Modo was started in 1998 and is owned by Henry Lavelle and Tim Bevan.

Henry Lavelle is the creative director and he started his career doing all the creative packaging for his brother's label MOWAX. All releases were special from pop-ups to toys.

Tim Bevan was the managing director of the Bertelsmann-owned Sonopress UK Ltd. Sonopress was a mass manufacturer of CD, DVD and the related printed parts.

This fusion of mass manufacturing and bespoke packaging has been combined to provide quality and innovative packaging that is cost effective and sympathetic to the requirements of today's retail environment.

Modo is able to offer a vast range of products already available in the marketplace but also specialises in designing and creating new and exciting packaging that enhances the product at retail.

Modo has a global supplier bases that enables it to be competitive and source a huge variety of materials and products.

Modo has in-house design and access to a pool of creative talent that enables it to offer creative solutions to any brief.

Modo keeps itself at the cutting edge of creative packaging and by using a vast number of different suppliers it is able to proactively service the home entertainment market.

Three years ago, Modo set out to produce a product that was environmentally friendly. The resulting Act-Pac uses a tray made from potato starch to replace the plastic tray in the digi-style pack.

Modo can do runs from 100 to 1 million units and is successful and well skilled at project management. The bringing together of all the elements for some of the bespoke projects is a logistical nightmare but something that we pride ourselves in managing with the utmost efficiency.

Modo also offers a competitive solution to any company's standard manufacturing and production needs, from vinyl to DVD and all the related printed items.
