredients, and presentation materials from one trusted supplier, producers can simplify operations while maintaining consistent quality.

Printed vacuum pouches and branded boxes also help artisan producers stand out, reinforcing product identity and professionalism whether sold in-store, online, or through wholesale channels.
As consumer demand grows for both traditional foods and sustainable practices, businesses need packaging solutions that balance performance with environmental responsibility. We’re committed to offering options that help our customers meet these expectations.
Sustainability is increasingly important for artisan food businesses. Customers are paying closer attention to how products are packaged, especially when buying traditional and locally produced goods.

Introducing compostable or biodegradable packaging alongside responsibly sourced ingredients helps strengthen your brand message while meeting modern consumer expectations and maintaining the performance required for fresh meat products.
National Black Pudding Day isn’t just about celebrating the past - it’s about supporting the future of British food production. As tastes evolve and customers seek premium, locally produced goods, independent butchers and food producers remain at the heart of our communities.
At Weald Packaging Supplies, we proudly support artisan producers.
